Imagine making well into the four figures every single day.
Well, that’s exactly what Instagrammer Sammi (@sincerely__sammi69) said she made cleaning five homes on Sunday. You see, Sammi charges $300 an hour to clean the homes topless and she broke it all down for us.
“It’s not required to tip, but at the majority of houses that I clean they do tip,” Sammi said.
She noted that two of the homes tipped her $150 and the last one tipped $200. She earned $2,230 for just five hours of work—that includes $730 in tips.
There are some extra expenses that come with being a topless maid; 35% of her money goes to security. She has a detail that sits in the car as she goes into each home “just in case anything happens”.
She explained, “35 percent is $780, but we’re going to go ahead and round that up because he’s amazing. He will be getting $800.” She also added in the caption, “the good ol’ IRS gets a cut too.”
People were agog at how much the guard made.
“Jeez! 35 percent for security? Obviously your safety is priceless but damn!” one person wrote in.
Sammi explained to commenters that thought the 35% was a bit too high, “He talks to me to keep my mental health in check. He deserves every cent.”
She also shared that he is struggling and she agreed to help by paying him 35% of both cost AND tips, noting that he “deserved it”.
Professional cleaners also wondered how she was getting a house clean in only an hour.
“My question as a professional housekeeper… is how do you clean a whole house in 1 hour? Most homes take me 2-3 hours to clean,” one housekeeper asked.
