To Tip or Not to Tip?
Should you tip your house cleaner? Maybe you didn’t know that people tipped their cleaning crew. Or, maybe you tip but you don’t really know what the acceptable rate is. We are here to clear up the confusion around tipping your house cleaner!
H&R Cleaning Tipping Policy
At H&R Cleaning, tipping is never required! But, we appreciate everyone who takes time to give to their cleaning technicians. This shows us that you are happy with the service you received and you appreciate our hard working team members. But how much to tip and when?
How Much Do You Tip Your House Cleaners?
You should never feel obligated to tip and the amount to tip is always up to you. We aim to provide cleaning results that you are overjoyed with! Then, you naturally want to tip your cleaners out of pure appreciation. That said, the generally accepted rate among house cleaning services is 10% – 20% of the cost to clean your home.
Do You Tip for Recurring Cleaning Services?
Again, this decision is completely up to you. But, if you feel your team is doing a consistently great job, tipping is a great way to show your appreciation. Our recurring cleaning services can be set up to once a week, every other week, or monthly. You could give every cleaning or once a month, or as is most convenient for you.
Do you Tip for Deep Cleanings and One Time Cleanings?
Our Deep Cleaning services and Move In/Move Out Cleaning services involve a lot of work. We take time to cover areas and details that aren’t covered in our recurring cleanings. There’s heavy moving, scrubbing, polishing, and dusting to really get your space shining. While there are so many benefits to deep cleaning your home, your cleaning team will take a lot of time and energy in these cleanings. So, a tip is a great way to tell them “thank you” and to show them you are happy with their work.
How Do You Tip Multiple Cleaners?
If the generally accepted rate is 10 – 20% of the cost to clean your home, what do you do if you have multiple cleaners? For a single cleaning technician, you would give your full tip to them. For larger houses and bigger jobs, you may have several team members cleaning your home. In this case, you would equally divide the tip between the cleaning technicians. In these instances, we recommend at least a 10% tip.
What About a Christmas Bonus or Once a Year Tip?
If you’d prefer to tip once a year, like around Christmas or the end of the year, that is acceptable as well. If you receive our recurring cleaning service, then you understand how your cleaning technicians become like family. As you build rapport with your team and see that they are consistently doing a great job cleaning your home, a Christmas bonus is a great way to bless your cleaning team.
