Cleaning jobs and contracts, on your own terms
Hello Cleaners is a cleaning marketplace. You set your rates, choose your service area and accept only the jobs you want. There is no cost to apply and no lead fees — you see the exact payout before you accept.
- No lead fees
- No subscription
- Payout shown before you accept
- You set your rates
About 10 minutes. No cost, no obligation.
What you'll be asked
≈10 minutes- Where you work — the zip codes you will actually drive to
- Which services you offer
- Solo cleaner or crew
- Your availability and your rates
- Right to work, insurance and transport
- Before-and-after photos of previous work (optional)
Why cleaners trust the platform
Who this is for
Three situations, named, because each one needs something different from the platform.
The solo cleaner with a half-full week
You already have four or five regulars and want two more days of work without spending your evenings bidding.
You need job volume in a specific zip code, not a firehose across all 23 states we cover. Set your service area to the neighborhoods you will actually drive to and you only see work inside it.
This is you if…
- You have regulars but gaps in the week
- You want work inside a tight radius
- You are done bidding for leads
The small crew of two to six
You have outgrown word of mouth, you carry insurance and run a van.
Your constraint is a predictable pipeline — the recurring weekly and biweekly contracts that make payroll boring instead of frightening. Crews hold multiple simultaneous bookings and assign them internally.
This is you if…
- You run a registered business
- You need recurring contracts, not one-offs
- You assign jobs to your own team
The specialist
Post-construction, hoarding and heavy-duty, pressure washing, carpet and upholstery.
These jobs pay $180–$750 and most general cleaners will not take them. If this is your work, list only those service types and skip everything else.
This is you if…
- You own the machines the job needs
- You price by damage risk, not by hour
- You want the jobs nobody else accepts
If you are looking for W-2 employment with a fixed hourly wage and a supervisor, this is not that. Everyone on the platform is an independent contractor running their own business.
What the work pays
These are the bands that jobs actually post at on the marketplace — the same numbers published on our city pages and on the customer pricing page.
It is the same job pool: customers pay these prices and your earnings come out of them, before the platform fee.
- Post-constructionSpecialist$300–$750 per job
- Move in / move outResidential$280–$550 per job
- Deep cleanResidential$220–$330 per visit
- Same-day / emergencyResidential$190–$480 per callout
- Pressure washingSpecialist$180–$450 per job
- Standard home cleanResidential$160–$220 per visit
- Commercial / officeCommercial$160–$600 per visit
- After-party / eventResidential$140–$320 per job
- Carpet & upholsterySpecialist$120–$380 per job
- Airbnb / rental turnoverResidential$90–$180 per turnover
- Hourly housekeepingResidential$25–$60 per hour
Market figures adjust the national bands to local posting levels. Gross for your business, before the platform fee and before your own fuel, supplies, insurance and tax.
What moves a job up or down the band
Square footage & bathrooms
The single biggest driver of time on site.
Pet hair
Adds passes on every soft surface.
Level of soiling
How long since the last proper clean.
Add-ons
Inside oven, inside fridge, interior windows, laundry.
Travel distance
Time in the van is unpaid time.
Recurring vs one-off
Recurring books lower but fills the week.
What that means for a week
Two standard cleans a day, five days a week, at the middle of the band is roughly $1,800 gross before the platform fee. Add a deep clean or a move-out and it moves considerably above that. These are gross figures for your business, not take-home: you pay your own fuel, supplies, insurance and tax out of them.
Tips, add-ons and recurring work
Tips and add-ons are yours in full — we take nothing from either. Recurring weekly and biweekly clients usually book at the lower end of a band, but they are the difference between a business and a scramble. Most full-time pros build 60–80% of the week from recurring work.

What we require
We vet on the way in, and we do not hide the criteria.
Right to work in the US
And the ability to operate as an independent contractor or registered business.
A background check
Every pro clears one before going live. Customers are letting a stranger into their home, so this is not negotiable — and it is the single thing that most improves your booking rate.
Basic business or liability insurance
As an independent contractor you carry your own. Most working cleaners already do. If you do not, we can point you at providers; we do not sell it and take no commission on it.
Your own supplies and equipment
Vacuum, mop, cloths, chemicals. Specialists need their own machines.
Reliable transport
To the service area you nominate.
A phone that takes photos
Before-and-after photos on your profile measurably improve how often you get picked.
Real availability
You choose the hours, but the calendar has to be honest. Accepting a job and not turning up is the one thing that gets an account removed.
English sufficient to communicate with customers
By message and in person.
We do not require
- Years of experience
- A company website
- A fleet of vans
- A minimum number of jobs a week
How the platform actually works
- 1
You apply
About ten minutes: who you are, where you work, which services you offer, and photos of previous work if you have them.
- 2
We review and run the background check
If something is missing we come back to you rather than silently rejecting the application.
- 3
You build your profile
Services, rates, service area by zip code, availability and photos. Your rates are yours — we do not set them and we do not undercut them.
- 4
Jobs arrive
Customers book in your area and matching jobs come to you with the address area, the property details, the service requested and the exact payout, shown before you accept. Declining is not penalized; not showing up is.

