House Cleaner – Average $20–$23/hr Benefits

Grand Forks
Monday–Friday Daytime Hours | No Nights or Weekends | Paid Training | No Experience Required

We’re Not Trying to Hire Everyone.

We’re trying to find the right people.

So instead of writing a job ad that makes everything sound perfect, we’re going to tell you the good and the not-so-good parts of being a professional house cleaner at TLC Cleaning.

The good?

You’ll work Monday through Friday during the day.

You’ll stay active instead of sitting behind a desk.

You’ll have nights and weekends available for your life.

You’ll work independently a lot of the time.

You’ll see the results of your work every single day.

You can earn tips, bonuses and higher performance pay as you improve.

And this isn't a random gig job.

TLC Cleaning offers real benefits, paid training, PTO, insurance, a 401(k), advancement opportunities and the chance to build a career with a growing company.

The not-so-glamorous part?

You're going to clean.

Really clean.

There will be toilets.

There will be showers.

There will be pet hair.

There will occasionally be homes that are dirtier than you expected.

You'll vacuum, mop, scrub, dust, bend, reach and stay on your feet for much of the day.

You may sweat.

You'll drive from one client's home to another.

And we expect you to work at a good pace while still doing a great job.

If you're still interested after reading that, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

What Does a Day at TLC Look Like?

You'll choose to work from one of our service areas:
Grand Forks, ND

You will work within approximately a 30-mile radius of Grand Forks.

During your day, you'll travel to clients' homes and clean using TLC Cleaning's professional systems, products and checklists.

Your day may include:

  • Cleaning bathrooms, toilets, showers and tubs
  • Cleaning kitchens
  • Dusting and wiping surfaces
  • Vacuuming
  • Mopping floors
  • Removing pet hair
  • Cleaning appliance exteriors
  • Spot-cleaning areas throughout the home
  • Bending, reaching, lifting and moving throughout the day
  • Driving between client homes
  • Working independently or with another team member
  • Following TLC's cleaning systems and checklists
  • Communicating with our office when needed
  • Making corrections if something isn't up to our standards

Our clients trust us inside their homes.

We take that responsibility very seriously.

This Is More Than a Gig Job

We believe the people entering our clients' homes deserve to be taken care of too.

That's why TLC Cleaning offers much more than just an hourly paycheck.

Depending on eligibility, our team members can receive:

  • Average earnings of $20–$23/hour through performance pay, tips and bonuses
  • Client tips
  • Performance bonuses
  • Paid training
  • Paid time off
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Company-paid life insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Mileage and fuel reimbursement
  • Employee rewards
  • Employee referral bonuses
  • Opportunities for advancement
  • Monday–Friday daytime schedule
  • No nights
  • No weekends

As you become more efficient and consistently provide excellent work, our performance-pay system gives you the opportunity to earn more.

Great performance should be rewarded.

No Cleaning Experience? That's Okay.

You do not need professional cleaning experience.

We provide paid training and teach you TLC Cleaning's systems.

Some of our strongest employees had never professionally cleaned before they started here.

We can teach you how we clean.

What is much harder to teach is:

Reliability.

Work ethic.

A positive attitude.

Coachability.

Caring about the quality of your work.

If you bring those things, we'll teach you the rest.

Could This Become More Than a Cleaning Job?

Absolutely.

TLC Cleaning is a growing company, and we love promoting people who demonstrate leadership, reliability and strong performance.

Cleaning can be the position you start in.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the position you stay in.

There can be opportunities to grow into training, leadership and other positions as our company continues to grow.

Still Reading?

That's actually a really good sign.

If you read about the toilets...

the physical work...

the driving...

the expectations...

AND the pay, benefits, daytime schedule, independence and opportunities...

“Yep. I could be really good at this.”

We would love to hear from you.
