I only see this as effective if you see them ahead of time and can pass on that there's an extra $XX in it for you if you really make the place sparkle.

LOL. I really can't understand the tip jars at places that are basically fast food either, why do we have to tip everyone again? Someone help me out.

I didn't.

Huh. We tip our monthly cleaners every time. I thought it was the norm.

No. You don't tip for a single cleaning. Maybe if you have a long time relationship, you'd tip at Christmas.

Seriously with the tipping.....

Yes. Why be cheap?

We did.

I've never heard of anyone tipping their cleaning service, certainly not for a one time clean. If you had a consistent service you might give them something at the holidays, but I'm not even sure how many people do that (unless they use a particular person vs. having a service do it).

Never hired a cleaning service before and it's our plan to have it be this one-time thing before we list our place. Do we tip them?