Your payout$284Illustrative example of the job detail shown before you accept. Payout is the amount paid to you after the platform fee. - 5
You do the job and get paid
Payment runs through the platform, so there is no invoicing the customer and no chasing. The platform fee is a percentage of the job, deducted at payout.
- 6
The review lands on your profile
Reviews are the ranking signal inside the marketplace: a pro with twenty five-star jobs gets offered work ahead of a new account in the same zip code.
Bidding platforms
You pay to contact a customer who may never book, so the incentive is to bid low and bid often.
Here
You are paid for work completed, at your own posted rate. That is the reason there is no race to the bottom on price.
What we take, plainly
A per-job platform fee, deducted at payout. Nothing else, ever.
Customer acquisition
The marketing that generates the jobs you are offered.
Booking and payments
Scheduling, card processing and payout — no invoicing, no chasing.
The review platform
The profile and review history that compounds into better work.
Human support
A person to call when a job goes sideways.
What we never charge
- No joining fee
- No subscription
- No lead charge
- No fee for declining a job
- 100% of tips and add-ons are yours
Pro stories
Real pros, in their own words. We publish these only once a pro has agreed to be named.
We are collecting the first set of pro stories now. We would rather show this space empty than publish a quote we cannot attribute to a working cleaner.
The specifics only someone doing the work knows
- 01
Route density beats rate
Three jobs within two miles at $170 beats two jobs eleven miles apart at $210. When you set your service area, draw it tight first and widen it only when you are not full.
- 02
The first five reviews are the hardest
Take a couple of jobs slightly below your target rate early, do them properly, photograph them. After five strong reviews you can raise your rate and still get picked.
- 03
Move-outs are graded hardest
A deposit is riding on it and someone will inspect it with a flashlight. Budget 30% more time than you think, and photograph every room when you finish.
- 04
Airbnb turnovers are a scheduling business
The clean is easy; the 11am–3pm window is the whole job. Hosts who trust you with a window book you every week.
- 05
Post-construction pays most because it destroys equipment
Fine dust kills domestic vacuums. Price the filter and the machine into the job before you quote it.
- 06
Say no early
Declining a job costs nothing. Accepting one you cannot reach on time costs a review, and reviews are the asset.

Apply, then set your service area to the zip codes you will actually drive to. Matching jobs from customers in that area come to you with the payout shown up front, and you accept the ones that fit your calendar.
Contracts. Everyone on the platform is an independent contractor. You set your rates, choose your jobs and run your own business; we supply the customers, the booking system and the payments.
You set your own rate. Posted work typically runs $25–$60 an hour for housekeeping and $160–$220 for a standard home clean, with deep cleans, move-outs and post-construction paying more. Those are gross figures for your business, before the platform fee and before your own fuel, supplies, insurance and tax.
No. There is no application fee, no subscription and no lead fees. We take a per-job platform fee out of completed work only.
List commercial as one of your services when you apply. Office and commercial work posts at $160–$600 a visit and is usually recurring, so it tends to be offered first to pros with an established review history on the platform.
Yes. Post-construction posts at $300–$750 a job. It is one of the highest-paying categories and one of the least contested, because it needs the right equipment and most general cleaners will not take it.
Yes. As an independent contractor you bring your own supplies, equipment and basic business insurance. Most working cleaners already have these, and we can point you towards providers if you do not.
Yes. Many pros work evenings, weekends or two to three days a week. You block your calendar and only see jobs that fit inside it.
About ten minutes to submit. The review and background check are the longer part. If something is missing we come back to you rather than rejecting silently.
Weekly housekeeping, deep cleans, move-in and move-out cleans, Airbnb turnovers, post-construction, commercial and office work, carpet and upholstery, pressure washing, after-party and same-day jobs. You choose which types you accept.
Apply anyway. You will be told plainly that your area is on the waitlist, and you will be contacted when it opens rather than left in a queue with no status.
Yes. Crews register as a business, hold multiple bookings at once and assign them internally.
