It depends on what the cleaner prefers. My daughter’s cleaner brings her own set of tools and cleaning supplies previously discussed and approved (they have a cat and a toddler so nothing heavily chemical). She prefers to bring her own things, she has the whole arsenal of things. I think it’s important to discuss those things.

I once contacted cleaning company. I wanted deep spring cleaning. They said they do big cleaning first time but then just maintenance monthly would be cheaper. I swear they said either 300 or 400. We don’t have a big house and it’s not dirty, they didn’t even see it. I just told them footage and number of rooms. I said no thanks.

Also there’s a difference between cleaning companies, cleaners doing it full time and random people doing clean up here and there to make extra money. Not the same thing.
Thanks for this!
