"Ron has done an excellent post-construction cleaning of my apartment. There was a lot of dust everywhere -- on the walls, windows, and kitchen. Everything is so clean now: windows, cabinets, floors, and walls are shiny, and the air is fresh. Ron is easy and pleasant to work with and has a high sense of responsibility for his work. I will highly recommend Royale cleaning for your post-construction work. Thank you, Ron!"

"They're always on time. They are reliable. She cleans like your mother cleaned. Wouldn't trade them in for anything. Where else would you find someone to wash your floors on their hands and knees? I recommend her to anyone else I know who is looking for a great cleaning service."

"Excellent service! Bubbles technician did an excellent job of cleaning windows outside, left them sparkling and streak-free on the sunniest of days and did a tremendous job of cleaning customized gutters with non-removable guards in place! I have recommended Jacobo, our service tech for special recognition by Bubbles, and hope that we will be as lucky next time with window washing/gutter cleaning."

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.
