I was talking to someone yesterday (bookkeeper, not accountant), and she suggested simply entering it as an expense vs. an equipment purchase, needing to be depreciated.  Her reasoning was, it is not being used as part of the operation of our organization.  Rather, is is being used to simply keep the facility clean.  Kind of like buying a mop and bucket for the floors, except this is for rugs.  As ana animal (cat) rescue, if we were buying cages, or other types of equipment needed for our operations, that would be listed as an equipment purchase.

Any thoughts on this?
