How much do 1099 cleaning jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 19, 2026, the average hourly pay for 1099 cleaning in the United States is $16.24, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $14.42 and $17.55 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is 1099 cleaning?

A 1099 Cleaning job refers to working as an independent contractor rather than an employee. As a 1099 cleaner, you provide cleaning services on a contract basis, meaning you are responsible for your taxes, supplies, and schedule. This setup offers flexibility but also requires managing your own business expenses and ensuring compliance with tax regulations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in 1099 cleaning?

To thrive as a 1099 Cleaning professional, you need a solid understanding of cleaning techniques, attention to detail, and experience with a wide variety of cleaning equipment and products. Familiarity with specialized tools such as carpet cleaners, floor buffers, and knowledge of safe chemical usage is often required, and relevant certifications (e.g., OSHA safety training) can be advantageous. Strong time management, customer service skills, and the ability to work independently are valuable soft skills in this role. These attributes are important because 1099 cleaning professionals are typically self-employed contractors responsible for delivering high-quality, reliable service to clients with minimal supervision.

What are some common challenges faced by 1099 cleaning professionals?

As a 1099 Cleaning professional, one common challenge is managing your own schedule across multiple clients, which requires strong organizational skills and flexibility. You are responsible for supplying and maintaining your own cleaning equipment and products, which can add complexity to your role. Additionally, as an independent contractor, you’ll need to handle administrative tasks such as invoicing, taxes, and client communications on your own. Despite these challenges, many 1099 cleaners appreciate the independence, flexible hours, and the ability to set their own rates.

Is it worth being a 1099 cleaning?

A 1099 cleaning job involves independent contracting, offering flexibility in schedule and location. However, it typically lacks benefits like health insurance and paid time off, and income can be inconsistent depending on demand and client base. Consider your financial stability and ability to manage taxes when evaluating if it's worth pursuing.

Schedule: Flexible
Service Area: Philadelphia Suburbs, South Jersey & Wilmington, Delaware Area

Join Continental Cleaning

Continental Cleaning is a growing residential cleaning company seeking experienced, dependable, and detail-oriented residential cleaners to join our team.

We are currently hiring for both W-2 employee positions and 1099 independent contractor opportunities, depending on qualifications, experience, availability, and the nature of the working relationship.

This position is intended for experienced residential cleaning professionals. Applicants should have direct experience consistently cleaning residential homes as part of their regular workload. Occasional one-off cleaning jobs or primarily commercial/janitorial experience alone will not be considered equivalent to residential cleaning experience.

We're looking for professionals who understand the expectations of recurring residential clients and know how to consistently deliver a high-quality cleaning experience.

Our Service Area

Continental Cleaning serves customers throughout the Greater Philadelphia suburbs, South Jersey, and the Wilmington, Delaware area.

Our primary service territory includes:

  • Pennsylvania – Philadelphia Suburbs: Montgomery, Bucks, Berks, Delaware, and Chester Counties
  • New Jersey – South Jersey: Communities throughout our South Jersey service territory
  • Delaware: Wilmington and surrounding New Castle County communities

You do not need to work throughout our entire service area. Applicants can indicate the counties and communities they are willing to service. We aim to match cleaners with jobs based on location, availability, qualifications, and customer demand.

Compensation & Perks

  • $25–$35 per hour
  • Weekly direct deposit
  • Keep 100% of customer tips
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Recurring cleaning opportunities
  • Performance bonuses/incentives
  • Select mileage/travel reimbursement
  • Select supply reimbursement
  • Referral opportunities
  • Opportunities for increased earnings as Continental Cleaning grows

What You'll Do

  • Perform high-quality residential cleaning services
  • Provide excellent customer service
  • Arrive on time and prepared for appointments
  • Follow customer preferences and cleaning instructions
  • Maintain exceptional attention to detail
  • Communicate professionally with customers and Continental Cleaning
  • Report damages, problems, or customer concerns promptly
  • Take before/after photos when required
  • Treat every customer's home with care and respect
  • Work independently or alongside other Continental Cleaning professionals depending on the size and requirements of the job
  • Collaborate professionally with other cleaners when assigned to team-based cleaning jobs

Applicants must be comfortable working both independently and as part of a cleaning team. Larger homes, deep cleans, move-in/move-out cleans, and other jobs may require two or more cleaning professionals working together.

What We Provide

✅ Consistent cleaning opportunities

✅ Flexible scheduling

✅ Weekly payments

✅ Customer acquisition and marketing

✅ Booking and scheduling support

✅ Customer service support

✅ Recurring cleaning opportunities

✅ Performance and referral incentives

✅ Select mileage/travel reimbursement

✅ Select supply reimbursement

✅ Opportunities for growth

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is:

  • Experienced specifically in residential/home cleaning
  • Reliable and punctual
  • Professional and friendly
  • Detail-oriented
  • Trustworthy
  • Organized
  • A strong communicator
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Comfortable working alongside other cleaners as part of a team
  • Able to follow established cleaning standards and customer preferences
  • Experienced working with recurring residential clients
  • Comfortable working around pets
  • Able to provide excellent customer service

Experience Requirements

2+ years of residential cleaning experience preferred.

Applicants should have direct, hands-on residential cleaning experience and a history of maintaining a consistent cleaning workload.

Ideal experience includes regularly cleaning multiple residential properties, working with recurring residential clients, working for a residential cleaning company, or operating an established residential cleaning business.

Please apply only if residential cleaning has been a consistent part of your previous work experience rather than occasional or one-off cleaning jobs.

Additional Requirements

  • Reliable transportation
  • Valid driver's license
  • Smartphone and reliable communication
  • Ability to pass a background check
  • Legal authorization to work in the United States
  • Ability to lift approximately 30 lbs.
  • Professional references preferred
  • Ability and willingness to work alongside other cleaning professionals when required

For 1099 independent contractor applicants: Your own cleaning supplies/equipment and appropriate business/general liability insurance may be required.

For W-2 applicants: Applicable employee onboarding, payroll, tax withholding, workers' compensation, equipment/supply arrangements, and other employment requirements will be handled according to the position and applicable law.

Why Continental Cleaning?

We're building a cleaning company where experienced professionals have the opportunity to earn competitive pay, receive consistent work, and grow with the business.

We handle the backend work—including marketing, customer acquisition, scheduling, booking, and customer support—so our cleaning professionals can focus on providing an exceptional experience.

As we grow, top-performing cleaners may have opportunities for more recurring customers, larger jobs, specialty cleaning opportunities, increased responsibility, and greater earning potential.

We're looking for people who want to become reliable, long-term members of our cleaning network and team, not simply pick up an occasional cleaning job.
