    “Kitchen floor not cleaned & dried dog poo smear on floor.”

    Vacuum completely blocked which I unblocked myself to do the job properly & when I vacuumed under armchair & living room it was clear no vacuuming had been done. Also upstairs rear bedroom had dog hairs on the floor but it was stated that no dogs go upstairs. I have taken pictures of dog wee stained runner mats in hallway. The mop smelt like drains so I bought bleach & sorted that aswell. The caretaker / cleaner needs to be replaced as boneidle & very obviously not house proud. Any questions ...
