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.
There are several things to know before hiring a cleaning service to do any work on your home.

Do they have insurance?
Do they offer a guarantee?
Do they bring cleaning supplies and equipment?
Do you need to be home when they clean?
Is there a written contract?
Can they be available for emergencies and how much do they charge?
