What's included in a home cleaning service?

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.

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

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.

10/10 would use these guys again! They were on time and well prepared with their own cleaning supplies! That was really helpful since I had all my stuff packed up. They did a deep clean of the place I was moving Into and were very thorough. They did light fixtures, appliances, moved everything, ceilings, floors, windows, and so much more! They also provided great conversation which made the experience that much better. My boyfriend and I will definitely be using them again soon and we were very impressed with everything they did!

From the very fist service I got with them I felt confident I had found someone I felt comfortable enough to be our regular cleaner. They responded quickly to our request for price quote and gave us a fair price for 2 bedrooms, large living room, large dining room, kitchen, and 1 bathrooms. With COVID-19, spending so much time at home with the kids, well you can imagine what our house looked like. They did an outstanding job and continue to do so every two week when they come. Everyone wear masks and gloves the whole time which is a relief during these times.
