Question:

If you had a house cleaner would you prefer that they bring their own vacuum or use yours?

I am currently doing house cleaning and using my clients vaccums, but I am wondering if I should get my own, because they mostly have area rugs and their vacuum cleaners are just too strong, it's almost like the vacuum's are trying to eat the rugs! So I was looking at the Eureka, The Boss, and was thinking about getting that, because I just don't want to be liable for a ruined vacuum, or rug!What do you think?Would you rather have someone use your own vacuum which may be too strong, or their own which may be just right?

Answer:

I may be in the minority here, but I would prefer that a house keeper, cleaning person use my own sweeper rather than one that has been used in someone else's home. It's one heck of a good way to transmit some not very nice things from one home to another. Things like fleas, bed bugs, dust mites to name a few. We have several throw rugs that the vacuum tries to eat and we just clean those with the hand attachment. Yeah, it requires a little bending over and such but oh well. They are laundered on a regular basis so it's more for pet hair removal than anything else here.
Bring their own, plus if you have a vac already why don't you do it yourself, are you disabled or injured? or just lazy?
I would not object to the person who did my housecleaning bringing their own vacuum cleaner. I would assume that they had a good one that was more suited to a professional than my own household one.
