How much should I tip a house cleaner?

Short answer

Tipping a house cleaner is optional. Many people tip around 15–20% of the cleaning price, or more for a very dirty home or a great job. On Sudgo you can add a tip in the app after your clean (up to 7 days later), and 100% of it goes to your cleaner.

When people usually tip more

  • A deep clean or move-out clean that took extra work
  • Pet hair, parties or holiday messes
  • Last-minute or ASAP bookings
  • A recurring cleaner you want to keep
