Clueless cleaning company

For an entire month, I've been reminding them that one of the main jobs of the person helping us with our Passover cleaning is to clean the oven with Easy-Off. This is the only time of the year that I use a toxic cleaner.

So they send over a cleaning person who sprays Easy-Off in the oven--and promptly gets too sick from the fumes to work. Let me get this straight: You knew that cleaning the oven was one of the main requirements for this assignment--and you sent a cleaner with asthma?! Dudes and dudettes, I have asthma, which is one of the reasons why I hired someone else to clean the oven!

Fortunately, a more intelligent scheduler tells the sick cleaner to trade assignments with another cleaner, who arrives about an hour later, finding my husband with his head in the oven, literally, since we were afraid to leave the Easy-Off on the oven surfaces until the second cleaner's originally-scheduled arrival time four hours later. The second cleaner does a wonderful job, even volunteering to have a go at the stove with a toothbrush(!), and even manages the amazing feat of getting all the shelves and bins, post-scrubbing, back into the refrigerator without instructions. All's well that ends well. I'm quite relieved that my poor husband doesn't have to abandon his tax-return preparation for too long to lend a hand.

But this is at least the second year in a row that one of this company's cleaners came to do Passover cleaning unprepared to use Easy-Off. We'll probably just do the job ourselves once my husband retires--he can do the oven cleaning and the heavy lifting (to spare my bad wrists), and I'll put all the appliances away and foil up the 'fridge and counter tops.
