This page covers your pay, how jobs work, what's expected of you on every clean, and the full onboarding process — from application to your first booked job.
You're a 1099 independent contractor, not a CCS employee. You decide how you get each job done — your methods, your pace — but because client experience and reviews are the core of our business, we hold every job to the quality standard below.
You keep the majority of every cleaning fee, plus all of your tips.
Based on the standard client rate ($180) and deep clean rate ($240), at your 60% share. Actual pay varies with home size, add-ons, and travel.
| Jobs / week | Standard cleans only | Deep cleans only | With add-ons |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 jobs | $540 | $720 | $650 – $860 |
| 10 jobs | $1,080 | $1,440 | $1,300 – $1,730 |
| 15 jobs | $1,620 | $2,160 | $1,940 – $2,590 |
| 20 jobs | $2,160 | $2,880 | $2,590 – $3,460 |
Estimates only — for planning purposes, not a guarantee. "With add-ons" reflects jobs that include extras like window cleaning, oven cleaning, or laundry service, which increase your per-job payout. Job volume depends on the availability you set and what you accept.
You're paid out weekly, every Friday, via direct deposit to the bank account on file.
Come prepared with your own supplies. No specific brand is required — if a client prefers their own products be used, you're welcome to use theirs instead.
Broom / Swiffer & dustpan
Vacuum cleaner
All-purpose cleaner
Microfiber cloths
Glass cleaner
Recommended, not mandatory.
You can only pick up commercial cleanings if you carry commercial-grade supplies and equipment. Offices, storefronts, and medical waiting rooms are bigger, dirtier, and held to a higher standard than a home, and household gear will not get you through the job.
At a minimum that means: a commercial or heavy-duty vacuum, a mop and bucket system (not just a Swiffer), an EPA-registered disinfectant, a hard-floor cleaner suited to tile, vinyl, or concrete, restroom and glass cleaners, a full set of microfiber cloths color-coded by area, gloves and eye protection, and your own trash liners. A floor buffer or carpet extractor is a plus for larger contracts.
Send a photo of your commercial setup to contractors@ccscleanpros.com to be cleared for commercial work.
Clients use these three words like they mean one thing. They don't. Knowing the difference, and using the right product for each, is part of doing the job right.
Reference photos, use them to picture the product and the step, not a required brand.
Clean first, then sanitize or disinfect. Wipe the surface with cleaner, then spray your disinfectant and leave it wet for the time the label says before wiping or letting it air dry. Spraying and immediately wiping kills almost nothing, it just spreads the product around.
Where it matters most: bathrooms, toilets and handles, kitchen counters and sinks, light switches, doorknobs, remotes, and anything in a commercial restroom or breakroom.
Bleach plus ammonia, or bleach plus any acid cleaner (like many toilet bowl or tub cleaners), makes a toxic gas that can send you to the hospital. Use one product, rinse, then use the next. If you ever smell something sharp that burns your eyes or throat, leave the room, open windows, and let the air clear.
If this happens on a job, notify CCS immediately so we can notify the client. Do not keep working in the space or try to handle it on your own.
If you pour a cleaner into any other container, that container is called a secondary container, and it has to be labeled. This is an OSHA requirement, not a CCS preference. An unlabeled spray bottle in a client's home is a safety problem and a liability problem.
Label every bottle you pour into, even water. No blank bottles, ever.
Write the product name exactly as it appears on the original bottle
Write the mix: full strength, or how much product to how much water
Write the main hazard words from the original label (irritant, flammable, corrosive)
Write the date you mixed it. Mixed bleach solution is only good for about 24 hours
Use a waterproof marker or printed label, and tape over it so it can't smear off
Never reuse a food or drink container. No water bottles, no milk jugs, no coffee cups
Never put a new product in a bottle that still has the old product's label on it
Keep the original bottle with you so the instructions and warnings are available
Example 1: Bleach Disinfecting Solution — 1/3 cup bleach per 1 gallon water — Corrosive, irritates eyes and skin — Mixed 3/14/26
Example 2: Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner — 1 part product to 10 parts water — May irritate eyes — Mixed 3/14/26
Example 3: Dish Soap & Water — a few drops per gallon — No known hazard — Mixed 3/14/26
Not acceptable: a bottle marked "cleaner," "blue stuff," "bathroom," or nothing at all.
