We've had the same cleaner for about the last 2 years. She comes to our house once a week for a few hours. A few weeks ago I went to brush my teeth one day after she'd been to the house, and I noticed my toothbrush was utterly wrecked. I never let my toothbrushes get in a bad state like that. I wondered if she might have been using it to clean (that made me feel like vomiting), and then thought to myself 'no, surely no-one would do that', so I put it down to me not having noticed the brush getting in such a state, threw it in the bin and used another one.
Then last week my daughter came to tell me that she thinks the cleaner used her toothbrush to clean her sink. My daughter does art in her bedroom, and said there'd been blue paint in the sink, and that evening her toothbrush had blue paint on it.
Honestly I am so shocked that someone would do that, and the thought of us all potentially ingesting chemicals she's been using to clean turns my stomach. Everything is pointing at her using the toothbrushes to clean but I cannot understand what the reason would be that she'd do that and I am utterly baffled.
I have no idea what to do. I am as sure as I can be that she's been doing that, but obviously no evidence other than the above 2 instances.
AIBU to get rid of her? And how on earth do I do it? If I ring her she'll presumably deny it? Do I just text and say we don't need her anymore? I feel ill at the thought of it all.
