When hiring a Cleaning Service to clean your home or office it's important that they use your vacuum(s), mop(s) and cleaning rags.

If a Cleaning Service uses their vacuum in your home just after they were in a home with a bug infestation like fleas,  they can infest your home.   (This information came from my Exterminator.)

Mops and rags pick up dirt and germs. 

To be safe, I have my Service use my vacuums, mops and rags.  Once they are finished I disinfect the mop and rags in bleach.

wow never thought of that. I am going to check with our service and see what they have to say. Next time I talk to an exterinator I will ask them too.

Thank you for the information!

Charles-  Thank you for reading my blog.... A past Buyer had contacted me because they don't have any pets and the home they bought just had all new carpeting installed.  A month after moving in they had a terrible infestation of fleas.  I called my personal Exterminator and he asked if they hava a Cleaning Service that uses their own vacuums.

I have always been very adamant about this.  I do not want someone else's dirt, grime, pet hair, pests etc. in my home.  If those mops, vacuums etc are brought in then they are leaving someone else's stuff in my home.  Good post.

Hmmmm good info - we concur.  We own a Cleaning Service, however we do cleaning with contracts for either painting or carpet cleaning (mostly empty houses or apartments).  We NEVER use the business equipment for home use and it's kept either in the garage or the cleaning vans. I INSIST!

good post
