Best way to break up with a STR cleaner?

[Melissa Bovee]

I have been changing some processes at my STR and it has come out more and more that my cleaner is not the best fit for me. She has been open about things she won't do (change duvets every clean, spot clean carpets when needed), which I think provides a great opening for me to gracefully switch to someone else. She has a process and several clients and doesn't really deviate from her process, which I totally respect. Now that I have sourced a replacement, I'm wondering how much notice I should give my current cleaner. On one hand I like the idea of giving a couple weeks so she can plan and take my future jobs off her schedule. On the other hand there is always the chance that she doesn't show to the last job or two, or doesn't return the linen she carries away. I am not local, but I'm planning to be at my STR in 3 weeks to check in on the place, reset some things, and walk through with the new cleaner who will do her first clean when I depart.

Thanks in advance for your input!
