Boyfriend Brain Teasers: Cleaning day

There was a certain edge to the GWO's voice tonight when he reminded me to have the kitchen cleaned up because the putzfrauen (bzw. sprzÄ…taczki) are coming tomorrow and any dishes we leave, they'll wash up for us.

Do they charge us extra for this? No, it's a fixed fee for the visit no matter what.

(Yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, too.)

This is what I was going to say, and I'll add that when we mess this up I generally take the dishes out of the dish rack where they are drying and put them into the dishwasher, because all evidence I have points to the fact that I don't really have the same cleaning philosophy as my cleaners. They likely didn't use the same soap or implements as I would to clean the dishes, and while I don't care wrt the rest of the house that our cleaning methods might be different, for some reason it icks me out when thinking about tableware.
