"Zachary did a great job. He was very professional, showed up on time and completed everything. He cleaned our gutters, the windows as well as a couple other things that we needed. It is nice to find someone who works hard!"

Although there are no set rules for tipping house cleaners, you may want to consider tipping from 15% to 20% of the cost of house cleaning, or up to 25% if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the cleaner’s policy or preference for tipping.
