Tipping your airbnb cleaner
Summary
Tipping cleaners is considered a sensitive topic by some, but the speakers support allowing cleaners to ask for tips. They compare the service of cleaning to other personal services like car washing where tipping is common, arguing it is a way to acknowledge a job well done, particularly for individuals on the lower end of the salary scale. However, they emphasize that if you are going to offer a way to tip, you should do so correctly and don't make the appeal to tip come directly from the cleaner.
