Hi Helen, I’m glad you found our article helpful for your grandmother – good luck with your search and do let us know if we can help you with any specific recruitment. 🙂

Hello Ruby, thank you for your comment. Depending on the housekeeping service you recruit will affect this. Most of our housekeepers would use equipment provided by the principal (client) in their home, as they can then be in charge of the quality and product type. Some clients prefer organic, eco-friendly products for example, whilst others prefer more abrasive cleaning materials such as bleach. If your friend hired a housekeeper who worked as part of a housekeeping company, then the company might send a housekeeper with their own equipment, but this isn’t an area in which we are specialising in. Our advice is to work with a housekeeper who will work with the individual client or family, ensuring that the cleaning products they use suit the families preferences, this can include all the hardware from irons and mops through to the cleaning products themselves. I hope this helps! 🙂
