Tipping part time cleaner

Hi there,

We have a cleaner that comes to us once a week for 4 hours. I just pay the cleaning company their monthly invoices. However, I wondered recently if I should be giving the cleaner herself a tip. We really like her and I think she's a great match for us - really good on the things that matter to us.

Do you tip part-time cleaners? Generally how much and how often? If it's not too rude to ask!

Thanks
FFx

We have a sweet lady in once a week for 4 hours, her cleaning is OK not the best but quite like her. We leave 20 AED each visit.

AED10-20 per week, plus an AED500 bonus at Christmas and all my old clothes. (I use an agency and have two different cleaners come for 4hrs per week each).

Mine is fabulous (from an agency) and I give her about 20 dhs as a tip. She comes once a week for 4 hours and she is non stop the whole time. <em>edited by MirdifIngrid on 26/01/2011</em>

I tip her 10 dhs, once a week. Plus I give her shedloads of clothes and anything else I would normally give to charity in Canada.

I leave an extra 5 dirhams to round it off for each visit.

i tip mine at the end of the month. i usually round up (her hours differ each week depending on how much of scruff i've been!) so probably about a 50 dh tip.
