Where do I leave all the cleaning products for cleaner?

Ok stupid question really. Tomorrow my cleaner is starting and I've never had a cleaner before. She's only doing the kitchen and bathrooms but where do I leave the cleaning stuff and cloths? She will need to use the bathroom cleaner etc in more than one bathroom so don't really know?! At the mo it's all on my kitchen worktop alongside sandwich bags with cloths for different rooms in Blush I literally have no idea what I am doing but she will think I'm crazy so wondered what all you normal people did x

We have a big box in the garage. I showed her where it is and she takes what she needs as she goes. As long as you tell her where it is, it doesn’t matte.

Te the cloths for different rooms, that sounds rather odd. We have a massive pile (about 20-30) that are all washed after every clean. She uses what she wants where as they all start off clean and she is sensible enough herself to not use the same cloth for toilet and sink for example.

I just kept mine in a random box which I left on the side kitchen worktop, with clean cloths. Don’t forget the mop/hoover if they need it, or a note saying where they can find it.

Will you be there when she comes? If not, I’d leave a note with anything specific (e.g we had a certain product for our wooden floor so I left instructions for that), and just keep an eye out when things need replacing.

Bathroom stuff is all in a cupboard in our bathroom. Everything else (including cloths) is under the sink. First time, I left a note telling the cleaner where everything was and what to use (I have bleach for the kitchen sink but hate using it in the toilets for example)

She then used the note to say what she'd struggled with and to ask for a couple of extra things.

Ok great thank you. Yes I admit the cloth thing felt odd as I was arranging it all which is what led me to ask Blush I will probably just leave loads out and see what happens.
