Maybe this is a stupid question, but do you supply all of the cleaning supplies? I think I have everything she'll need, but should I ask her if she wants anything specific? Or do they bring their own? Also, is it awkward to be home while they are cleaning?
Why do I feel like I should clean for the cleaning lady?
Re: if you have a cleaning lady...
Our cleaning lady brings all of her own supplies, including a vacuum.
We are usually home when she comes. I prefer to try and schedule it that way.
I do/feel the same way.
We don't currently have a cleaning lady, but when we did I let her come when we were at work. When I was there when she was cleaning, I always felt like I was in her way even though I wasn't! She was awesome and hopefully when I go back to work, I have her come clean again.
She brought all her own cleaning supplies and her own vacuum!
