Two out of every three customers say they prefer cleaning their homes before the maid service comes to do it. You can choose to do it or not. It is important to tidy up your home because the last thing you want is to pay the maid service to pick up socks and toys. You should make their work easier by doing simpler tasks and letting them focus on tougher ones like washing the floors, cleaning the bathrooms, and dusting the shelves.

Do I need to hide valuables?

If you have done your homework and hired a maid service you can trust, you don’t have to worry too much about your belongings. But it is a good idea to put away expensive items or even those you consider important to you. Put them somewhere safe to reduce the risks of accidents. When booking, make sure you let us know the stuff you don’t want to be dusted or touched.

Is it weird to be home when the maid service is cleaning?

This is up to you, but you should plan to be out when the maid service is cleaning your home. Provide the maid service with information like how they can safely enter your home when you are not around. You should provide the information and priorities when booking the service so that it can be transcribed in the work order. With time, it gets let weird when the maid service comes to clean.

Should I tip?

You are the one to decide whether to tip or not. Giving a tip is a way of telling your house cleaning specialists that they did a good job and you appreciate it. 10-15% of the cost of service is a good percentage to tip. To make tipping easier, find out the number of maids coming to clean your home. You also need to find out whether there is a lead maid. It is a good idea to tip the lead professional a little more because they are the ones assigning tasks and ensuring everything is being done correctly. If you are out of change, leave it to the lead maid to distribute the tip. If it is more than one maid, you should not leave one gift because it can be hard to split it.
