At Well-Paid Maids, we are committed to paying our cleaners, who are W-2 employees, a living wage and providing them comprehensive benefits.
This isn’t a one-and-done effort, though. We continually work hard to ensure our employees are treated fairly. For example, when we started the company in 2017, we paid cleaners a starting wage of $16 an hour. Now? We pay them at least $23 an hour.
And here’s another example: We just added a new paid holiday to our calendar, Labor Day! That means cleaners now get four paid holidays a year — in addition to 20 paid days off per year.
So as our cleaners take the day off to relax this Labor Day, we want to send them a big ‘thank you’ for everything they do. Feel free to do the same down in the comments — and be sure to show your support by booking your next cleaning.
Happy Labor Day, D.C. Enjoy!

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.
