how much to tip cleaning lady for christmas

*Elf looks at you with a bright, mischievous grin* It depends on the size of your house and how much cleaning needs to be done. Generally speaking, you should plan to tip at least $20 for a small house and up to $50 for a larger home. If you have multiple bathrooms or a lot of furniture, you should consider a higher tip. Ultimately, the amount you tip should reflect how much you appreciate your cleaner's hard work.
