Loves Cleaning Services - Residential House cleaning service - Twin Falls Idaho

Keeping a house clean and tidy is a constant struggle, especially in homes with children and pets where vacuuming can be a daily chore to get rid of the hair, the dirt, and the crumbs. Even in child- and pet-free homes, rooms such as the bathroom and kitchen can quickly turn into germ-infestekc@yews.com.aud spaces if left uncleaned. The best cleaning services can handle small tasks or full-service deep cleaning to get rid of grime that’s built up over the weeks, months, or years. But perhaps most importantly, hiring a professional cleaning service gives customers a chance to spend more time on things that matter most to them.

This is sometimes referred to as a vacancy cleaning service. It’s no secret that moving can be stressful. Hiring professionals for a deep clean before moving in can reduce the stress of moving.

In this guide, we are going to review etiquette for tipping your help around the house. There are different schools of thought here, so the answer is "It Depends".

A basic house cleaning consists of washing sinks, toilets, showers, baths, mirrors, wiping countertops, wiping cabinets and appliances, mopping floors, sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, emptying trash, making the beds, washing and putting away dishes, and light organizing.

In general, regardless of the approach you take, right now the expectations tend to be based on whether or not the service is recurring. If you book a recurring service, the expecation is that tipping is not required, and an end of year bonus of about $100 is appreciated. For one time services, the expectations are that you do tip for cleaning.

In general, tipping your house cleaner is not as crucial as tipping your waiter or waitress. However, many agencies pay only minimum wage, and their Home Cleaners depend on tips to earn extra money. If using an agency, go ahead and ask them for guidance on tipping. In the wake of COVID, tipping expectations have increased to about 15-25%.

Add-on services that cost extra may include cleaning the refrigerator, oven, windows, cabinet interiors, and doing the laundry.

Tipping $10 to $20 per cleaning or 10% to 15% of the total cost is greatly appreciated if the cleaner did a great job. However, cleaners are not expecting gratuity.

That being said, if you do choose to tip, a good rule of thumb is to give 15-20% of the total cost of the cleaning service. So, if your deep clean costs $200, a 15-20% tip would be between $30 and $40. This range is based on the assumption that your cleaner did a thorough job and met your expectations.
