What types of insurance does a home cleaning business need?

Working inside a client’s home means your business is trusted with both their property and personal space. The most common coverages for home cleaning businesses include: 

  • General Liability – Helps protect against claims if you accidentally damage furniture, flooring, or other household items. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Covers employee injuries such as slips on wet floors or strains from lifting heavy objects. 
  • Commercial Auto Insurance – Covers accidents or damage involving vehicles you use to transport staff, supplies, or equipment to client homes.
