Do I need to tip Stanley Steemer?

You do not need to tip Stanley Steemer technicians, as tipping is not expected or required for carpet and upholstery cleaning services, though it is appreciated if you are very satisfied with service. Stanley Steemer technicians are paid hourly or salaried employees, not tipped workers like restaurant staff, and company policy does not require tips. Many customers do not tip and that is considered normal. However, if technician did exceptional work, moved heavy furniture, worked in difficult conditions, or provided outstanding customer service, a tip of $10 to $20 per technician or $10 to $20 for whole job is generous way to show appreciation, especially for large jobs or tough stains. You can also show appreciation by leaving positive review, referring friends, or offering cold water. If you choose to tip, cash is preferred and can be given directly to technician. Whether to tip is personal choice, and you should not feel obligated, but if service exceeded expectations, small tip is kind gesture that technicians will appreciate for hard physical labor involved.
