Same. Small, female-owned business that is licensed and insured If they stole stuff, I'd report it to their insurance.


Aren’t most housecleaning businesses female owned?

Previously I used a service where I got a different cleaner every week, and yes stuff went missing including my bottle of Percocet when they cleaned my house a few days after I had a C section.

I should rephrase this, the only “stuff” that went missing was my pain killers. I don’t think any of them ever stole anything else. But that one sticks in my mind because I actually needed them and couldn’t get a refill. Canceled the service immediately obviously.

Why does society keep putting up with bad behavior? Afraid to speak up?


Because it’s not actually happening.

I don’t believe this for a second. I’ve lived in a house with housecleaners for the better part of 40 years and nothing has ever been stolen. That’s long term individuals and crews of rotating strangers.

It makes absolutely no sense for a housecleaner to steal from their clients. That would be a good way to kill your business or end up on police radar, for what? Some shampoo? Some diamond earrings she’d probably struggle to sell?

What makes sense is that people lose or misplace things, or their family member takes the shampoo to wash the dog or something, and they immediately think the cleaner must have stolen it. I fully believe that THAT happens all the time.

No and I’d fire them if they did.

No. Not normal.


But they do move stuff and then i can’t find it. Or sometimes they throw stuff away. Could they have just thrown away the shampoo bottles?

Put cameras in your home. Even dummy ones. The behavior stops.

You’ll find that stuff next time you deep clean or move. No one wants you used shampoo.

To answer your question, mine have not stolen anything and I leave the house when they clean.

If they clean really well, is it possible they thought the missing items were trash (or at least better off in the trash)?
