Rental property Cleaning vs Independent Contractor

While going through the initial form, I selected to put my Independent Contractor that Cleans the Rental Property several times a month in-between guests under "Repairs Expense for Rental Real Estate" in "Cleaning & Janitorial Expense". However, I believe that since I provided a 1099-MISC, I should instead 0 the "Cleaning & Janitorial Expense" field out and instead place the costs under "Payments to Independent contractors", however it states it's a "non-rental real estate topic". Is the latter statement the way to go?
