Nothing until the holidays and then the price of one cleaning.

I tip the amount of a clean. So if you pay $170. When they come I would give them $340. $170 for the clean and $170 tip.

No. The tipping craze is over the top! I give $50 at Christmas.


This feels about right to me. We do not tip at all for a normal clean and the entire price of an extra clean feels like too much

We have a single person come who works for herself. I pay her in cash every 2 weeks and give her $100 in cash at Christmas.

Though, if it is for a big company, you might want to consider slipping them their own tip, so the company doesn't make them divvy it up.


They’re hired through a company. Thanks for the guidance!

I tip once a year, at the end of the year. I tip the equivalent of one cleaning.

My housekeeper is coming next week, at which point I'll pay her $160 for the cleaning, and separately as a "thank you" - another $160.

I always just did one holiday tip that was equivalent to what I would pay for one service.
