Where the work is
Areas With Available Opportunities
We clean homes in San Francisco and surrounding communities across the Peninsula, East Bay and South Bay.

Day to day
What the Work Involves
The work is residential cleaning: studios, apartments, condos, townhomes and houses. Customers book the services below, and each visit follows an agreed scope and established cleaning standards.
- Standard house cleaning, often on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedule
- Deep cleaning for a more detailed reset
- Move-out and move-in cleaning, usually in empty homes
- Hourly cleaning focused on the customer’s priorities
Customers often aren’t home during a cleaning and leave access instructions, so trustworthiness and careful handling of a home matter as much as cleaning skill.

Compensation
Pay and Compensation Structure

How to Compare Cleaning Pay Figures
| Type of figure | What it measures | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Per hour worked | Earnings for each hour of cleaning | Does travel time between homes count? |
| Per job | A set amount for one cleaning, however long it takes | How long does a typical job of that type take? |
| Gross business revenue | Total billed by an independent business before its costs | What costs, such as supplies, insurance and travel, come out of it? |

Tools of the trade
Equipment and Supplies
Who provides cleaning supplies and equipment is explained during the review, along with the rest of the working arrangement. You don’t need to buy anything to apply. If you already use professional equipment, such as a HEPA vacuum, a microfiber system or specialty floor tools, mention it on the form.
Some customers ask for particular products, for example for pets, allergies or delicate surfaces. Following those requests is part of caring for a home.
