Tipping house cleaners is not mandatory but is certainly appreciated as a way to show your gratitude for their hard work. The decision to tip largely depends on your personal preference and the level of service provided. If you feel that the cleaner went above and beyond, offering a tip is a nice gesture to acknowledge their effort.
Some clients choose to tip on a regular basis, such as after each cleaning, while others may tip occasionally or during special occasions like holidays. The amount can vary, but a common range is 10-20% of the cleaning cost. You can also opt to offer a flat amount, such as $10 to $20 per cleaner.
It’s important to note that tipping policies can vary depending on the company. At Castle Keepers, while tips are always appreciated, they are not expected. Our cleaners are paid fairly, so you can rest assured that they are well-compensated for their work even if you choose not to tip.
