Do You Tip Your House Cleaning Service. How much do you tip for a one time cleaning service? Koropey says that in most cases, you should tip the cost of one week's salary:
You might also include a tip if you’re a real slob or you leave the cleaner with a particularly nasty job, such as cleaning up after your shedding golden retriever. I don't.just once a year bonus (like i do with my mailman). On the other hand, you may hire a house cleaner from a company that has a no tipping policy.
This is how the house cleaner makes a little extra money.
Splitting the tip between them is perfectly acceptable, especially when you consider that they split the work evenly. Most cleaning companies can add a tip to your credit. If you hire a cleaning company, you know that they already included all their expenses and fees in the price you pay. I recently bought a living social deal for house cleaning for $60, half price, for 4 man hours of cleaning, 2 people for 2 hours.
