"Well-Paid Maids Sweeps Into The Bay Area"

This ad just appeared in my email box: a cleaning firm with apparently no white employees.* Would you want any of these individuals inside your home?

Significantly, even when you click on for more information about the service, their charges go unmentioned. It's nice that their employees are paid well, but what is the total cost per hour the customer must pay?

*The group includes one Negress complete with dreadlocks; one Oriental woman sporting an entire armful of tattoos; one overweight Hispanic woman; and one Hispanic (or Middle Eastern) man, not smiling.

"Well-Paid Maids Sweeps Into The Bay Area"
"The country's only certified living-wage home cleaning service is now open in Berkeley!
"Thanks for checking out this message that helps keep our work free for all."

Well-Paid Maids is making its debut as the first certified living-wage cleaning company in the Bay Area.
"Berkeleyans are busy, and enlisting the help of a professional home cleaner is a huge time-saver. But it's easy to feel guilty hiring cleaners, who often work long hours for little pay. "Well-Paid Maids is committed to changing the industry.

"founded in the D.C. area in 2017, Well-Paid Maids is a living-wage cleaning company. that means it pays cleaners — who are w-2 employees, not anonymous contractors or temp gig workers — at least $27 an hour in the Bay Area.

"employees are also offered comprehensive benefits, including health, dental and vision insurance, 24 paid days off a year and more.

"and because Well-Paid Maids takes care of its employees, they work hard to take care of you and your home.

"We stand by our company's mission," said Lexi Grant, a manager at Well-Paid Maids. "People deserve for their work to be respected and recognized. When that happens, you love what you do, and you create the best results."

"over 700 clients have left 5-star online reviews of their positive experiences with Well-Paid Maids, noting cleaners arrived on time, were easy to communicate with and left their homes spotless. Plus, they felt good supporting a company that treats employees so well.

"here's what one reviewer said: "Well-Paid Maids has been cleaning my home for more than two years, and I'm continuously grateful for them. they're professional, kind, patient with my animals and do a fantastic job cleaning!"

"after delivering over 30,000 cleanings in the DC area, New York City, and Chicagoland, Well-Paid Maids is excited to now provide home cleaning services across the Bay Area.
