There are many different reasons why The Clean Sweep Housekeeping Referral Agency stands out from other employee based agencies, but here are some of the reasons that are important to our clients:

            • The Clean Sweep has over 39 years of experience referring professional housekeepers and other cleaning professionals in Contra Costa County.
            • The turnover among referred domestic workers is very low with our agency; the average housekeeper has been with us for 12+ years, and some even double!
            • We are very specific about the domestics that we choose to refer to you, and all the housekeepers that we refer come highly recommended by someone on our registry. We know each domestic referral and we generally see each of them once a week to review scheduling and check availability.
            • The housekeepers we refer are here to meet your needs, your scheduling availability, and your individual cleaning specifications.

As a referral agency, the housekeepers that we refer are independent domestic workers, meaning that they are not our employees. Furthermore, our job as a referral agency is refer our clients to a housekeeper that will meet their individual needs.


The Clean Sweep Housekeeping Referral Agency is not the employer of the domestic worker referred to you. The domestic worker may be your employee or an independent contractor depending on the relationship that you have with him or her. If you direct and control the manner and means by which the domestic worker performs his or her work you may have employer responsibilities, including employment taxes and workers’ compensation, under state and federal law. For additional information contact your local Employment Development Department and the Internal Revenue Service.

The housekeepers we refer sign a contract with our agency upon registering with us. Entering into a work relationship with you would be a direct violation of this contract. Therefore, the housekeeper would be subject to legal action and all referrals would cease.

Yes, if you call during our regular business hours, someone will always be in the office and ready to assist you in any way.
Monday –Thursday: 8:30-5:00
Friday: 8:30-4:30

The majority of the housekeepers can understand and speak English, although English is not necessarily their first language.

Of course you may, we refer over 20+ domestic workers and we’re confident that we can refer you one who will suit your needs.

As a courtesy, the housekeepers we refer request at least 1 business day’s notice. A last minute cancellation is subject to the total fee of service.

Please notify our agency directly during regular business and not your housekeepers with any cancellation. You can call us at (925) 283-2400. Please keep in mind that scheduled cleaning is income for the housekeepers and notifying us with ample time allows us to find new referrals the housekeepers in order to avoid loss of revenue.

The housekeeper referred to you, if this loss, breakage, or damage occurred during the cleaning.

Cash, check, venmo, or zelle made payable directly to the housekeeper.

You can choose to use your own, or the housekeeper will bring everything for an additional fee of $10-$20.
