If you use a house-cleaning service...

I employ a part-time housekeeper and pay taxes for her. Use all my supplies and equipment. Prefer that over a service since I can choose the person and supplies that work best om my appliances/ surfaces. I can keep equipment/ materials clean and well-maintained.

They use mine, and I get to chose what they use

Do you ever wonder how you got to such a boring person ?

How uneducated can you possibly get?

I used to get a break on price from a service that used my supplies. Now I pay $20 more a visit for a self contained service.

Our services uses their equipment and supplies, but they bring freshly washed cloths and mop heads to each house. I wished they used my vacuum, but they use these backpack style vacuums that are clearly more convenient for them, and I don't want to make their job any harder. We have serious allergies here but haven't had any problems. They do a great job, btw.
