The cleaner is here. Moroccan, one damp cloth, just wiped the bog, now wiping the door handles and desk tops… pantry next...
In one place I worked, we used to have a similar cleaner, one cloth for all. She was english but really ropey looking, smelly and thick (honestly she couldnt walk and talk at the same time).
Be careful how you say things and to whom by the way. You often find the vagrants of the office, have high up friends who dont like the vagrants lack of hygiene discussed without diplomacy ...
I always used to say "no thanks" when she offered to clean near my desk. Once she did and luckily for me, I kept anti-bacterial in my desk, used a lot that day and the following day after a ginger co-worker sat at my desk once.

I always, always use that no-soap anti-bacterial hand stuff at work. I've seen the appalling hygiene of some of my "colleagues" and I'm more worried about catching something from them rather than the cleaners.
...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
My Brother recently brought a new house and he was exiting via the side door one morning and there was a brand new fully loaded 5 series BMW parked across his drive, he thought who the Fook has parked that across my drive then he heard someone knocking on the front door so he goes round the front of the house there was this realy poshed dress women standing at his door, so he says "can i help" and she says in a proper posh accent "i am the sparkle clean lady come to clean the house"

Ah yes. I did a couple of days in a place where they try to train long term jobless for work, and they had disinfectant hand cream dispensers everywhere, even in corridors.
It was a bit of a culture shock to me.
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

Pooftah!
Seriously what is it with this fad for anti-bacterial gel. Maybe during an actual epidemic it's justifiable, but like taxes, it seems set to remain a fixture in many places. I refuse to use it on principle... humans ARE dirty, bacteria are part of us.

I am in the wrong job
Translation: She owned the Sparkle Clean company and was filling in for someone who had blobbed.
