Frequently asked questions
What’s in it for me?
Want the freedom to set your own schedule and make good money? With us you pick only the rooms you want to clean and when. The hourly base rate on Hsekeeper.com is equivalent to about C$24.50 per hour assuming you clean 14 rooms per 8 hours.
How is the hourly rate determined?
You are actually paid a minimum rate of $14 per verified standard clean room. And there are ways to get higher rates than that. Good cleaners can clean 16 rooms in 8 hours which amounts to a higher hourly rate. Taking dirty rooms at peak times and times when few people want to work will also earn you more, sometimes significantly more. You may not clean a room faster than 17 min. This limit is set to avoid rushed, low quality work.
How do I increase my rate of pay per room?
Working in properties with high certification requirements and working at times when there are too few cleaners available will earn you higher rates per verified clean room. Sometimes significantly higher.
Is there a rating system?
Yes. Properties rate Cleaner Partners for their quality of work and good attitude. Cleaner Partners rate Property Partners for their quality of work environment and attitude. This can be done anonymously. Ratings can be challenged but there is a small fee to do this beyond your “challenge allowance”.
Who provides the cleaning equipment and supplies?
The property provides these. Report to Housekeeping at the beginning of your shift to receive your cart and supplies.
How do I sign up?
Follow the signup link and complete the process there.
What is the process?
You complete an online application. We vet your application which can be quite straightforward if you have verifiable housekeeping references. If you do not have acceptable references the vetting process includes a criminal record check and other background checks. If you are approved we grant you cleaner-candidate status. As a cleaner-candidate, you take the basic training. Once you pass the basic training you gain Cleaner Partner status and start to receive alerts about contract rooms available on the platform.
How do I accept a contract room-day to clean?
This is covered in the training, but its one click to add it to your account.
Can I start working right away?
There are four levels a Hsekeeper can be at on the platform. Once you are at the Approved Hsekeeper or Certified Hsekeeper levels, you can start seeing and being able to accept jobs.

When do I get paid?
Between 25 and 48 hours after your contracted room is verified as clean.
How is a contracted room verified clean?
Once you have completed the steps specified in the training for the room and are satisfied your work is of excellent quality, you mark the room clean in the Hsekeeper app on your smartphone. The property then checks your work and verifies the room as clean. The property has 4 hours to perform this check or the Hsekeeper app marks the room verified clean on their behalf.
