Some people tip as much as 20% or more, but it’s up to your discretion. Rather than tipping each cleaning session, you can also tip monthly or give the house cleaner a holiday bonus.

Q: How much do house cleaners typically charge per hour?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-house-cleaner.htm">cost to hire a house cleaner</a> is between <b>$30 and $50 per hour</b>. Costs vary depending on house size, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of cleaning you want. Deep cleaning will be more expensive since it requires more time and effort to move furniture and clean hard-to-reach areas compared to a standard cleaning session. </p></div>

Q: How much is the average house cleaner cost?

<div><p>The average house cleaner cost is around <b>$180</b>, which should cover about four hours of work. However, each project is different and costs can range from <b>$100 to $1,000,</b> depending on the house size and the cleaning needed. Other cost factors can include your location and what level of cleaning you want. Standard or basic cleaning may include vacuuming, dusting, and disinfecting the kitchen and bathrooms. Deep cleaning costs about twice as much and often includes cleaning behind and underneath furniture, washing windows, and polishing hard-to-clean surfaces. Emergency cleaning, extreme cleaning, and holidays also impact pricing. Move-in and move-out cleaning typically cost more, too, because of the extensive, whole-house cleaning involved.</p></div>

Q: Should house cleaners be certified or licensed?

<div><p>No, house cleaners do not necessarily need to be certified or licensed. Each state has its own requirements for licensing and certifications for companies, but most states don't require any special training to clean a home. Be sure to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/angi-license-check.htm">check our state licensing tool</a> to review the local house cleaner guidelines.</p></div>
