What supplies should I have ready when the cleaning lady comes?

I hired a cleaning lady (for the very first time ever) to come 2 days before Thanksgiving to give my house a good cleaning before all the family arrives. I'm not keeping her on as a weekly/monthly service. It's just a one time thing. When I called her, her English was very poor so I had to talk to her daughter to set up the appt. I totally forgot to ask her, what cleaning supplies she'll need from me. I'm sure I have everything already, but I would like to have it all out and ready for her (and make sure I have enough of it) for when she comes. Can anyone provide me with a list of what she'll possibly need?

ETA: I have both hardwood and carpet floors (not sure if that matters). She'll be cleaning 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room

I'm sure whatever you have will be fine. But I provide the following for my cleaning ladies:

All purpose cleaner (like 409)
Murphy's Oil Soap
Windex
Pledge/Endust
Mop & Glo or something for mopping non-wood floors
Toilet bowl cleaner
Soft scrub w/bleach
Silver polish (if necessary)

Make sure you have plenty of rags.

ETA a mop and vacuum cleaner obviously. And a large bucket.

Perfect! This was the exact type of list I was looking for! Thanks so much!
