to sack cleaner who went through my laundry basket?

[Noendofideas]

Long story short; new cleaner- job includes washing and ironing DC clothes. All tasks written out and agreed. Not doing a fantastic job generally but today discovered she has gone through my laundry basket and done some of my washing. Hasn't done any dc washing. I expressly said no need to touch my stuff. When asked why she said she forgot it was supposed to just be the dc washing. I am absolutely livid that she went through my laundry basket, which is full and thought this was acceptable. I want to sack her immediately but DH thinks I am being unfair and it was just a stupid mistake. Who is bu?

Iwant the OP already has written all her instructions down for her cleaner....

Do not use her service anymore. It's that simple regarding her employment status relating to you.
On the other hand, I really understand why you are pissed she did your laundry when she was not supposed to (and did not do the one she was paid to do). There are so many fabrics and clothes that can be ruined by a normal cycle in the washing machine, that she may very well have done a very expensive mistake, that she could have easily avoided.
Lot of MNetters are snippy here: "do your own washing, woman!", "why do you keep your laundry in your closet?", "You have a cleaner, you rich bint, how dare you complain?" The poor OP was not incendiary, was very reasonable in her answer, and y'all grabbed your pitchforks. I guess the educated, open-minded woman of MN is just as much of a sheep as the rest of the world, just happy to pile on people when it is socially acceptable to do it...

A number of threads on here have been about intrusive mothers/mothers-in-law who have 'helpfully' done the OP's washing.

Most people have thrown up their hands in horror at the inappropriateness of it.

Don't see the difference myself.
