Cleaning on Tisha B’Av

Question

Honorable Rabbi, greetings and blessings.
Every Thursday I have a cleaning lady come.
Without her, the house looks terrible.
She comes in the morning between 8:00 and 12:00,
and there is no possibility of changing the time.
What should I do regarding Tisha B’Av?

Answer

Greetings and blessings. 

It is forbidden to clean the house on Tisha B’Av until midday.
