How do I find a good house cleaner?

Start by searching online to find the best home cleaning services in your area. After finding potential candidates:

Interview candidates by asking about their experience and laying out your expectations.
Ask about their rates and compare them to others.
Ask about their availability and flexibility.
Look at their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
Make sure a house cleaning company is licensed, bonded, and insured.
Consider doing a background check for individual cleaners that come weekly or monthly.
Ask if their cleaning products are child and pet safe.

After asking questions and comparing candidates, hire the best house cleaning service near you.

Should I hire a professional cleaning service or an individual cleaner?

A private cleaner charges 20% to 50% less than a professional cleaning service, has more scheduling flexibility, and may negotiate rates. However, individual home cleaners are not usually licensed or insured. A house cleaning company has set prices, may require a contract, and may send a different cleaner to your home each time.

For any local house cleaner service, be sure to read reviews from verified customers before hiring.

How much to tip a house cleaner?

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.

Ms. Berninzon was focused, methodical and thorough. She arrived on time, assessed the job — a big move-out cleaning for a three-bedroom house is lived in for six years — and got to work. From her, I learned ways to keep the place I moved into looking and smelling clean and fresh. The place looked so good upon completion, I was reluctant to leave it behind! If I still lived in the Bay Area, I’d happily work with her again!

The cleaning service was exceptional. The team arrived on time, bringing all the necessary supplies and equipment. They worked efficiently and paid attention to every detail, leaving no area untouched. The floors were spotless, surfaces were dust-free, and the bathrooms and kitchen were thoroughly cleaned. I was particularly impressed with their care for delicate items and how organized everything looked afterward. Communication was smooth, and the staff was friendly and professional throughout. Overall, the service exceeded expectations, and I would highly recommend them for anyone seeking a reliable and thorough cleaning experience.
