I’ve done it both ways.
The first time we hired someone I was like you and had a ton of stuff already. She didn’t bring supplies so she used what I had, made recommendations for certain things, and let me know when items were low.
Then we moved and I had to hire another person. This time she brought her own stuff. I was most concerned about floor cleaner, but she uses vinegar so that was fine by me. While independent now, she used to work for a cleaning company and learned what works for her so it makes sense that she brings everything. She is welcome to use anything we have, like paper towels, but even then she brings a bunch of rags and takes them home to wash.
Idk? I guess it’s just amusing to me that she would rather lug this big canister vacuum to my house than use mine. I mean, my vacuum is perfectly fine.
Hmm, I guess I don't see it! Our house cleaners have always brought their own equipment. I also used to clean and can tell you that the functionality and familiarity of equipment really make a difference.
I supply all the cleaning products, vacuum, mop, broom/dustpan, paper towels, gloves and rags. She has occasionally bought things and I’ve reimbursed her for them, things like a new mop or new rags.
This was our agreement from the start though. When she came to give me a quote we discussed what things I had and what I’d need to buy for her. It wasn’t a surprise. She leaves me a note if she runs out of something so I can buy it before she comes back.
this is basically us. Except when she runs out, she buys more and gives us the reciept.
I do think she brings her own rags, though. Or at least some.
She brings her own stuff. She has a vacuum, but we have central vac so she just uses that.
I can never get my vacuum lines and floors as clean as she does. Some of the best money we spend each month! She makes her own cleaning products and our house looks fantastic. But during the weeks when she’s not here I’m actually more than happy to use all the chemicals and bleach on my bathrooms. She also cleans my parents house and my Mom does the same thing
