What To Write To Your Cleaner: 30 Thank You Messages

What to write to your cleaner

A cleaner sees your house at its worst and never mentions it. The card that lands is the one that names something real rather than thanking them for cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

How much do you tip a cleaner at Christmas in the UK?

The usual convention is one week's usual payment, or the value of a single clean, given with a card. There is no obligation - a card alone is still welcome.

What do you write when a cleaner is leaving?

Name how long they were with you and one thing they always did. Length of service is the detail people remember being thanked for.