As an independent contractor you are responsible for your own coverage. Insurance is highly recommended for everyone accepting CCS jobs, and required for most commercial contracts.
Accidents happen: a broken vase, a scratched floor, a stain on a rug, a slip on a wet tile. Without coverage, that cost comes out of your pocket. With coverage, it goes to the policy. Insurance also makes you eligible for higher-paying commercial and property-management work, where proof of coverage is usually non-negotiable.
Set your own schedule in the contractor portal, and accept or decline jobs based on what works for you. There's no minimum number of jobs required.
Once a cleaning is confirmed, you must notify CCS at least 24 hours before the scheduled time to cancel or reschedule.
Repeated late cancellations may affect your standing and eligibility for future jobs.
You choose how you get the job done — but every clean needs to meet this bar. Client experience and reviews are the foundation of CCS's reputation, so professionalism and communication matter as much as the clean itself.
All surfaces dusted and wiped down
Floors vacuumed/mopped, no visible debris
Kitchen: counters, sink, stovetop, and appliance exteriors wiped
Bathrooms: toilet, sink, tub/shower, mirrors cleaned and disinfected
Trash emptied, liners replaced
Beds made / linens handled per client instructions, if applicable
Client's home left as found, aside from the cleaning itself — nothing moved or misplaced
No smoking on client property. Arrive on time, or communicate promptly if you're running behind. Be mindful of pets and children in the home. Always treat the client's space and belongings with care.
Client ratings and feedback are tied to your account. Persistent low ratings or complaints can affect your eligibility for future jobs, so treat every clean like it's building your reputation.
Recommended, not a strict uniform — use this as a guide for what’s appropriate on the job.
Clean, presentable polo, t-shirt, or scrubs
Jeans, slacks, khakis, joggers, or knee-length shorts — comfortable is fine, just keep it professional
Closed-toe shoes, always
Hair tied back, no strong perfume/cologne
No visible offensive graphics or language
CCS is insured and bonded, but this coverage applies only to CCS-connected cleanings — it does not cover any independent or outside cleaning work you do on your own.
We recommend carrying your own business insurance for your protection.
You may not solicit your own independent services to clients you were connected with through CCS.
If a client wants to specifically rebook you, that's done through your personalized booking link — not a direct or outside arrangement.
Same-day jobs pay a rush premium and go to whoever claims them first. Because the client is already expecting us that day, the commitment is firm once you accept.
Only claim a same-day job if you can be on site within the posted window
Confirm in the portal within 15 minutes of claiming it
Have your full supplies and equipment ready before you accept
Account must be fully onboarded, background-checked, and in good standing
Message CCS immediately if anything changes, do not contact the client to cancel
Arrive on time and complete the job to the same standard as any scheduled clean
If you claim a same-day cleaning and then cancel it or no-show, your account is suspended for two weeks. The client has already been promised service that day and there is rarely time to re-staff it. Suspension means no job access and no new bookings for 14 days from the incident. A second occurrence may end your contract with CCS.
If a genuine emergency prevents you from making a same-day job, notify CCS as soon as you know, before the appointment window, not after. Documented emergencies are reviewed case by case and may be excused.
Great cleaners bring us great clients. This program pays you real cash bonuses for referring people and businesses who become paying CCS Cleanpros clients, plus a shot at extra prizes each quarter through the referral leaderboard.
Only one bonus is paid per referred client, at the highest tier that applies. If a one-off client later converts to recurring, you're paid the difference between the $25 and $60 bonus.
| Referral type | Bonus | Paid when |
|---|---|---|
| One-off cleaning | $25 | After the referred client's 1st cleaning is completed and paid |
| Recurring client | $60 | After the referred client completes their 3rd cleaning on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly plan |
| Commercial account | $150 | After the referred commercial client signs a contract and their first invoice is collected |
Every referral that earns a bonus also earns you one entry on the quarterly leaderboard. Standings reset at the start of each quarter (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct) and are shared with all cleaners so everyone can see where they stand. Ties are broken by whichever qualifying referral was submitted first.
