[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything her loyalty, as you call it, is to the lower income working class people just trying to make enough money to put food on the table and a roof over their heads like she is. You certainly have a right to be unhappy with the cleaners but perhaps you should ask them why they're using their products instead of yours. There might be a reason.

If you make a big production about this the only thing you'll achieve is making sure your nanny keeps her trap shut and tells you nothing in the future. Tread lightly. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. Just let her know (nicely and w/o malice or fear of reprisals) that if the house cleaners use xyz to let you know.

Frankly I'm surprised the nanny was even home when the cleaners came. I always get the kids out of the house so they're not following the cleaners around, getting into the supplies and making messes. [/quote]

This is fair - thx.  By the way, there is a reason they used their products.  The highly chemical products work better because they essentially take the coating off glazed tile, rather than having to actually scrub away the dirt which is what you have to do with less corrosive products.  This was factored in when I hired them - I recognized it would take longer for them to clean and the estimate was given accordingly.  Over the years they started wanting to get out of the house quicker and quicker and took more and more shortcuts (ultimately to the point where I decided my house wasn't getting clean enough).  I've hired a company that only uses organic products this time, so I figure they will know how to use them most effectively and price the extra labor into the bid.  [/quote]
