Why Do Maids Need Insurance?
Maids face various risks in their line of work, from accidental property damage to unforeseen bodily injuries. Without proper insurance coverage, these risks can result in significant financial losses and legal liabilities for the maid service business. Learn about more common cleaning insurance claims here!

How Much Does Maid Insurance Cost?
Maid insurance starts at just $39 per month, offering comprehensive protection for your business without breaking the bank. It’s a small investment that can save you from costly claims and unexpected expenses down the road.
Getting a personalized quote is easy with our quick, 100% online application. No more long phone calls with an agent — enjoy instant coverage at your convenience!
Save when you choose annual!
Why pay more when you can save? By opting for annual payments, you’ll enjoy up to a 12% discount — saving money while securing a full year of peace of mind. Not only does this reduce your monthly budgeting stress, but it also ensures uninterrupted coverage for your business.
“Signing up was easy. It’ll give any client the comfort of knowing that you have coverage.”
Plus, it’s a good, affordable coverage that covers what I need. I definitely recommend it to people—including my son and those in other industries. I tell them to call Insurance Canopy and get covered, because it’s not overly expensive. When other people in the cleaning industry say they’re not insured, I say, “Why? It’s literally $39 per month.”

What Does Insurance for Maids Cover?
We recommend maids to include several different coverages in their maid insurance policy. Our recommended coverages include:
Included
General Liability Coverage
General liability insurance covers public liability which protects maids from claims related to bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury that may occur during their work. For instance, if a client trips over equipment while the maid is working on-site, general liability insurance can help cover medical expenses and legal costs associated with the incident. However, this coverage does not extend to you or your employees; it only protects clients or the public if they are injured on your property or as a result of your employee’s actions. General Liability also includes Public Liability Insurance for your cleaning business.
Add-Ons
Cyber Liability Coverage
If your maid service faces a cyberattack or data breach, this insurance covers the costs of getting back on your feet, like legal bills, notification expenses, and credit monitoring for affected individuals.
Tools and Equipment Coverage
Tools and equipment coverage, also known as inland marine, provides protection for the valuable equipment used by maids. This insurance steps in when your trusty tools get damaged or stolen while on the job. With this insurance, you can keep your cleaning game strong without worrying about unexpected financial messes.
Janitorial Bonds
Bonds are ‘trust boosters’ for your maid service business. They reassure your clients that you’ll stick to your promises and clean with integrity. If anything goes amiss, like a mishap or a missing item, the janitorial bond steps in to make things right.
Additional Insureds
Adding additional insureds is all about giving extra protection to your clients or landlords, so they feel safe and secure knowing they’re covered under your maid policy. This not only builds trust but also shows that you’ve got everyone’s back, making your business relationships rock-solid.
Workers Compensation Coverage (Coming Soon!)
Your cleaning crew is the heart and soul of your business. If they ever get hurt or sick while working, this insurance steps in to cover their medical bills, lost wages, and even helps with their recovery, ensuring they can scrub, mop, and dust with confidence.
Get notified when workers compensation is available in your state!
What’s Not Covered with Maid Service Insurance?
When considering the best maid insurance, it’s important to be aware of the following exclusions.
- Water removal/extraction, mold remediation, fire, smoke, flood or other disaster services
- Operations involving construction debris removal
- Construction, maintenance, repair, renovation, or property preservation service
- Cleaning of the exterior of buildings and/or power washing other than from the ground level
- Chimney cleaning
How Do I Know What Maid Insurance Coverage I Need?
Here are some tips to help you assess your maid insurance coverage needs based on your business size, equipment, and services offered.
New and Growing Businesses
For new and growing cleaning teams with more frequent client meet-and-greets and moderate risk. Let’s keep those mops spinning! Example: Your small but mighty crew tackling homes and light commercial spots like pros.
- General Liability: $500,000 per incident / $1,000,000 per year.
- Tools and Equipment Insurance: $2,000 per incident / $6,000 per policy year (+$4.58/month).
Established Business
Best for established maid service champions with a big client base and higher stakes. Time to bring out the big guns! Example: A bustling operation with a crew of experts handling properties and complex jobs like a boss.
- General Liability: $1,000,000 per incident / $2,000,000 per year.
- Tools and Equipment Insurance: $5,000 per incident / $10,000 per policy year (+$5.00/month).
Note: Our coverage is available for businesses with payroll under $200K and annual revenue under $1.5M.
Janitorial Bonds
A maid bond provides an additional layer of protection for your clients, ensuring that they are compensated in case of theft or damage caused by your employees. Bonding is sometimes required for commercial or government maid contracts.
You have the option to:
- Include: Adding a bond can enhance your business’s credibility and provide peace of mind to your clients, or if your contract requires it.
- Opt out: If you have a strong reputation and trust with your clients, you might decide not to include a bond.

Got Questions? We’re on it.
Is my maid insurance policy effective immediately?
Yes, it sure is! You get to choose when your maid policy starts while you’re buying it. Coverage kicks in right after you finish your purchase, and you even get a nifty badge to show your maid service is insured!
Can I cancel my maid insurance policy at any time?
You may cancel your maid insurance policy at any time, but there is no money-back guarantee on months that you have already paid for. At Insurance Canopy, once you’re covered, you’re covered—our policies are 100% non-refundable. That means, in general, once your policy starts, you can’t cancel it for a refund. However, there are a few rare exceptions.
The one major exception is if one of our compliance officers decides your business doesn’t meet our policy standards within three business days of purchase. In that case, it’s like your policy never existed, and you’ll get a full refund.
How do I file a maid business claim?
Filing a maid service claim with Insurance Canopy is easy. Here’s what to do:
- Make a Report: If something happens, like theft or property damage, report it to the appropriate authorities. Gather important details such as dates, locations, and contact information for everyone involved.
- Gather Paperwork: Get all the necessary documents ready, like your insurance policy details, receipts for damaged or stolen items, and any incident reports.
- Submit a Claim Online: Log in to your user account, go to the “Manage Policies” section, and click on “File A Claim.” Fill in the required information and submit your claim. Most claims are processed within 24–48 hours.
If you have any questions or need help, our team is here for you. Just reach out!
How do I renew my maid insurance policy?
Renewing your maid insurance with Insurance Canopy is a breeze thanks to our EZ-Renew feature, which automatically renews your policy each year. If you prefer not to use EZ-Renew, you’ll need to fill out a new application to continue your coverage.
As your business grows, our support team is here to help. Need to tweak your coverage limits, shuffle around some coverages, or adapt to new client demands? Just contact our support team, and we’ll ensure your policy grows right alongside your business.
What happens if I have a maid service claim after I cancel my insurance?
If you file a maid service claim after canceling your insurance, it won’t be covered unless your policy remains active for a certain period and the incident happened during that time. Insurance only offers protection while your policy is active, so continuous coverage ensures you’re always protected.
Our team is always ready to help answer your questions. Smile included.
