Do you have to tip?

No. Tipping is not required and never expected. Our crews are paid for the work. A tip is a thank-you, not an obligation.

What is normal

Many customers tip $10 to $20 per visit for great work. Some tip more at the holidays. Some never tip and stay customers for years. All of it is fine.

Cash to the crew is simplest. If you are not home, leave it in an envelope with a note. It will find the right hands.

What matters more than tips

Honestly? Three things beat a tip. Clear feedback — tell us what you love so we keep doing it. Steady schedule — regular customers get the best crews. Referrals — send a neighbor our way. That is worth more than any tip.

Holiday tipping

A holiday tip is a kind gesture, not a rule. If your crew has been great all year, a little extra in December says it well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it awkward if I do not tip?

Not at all. Most customers do not tip every visit. The work is the same either way.

Should I tip on a deep clean?

Only if you want to. Deep cleans are bigger jobs, and some customers tip more for them. Entirely your call.

Cash or add it to the payment?

Cash to the crew is best — it goes straight to the people who cleaned. An envelope with a note works when you are out.

What about holiday gifts?

Always welcome, never expected. A card means as much as cash to most crews.
