Recycles dryer sheets
We figure there is only two ways to get Covid 19. You can go out and pick it up. Or you can have it delivered.
Who cares? Live your life!
yup...still having her in every two weeks. she doesn't require us to wear a mask and vice-versa. she uses her own cleaning supplies. we've always pretty much stayed out of her way while she's here and that, too, has not changed. as long as she is willing this will comtinue.Curious, we have had the same woman for years. She is like family every two weeks now.
She has been wearing a mask as have we and only cleans with the supplies in our house. That said, we are not her only customers and of course cannot control who and what she is doing away from us.
As higher risk people we are approaching windows closed season, thus far they have been wide open.
DW and me are both so torn right now what to do. My back issues making cleaning a chore and she is the one luxury I have always said I would sacrifice other expenses for.

Bacow recounted his reaction upon finding out that he and his wife had tested positive for COVID-19 on March 24: “Well, we’d been very, very careful, and I was a little bit surprised, in truth, because Adele and I had not seen anyone except each other for close to ten days before we started experiencing symptoms. We were completely isolated in the house,” Bacow said.
But the Bacows had not, in fact, been isolated in their house. They had continued to invite two Harvard custodians to clean their home for four hours, twice a week, well into the first wave of the pandemic. Bacow resides in Elmwood, the traditional home of University presidents.
According to one of these custodians, Diana, who spoke under condition of anonymity, the last day they cleaned the Bacow residence was March 19, ten days after the University announced it was shutting down and three days before the Bacows began experiencing symptoms.
For those of you who still have housekeepers coming in your house how long do you stay out of the house after the housekeeper leave? Doesn't the virus droplets stay in the air for 3 hours or so?
We're usually back in the house about an hour after she finishes. According to the calculator found here, that should be enough time form more than 90% of any airborne Covid to decay. Your timing may differ based on sunlight, temp and humidity.
I can understand how temperature and humidity could affect the airborne virus inside the house but I con't understand how sunlight would affect the virus inside the house (unless maybe you had real large windows with no window coverings).

Think of it as a painless way to de-clutter.Way too easy for someone to pocket a small knickknack, without my noticing till it's too late to complain/accuse. Unless I go behind them every single time, checking every display cabinet.
