Anothe tipping ????

We are having a cleaning service come in and clean the house today. Do I tip the service? There are four people coming - do I have to tip each one of them? We are going to start using the service bi-weekly, so I don't want to start off on the wrong foot but I also don't want to be paying more then is neccessary. What is the right thing to do????

Thanks!

I dont think you tip the cleaning lady because you are paying for a service. I've ver heard of anyone doing this. Maybe a gift at holidays but that's it.

No, the price they quoted you is the price they expect to be paid. You don't want to start a trend of paying them more! You're good, you don't have to tip.

I asked my mom what she does, since she has a cleaning lady come and she said its $80 but she tips them $20. She said her friend uses the same ladies and doesn't tip them except at the holidays.

I would probably tip 10 each time. My mom goes overboard with that stuff and tipping nothing would feel weird to me, so half-way seems right. Chat Icon
