I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but tipping for carpet cleaning?

Yay or nay?

I have two guys from Sears here cleaning my carpets.

I'm already paying $316 for it.

Do I tip them too?

I think you should. I always tip for any labor related expense.

I say $10 each more than covers it.

Thanks everyone.

I tipped them $15 a piece, but only because they were super nice and extra helpful and made sure to hold my hand when I came down off the stairs so I wouldn't fall.

I always tip. I over-tip acutally, but to me it is better than under-tipping.Chat Icon

I would have tipped $10 each or so, too. Can I ask how many rooms they cleaned for $316?
