Do I need a contract with my client in case I get hurt?
I just started a small housekeeping service. I am the only employee and owner. I have been cleaning for other companies for years but I am new at doing it myself. I am licensed and I have liability Ins. This protects me from breaking something. I have a new client that has asked me to write a contract stating that she holds no responsibility if I am hurt at work(in her home). I do not have medical insurance, but I am reluctant to write this contract. I have clients ranging from 7 years to present that have never asked me to do this. Should I make a contract and if so any ideas what it should entail?

Other - Health1 decade agocan I give my dog another dose of flea meds?
My chiuahaua(or however u spell it) has fleas so I bought hartz ultra guard pro. It came with 3 months of treatment. I gave him a flea bath, then put the meds on and gave him a bath the next day. Well Ive now heard its best to not give a bath first and to wait 2-3 days after treatment to bathe. He still has mega fleas, so is it safe to give him another dose. I also got flea spray and sprayed all there bedding after washing. I vacuum daily and even steam cleaned carpets. I need them to go away.

2 AnswersFish1 decade agoTreating ick with high temp and aquarium salt and need support?
My fish have ick. I am treating it with higher temperature 82 degrees and just put in 10 tbs of aquarium salt after doing a 25% water change, I have a 50 gal tank. I hear I'm supposed to do this for up to 10 days, but does that mean I do 25% water changes and 10 tbs salt for ten days cause to me it just seems like a lot of salt. I have 1 lg bottom feeder, 2 small albino catfish, another type of catfish. I only have 1 normal fish in there and he so far has ick the worst, my bottom feeder now has the white spots(hes the one that I want to live the most) any idea if I'm doing this right? or any helpful advice would be appreciated.
4 AnswersFish1 decade agoIs there a difference between a housekeeper and a maid?
I clean houses for a living. Most of my clients have me do the basics in cleaning ie: Mopping,dusting,sweeping,bathrooms etc. but I have a client that has kids and I am responsible for cleaning their clothes thrown all over the floor, toys, and it takes up so much time that is supposed to be used for scouring and stuff. None of my other clients have me do this for their kids. Is this for a housekeeper or a maid? Is their a difference?
