Why Cleaning in China Feels Overwhelming

1.  Communication Breakdowns  

-Misunderstandings on tasks (e.g., "deep clean" vs. "tidying") or special requests (e.g., "use eco-friendly products only").  

-Inability to convey delicate needs: _"How do I say ‘clean the dishwasher filter’ in Mandarin?" 

2. App Obstacles  

-Local platforms (58到家-58Daojia) require Chinese ID/payment binding.  

-Unintuitive interfaces: Rating systems, service selection, and pricing tiers buried in Chinese menus.  

3.Quality & Trust Gaps 

-Inconsistent results: 65% of expats report cleaners skipping hidden zones (AC filters, oven interiors, balcony drains).  

-Security concerns: Unvetted staff accessing homes with valuables.  

4.Cultural Mismatches  

-Differing cleanliness standards (e.g., Western-style floor scrubbing vs. surface mopping).  

-Unfamiliarity with expat appliances (Bosch dishwashers, Miele vacuums).
