it´s extremely common in brazil to have a cleaning lady.
but nowdays I see there's nothing better than taking care of your own stuff.Now, with only myself taking care of my dust everything is way more organized.
the previous cleaning lady always meesed my house, kept things in strange places , for example: pencils, pens, erasers in the kitchen drawer , books in the bathroom medicine cabinet, small earrings in plant vases.
Drawers were her favourite place to hide the dirt, we could find anything from tools to important documents all in a handsize drawer lol, talk about optimization of space! it was a nightmare trying to find things. If you wanted your shirt you had to look for it everywhere except in your wardrobe, thats the last place she'd put it lol. it's good not having to play seek and hide with my stuff now that she doesnt work here .
