[quote=Anonymous]When we've had live-ins they have usually asked something like "Ok if I throw a load of laundry in?" at first, and also they might check if it's a convenient time to do so sometimes, if they can see we have a load waiting to go in. I always made it clear they didn't need to ask, and we tended to get into a routine of when they did their laundry and when we did ours. I made it clear in the work agreement that we would provide all laundry products (but of course they didn't have to use them if they preferred something else )... it would certainly never occur to me to charge for them, that's ridiculous.

You should talk to your employers about this, but to me it is a red flag that they didn't cover this in advance or explain why they feel the need to charge you. Obviously you should buy your own products as it sounds like they are over-charging. For sure ask them if there are any other items that they intend to charge you for, so you can make the decision to provide your own instead if you want to. But really, they sound pretty cheap.[/quote]