Open to all active CCS Cleanpros contractors in good standing
The referred client must be new to CCS, with no prior bookings in the last 12 months
Self-referrals do not qualify: cleanings for yourself, family living at your address, or your own side business
The client must mention your name at booking, or you must submit the referral before their first booking is confirmed. Referrals submitted after a booking is made will not be honored
Bonuses are paid as 1099 business-development income, separate from cleaning pay, and are not tied to job performance
CCS reserves the right to adjust bonus amounts or retire the program with 30 days' notice to all cleaners
Use the support contact form on CCSCleanpros.com, choose "Submit a referral," and include the client's name and contact info.
We record the referral and follow the client's booking status.
1st cleaning for one-off, 3rd cleaning for recurring, first invoice for commercial. Paid within 5 business days with your next regular pay.
Leaderboard standings and winners are posted within the first week of the new quarter.
A quick call to get to know you and answer initial questions.
Complete your W-9, ID, and SSN or EIN through Homebase. You must also review, sign, and return the Independent Contractor Service Provider Agreement, this is required before you can receive clients.
We run a standard background check before you're cleared to accept jobs.

Once approved, open your calendar in the contractor portal and start accepting clients.

This Independent Contractor Service Provider Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Corpening Cleaning Services LLC, d/b/a CCS Cleanpros, a Texas business ("Corpening Cleaning Services"), and the individual signing below ("Contractor"), effective as of the date of signature ("Effective Date").
Contractor is engaged as an independent contractor, not as an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of Corpening Cleaning Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create an employment relationship.
Contractor will provide residential and/or commercial cleaning services to clients referred by Corpening Cleaning Services ("Clients"), in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards and any service checklist Corpening Cleaning Services provides for a given Job.
Contractor will be paid according to the compensation structure in effect for Contractor as of the Effective Date, as follows (select and complete the applicable option):
Corpening Cleaning Services will pay Contractor within the pay cycle disclosed to Contractor at onboarding for all completed and Corpening Cleaning Services-approved Jobs. Corpening Cleaning Services may update the standard hourly rate for new contractors going forward; any change to Contractor's own rate requires written notice and, for a rate decrease, Contractor's agreement.
Contractor agrees to:
Contractor is solely responsible for maintaining any insurance required by law or reasonably necessary to cover Contractor's own acts and omissions while performing Jobs, including general liability and, if Contractor engages any helper or subcontractor, appropriate coverage for that individual. Corpening Cleaning Services may request proof of coverage at any time.
Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Corpening Cleaning Services, its owners, and its officers from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs (including attorney's fees) arising from: (a) Contractor's negligent or intentional acts or omissions while performing a Job; (b) Contractor's breach of this Agreement; or (c) Contractor's violation of any applicable law in connection with the Services. Corpening Cleaning Services will promptly notify Contractor of any such claim and Contractor may participate in its defense at Contractor's own expense.
Corpening Cleaning Services invests time and resources identifying, marketing to, and building relationships with Clients. To protect that investment, Contractor agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit or accept work from any Client that Corpening Cleaning Services referred to Contractor, for cleaning or related services performed outside of Corpening Cleaning Services, for as long as Contractor works with Corpening Cleaning Services and for one (1) year after Contractor's relationship with Corpening Cleaning Services ends.
If Contractor breaches this Section, Contractor agrees to pay Corpening Cleaning Services, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (because the actual harm, lost revenue, lost referral value, and the cost of replacing the relationship, is difficult to calculate precisely at the time of this Agreement), an amount equal to the greater of $2,000 or one (1) year of that Client's average annual revenue to Corpening Cleaning Services, per Client solicited in violation of this Section. This is a genuine pre-estimate of Corpening Cleaning Services' likely loss and is not intended to punish Contractor.
This Section does not prevent Contractor from performing cleaning work for clients Contractor independently acquires, who were never referred to Contractor through Corpening Cleaning Services.
Contractor authorizes Corpening Cleaning Services to obtain a background check (which may include criminal history and identity verification) before beginning Jobs and periodically during the relationship, as permitted by applicable law. Contractor will be given any disclosures required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act before a report is requested.
If a dispute arises under this Agreement, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve it through good-faith informal discussion, and if unresolved within thirty (30) days, through mediation with a mutually agreed mediator before either party files a lawsuit. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from bringing a claim in small claims court or seeking emergency injunctive relief to prevent immediate harm (for example, an urgent breach of Section 7).
By signing below, each party acknowledges they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement.
