Tell Your Housekeepers to Stay Home, But Pay Them If You Can

By 1 Min Read

Do you have a housekeeper or cleaning service?

Because COVID-19 is viable for days on surfaces, they’re at extra risk of catching the virus if they’re coming and going from peoples’ homes. Even if your home has zero risk, it significantly increases their stress level to visit each home.

Action you can take

One small but very wonderful action you can take is to ask them to skip their visits for the forseeable future.

And if you’re able, continue to pay them. They will have significant disruptions in their own revenues. They’ll be grateful.

See this story: “House Cleaners Are Out Of Work And Unprotected During The Coronavirus Outbreak“

If you do that, we sure do appreciate it. #bigthanks to you.
