How Can I Get Out Of An Office Clean

[Treacle71]

A new girl has started in our office and she is a clean freak. She wants us all to bring in a cleaning product so we can all have a deep clean in our office. Well, I do enough of that at home and I simply don't want to get involved with that in the workplace. It's not like we don't have a cleaner either - she does only hoover and empty the bins. How do I get out of this? I don't fancy bringing in my Marigold's whatsoever.

You just refuse. Tell her you do enough cleaning at home and don't want to do it at work.

Leave the new girl to do the cleaning if she is so keen on it.

She sounds pretty pushy to have only started in the job. Just refuse or if you feel you need an excuse refer her to your job description (if it doesn't mention cleaning). I'm sure you'll not be the only one to refuse

Perhaps she wants to keep covid out of the office .
...just a thought.

ignore, you are not hired to clean the place.

[naomi24]

Say 'No' - and firmly. If she wants to do it, let her.

[Bazile]

is she the gaffer's daughter ?

[ToraToraTora]

doesn't matter if she's the gaffer herself, you are not hired to clean the place, end of.

You beat me to it, Bazile.

Treacle, you tell the pushy new girl on the block to clean away to her hearts content. You won't be joining in any time soon.

You could also tell her how inappropriate it is for her to be doing the cleaners work while she should be getting on with her work. If she’s not happy with the level of cleanliness she she mention it to the boss and see how they like that!!!

bet the 'new kid on the block' has made herself very popular . . .

take some minutes when the cleaning starts
