Why cleaners stay

A standard that works both ways.

We built Hometress around the people who actually do the work — fair, visible pay, a roster you shape, and a guarantee that has your back.

Background-checked cleaners

Every cleaner Hometress refers clears a background check. Before you accept a visit you see the area, the scope, and what the visit pays.

Pay you can see

The price on the booking screen is what the household pays. Your cut shows before you accept — no quoting, no haggling, no surprises at the door.

Your rhythm, your roster

Choose the visits and cadences that fit your week. Recurring clients build a steady bench; back-ups fill the gaps in between.

Backed, not alone

If a household isn't satisfied, Hometress runs the White Glove quality process — you're not fielding the complaint or chasing the resolution on your own.

How it works

From application to first payout.

  1. Step 01

    Apply

    Share your experience, service areas, and availability. About five minutes. No fee.

  2. Step 02

    Get vetted

    Background check, a short reference call, and a standards walkthrough. We'll tell you where your application stands as it moves.

  3. Step 03

    Build your bench

    Accept recurring visits and back-ups near you. The roster fills week by week, not all at once.

  4. Step 04

    Clean & get paid

    Do the work and log the visit. Your pay for the visit was shown before you accepted it, and payout details are confirmed with you before you start.

Do I qualify?

The floor is refreshingly low.

No franchise fee, no résumé, no buying shared leads. If these five are true, you can apply today — vetting handles the rest.

Recurring visits near home, the pay for each one visible before you accept it, and no quote to write or check to chase. That's the bench Hometress is building for cleaners.

Opening markets

Be the first pro in your city.

Ten cities where Hometress is building a bench and hasn't opened yet. Founding pros set the standard there — and get first claim on the recurring visits when the city goes live.

Each link opens that city's cleaner hub. These are opening markets, not live booking areas — no household is booking there yet.

Common questions

Before you apply.

What do I need to apply?

Experience in residential cleaning, a valid ID, and eligibility to work in the US. That's the floor — vetting does the rest.

How long does vetting take?

It's a background check, a short reference call, and a standards walkthrough. We don't publish a fixed turnaround — we'll tell you where yours stands as it moves.

Do I bring my own supplies?

You can. Households carry a supply allowance, and we'll match you based on what you already use. Most cleaners start with their own kit.

How am I paid?

The household-facing price is set up front, and your pay for a visit is visible before you accept it. Payout method and timing are confirmed with you before your first visit, and tips ride along.

Can I set my own schedule?

Yes. You choose the cadences, areas, and time blocks that fit your week, and you decide which visits to take.

Which cities are you in?

Philadelphia (our home base), Chicago, and Seattle, with more on the way. We onboard near existing benches so your roster fills quickly.
