FWIW, I always love the sheen of my kitchen appliances and sink after the Maids came (the few times I had them). I asked one of ladies how they get them SO shiny, and she told me that they use baby oil in their final cleaning spray! It does make a huge difference.

As for tipping, since mine usually show up just before lunch, I usually ask them if they'd like pizza for lunch. They usually do, so I give them a special coupon for a free pizza (with everything they want). If not, I give them 15% and also a bonus for the holidays.
