Why do I need a house cleaner insurance policy?

As a house cleaner, accommodating your clients’ needs (and schedules!) is part of the job. You need insurance coverage that’s there just when you need it, whether that’s five minutes before a last-minute booking or months in advance.

The General Liability insurance arranged by Thimble is designed to respond to incidents involving bodily injury and property damage. For example:

Bodily Injury
You are mopping the kitchen floor in a client’s home. They enter the room and slip on the wet floor, sustaining a back injury.

Property Damage
You are vacuuming a client’s dining room when the cord of the vacuum gets wrapped around an expensive dining chair, toppling the chair and snapping the oak frame.

How much does small business insurance for house cleaners cost?

The cost of your House Cleaner Insurance Policy depends on a few factors. Things like your zip code, your coverage limit, the size of your team, and the length of your coverage all play a factor in determining the risk that comes with insuring your house cleaning business.

With Thimble, you don’t have to commit to long, expensive policies, though. You can access flexible house cleaner insurance through the Thimble app and customize your coverage down to the month, day, or hour. Plus, if you need to add Additional Insureds, you can tack them on to your coverage with Thimble at no extra cost.
