General Liability

Protection for the injuries, accidents and damage you cause

General liability insurance covers a wide range of house cleaning accidents and basic risks. You’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. It’s often required by commercial and residential clients.

general liability can help you pay for:

Medical payments

Property damage

Legal fees and judgments

Contractors’ E&O

Coverage against business mistakes and claims of negligence

Errors and omissions insurance (also known as professional liability) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of using a cleaning solution that damages a client’s tile floor, it could help cover related expenses to defend yourself or redo the job.

professional liability can help you pay for:

Professional negligence (actual or alleged)

Legal defense costs

Legal judgments

Commercial Auto

For business owners who own or drive vehicles

Most states require commercial auto insurance for business-owned vehicles to help pay for medical expenses and property damage. Personal auto insurance usually won’t provide coverage if you accidentally rear end a car with your work vehicle on the way to a client’s home.

commercial auto can help you pay for:

Medical expenses

Collision repairs

Rental reimbursement

Workers' Compensation

For business owners who hire employees

Workers’ compensation insurance can help pay for medical care and lost wages after a workplace injury. It’s almost always required if you have employees. Choose business owner’s coverage with your policy to protect yourself.

Medical expenses

Lost wages

Tools & Equipment

Protection for your gear and equipment

Tools and equipment coverage makes sure your gear is protected wherever you keep it — in your vehicle, in a trailer or at a job site. If you don’t own or lease property and regularly take expensive gear to a job site, tools & equipment insurance offers protection against damage or theft. This coverage is available as an add-on to our general liability insurance.

Repair or replace property you own or rent. Protect your inventory, equipment and even the building that you lease or own.

Frequently asked questions about business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about insurance for home cleaning businesses. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect house cleaning services?

Our affordable maid insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You can be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

You spill a container of bleach and it stains a client’s rug. The general liability coverage in your insurance package could help pay for a replacement.**

Accidents that hurt someone

A client slips on a freshly mopped floor and needs to get medical treatment. Your general liability coverage could also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A crystal vase is scratched when an employee cleans it incorrectly. E&O coverage helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You trip over a mop bucket and hurt your shoulder. Workers’ compensation coverage with business owner’s coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages. Workers’ comp is usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

While driving on icy roads, your work van slides into a ditch and rips off a panel. Commercial auto coverage can help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Theft or damage to your tools

Your cleaning equipment is stolen from your shed while you’re away. The tools and equipment insurance that is optional with your general liability coverage can help pay for replacement and repair costs.

Damage to your own property

A frozen pipe bursts and causes water damage to your office. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
