5 Ways Well-Paid Maids Isn’t Your Average Home Cleaning Company

When you think about hiring a cleaning company, you might grimace. The average cleaning company doesn’t have the best reputation. The industry is known for pushing cleaners to work long hours for little pay.

But Well-Paid Maids isn’t your average cleaning company.

Here’s why:

  1. Well-Paid Maids pays cleaners fair, living wages starting at $23/hour. And the company routinely increases that number to keep up with the high cost of living. The median hourly wage for cleaners in the D.C. area is $17.03.
  2. Well-Paid Maids cleaners are W-2 employees. That means they get access to benefits like paid family and medical leave, workers’ comp and more. The average cleaning company misclassifies cleaners as contractors, which denies them access to these benefits.
  3. Well-Paid Maids gives cleaners a card to pay for commuting costs and supplies. The average cleaning company makes cleaners pay for their own transportation and supplies.
  4. Well-Paid Maids uses green cleaning products to ensure employees’ safety — and your own. The average cleaning company opts for harsh chemicals, which can be hazardous.
  5. Well-Paid Maids believes in giving cleaners flexibility — so much so the founder met with the U.S. Department of Labor to discuss the importance of workplace flexibility. The average cleaning company wants cleaners to complete as many jobs as possible to boost its bottom line.

Want to see the difference for yourself? Well-Paid Maids makes it easy to book your home cleaning online!
