Is it normal for a cleaner to use the shower?

So this is a bit random.

Our cleaner came round today, and as I was in the living room I heard the shower on. I didn’t think much of it and assumed maybe she was using it to clean down the bath, as that makes sense I suppose.

Some time later, I come up the stairs and she heads out of the bathroom with a towel on and with wet hair. It’s her own towel. She says “I’ll just get dressed and I’ll clean the bathroom afterwards love” and I was like “no problem” because I didn’t want to be rude.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this a little odd? I wouldn’t care at all if she used the toilet without asking, but why would she use the shower without asking? Have I missed something?
