Thanksgiving is around the corner, and it’s time for us to get a little sappy and show our gratitude for you, D.C.!

It’s been over five years since Well-Paid Maids was founded in D.C., and we’ve met some great folks!

Thanks to your support, we’re able to prove our living-wage business model works. We pay our cleaners, who are employees and not contractors, a starting wage of $22 an hour. For context, the median hourly wage for maids and housekeeping cleaners in the D.C. area is $15.44, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Plus, employees get 24 paid days off per year and are offered health, dental, vision and life insurance. We also provide 100% employer-paid commuting costs.

We couldn’t do this without your support, so thank you!

If you’re looking to get your home cleaned before the holidays, go ahead and book your cleaning online.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
