5 Common Maid Problems

She Doesn’t Follow Some Instructions

She tends to only do about 80 percent of what you ask her to.

Be clear with your instructions and make sure she understands what you expect of her.

For instance, telling her to “clean the room” is very vague. How do you want her to clean the room? Which parts do you want cleaned?

You may also want to break down her chores into smaller and more manageable tasks, and ask her to write down your instructions so she doesn’t forget them. When she’s finished, give her positive as well as constructive feedback so she does a better job next time.
