Now Hiring in South Central PA
Reliable, honest, detail-oriented? We’d love to hear from you.
Truly Clean is a locally owned cleaning business serving South Central Pennsylvania since 2009. We treat our team well enough that 6 of our 21 cleaners have been with us 7–10+ years.
Why Work at Truly Clean
- Flexible schedule — you choose which days you work. We ask that those days cover both morning and afternoon.
- $16/hour to start plus performance-based bonuses.
- Paid every 2 weeks on Friday via direct deposit.
- Same recurring clients — get to know your route, build a rhythm.
- Work independently after a 1–2 week training period — one home or business at a time.
- Treated like a team member — Jim treats his team the way he’d want to be treated, with respect and kindness.
- Locally owned since 2009. Small enough to know you, established enough to be reliable.
Before applying: please take 5 minutes to skim our Residential and Commercial pages so you know what we do and the standards we hold ourselves to. The conversation goes much faster when you’ve already read the basics.
Open Positions
What you’d do
Clean homes in and around Gettysburg. This role is for someone who lives in or near Gettysburg — we’re building up our client base there and want a cleaner close by rather than driving out from Hanover. You’ll be assigned to a consistent set of recurring clients — same homes, same schedule, week after week. After a 1–2 week training period with one of our experienced cleaners, you’ll work independently.
Schedule
- Monday through Friday only. You must be available weekday mornings and afternoons.
- A 9:00am start is required (some clients prefer an 8:00am start).
- Ideal availability is 9–2, 8–5, or similar.
- 1–5 days a week — you choose which days.
Pay
$16/hour to start, plus performance-based bonuses. 5–25 hours/week, growing as our Gettysburg client base grows. Paid every 2 weeks on Friday, direct deposit.
What we’d need from you
- Reliable transportation
- Willingness to undergo a background check
- Strong attention to detail — we’re flexible on scheduling, but not on how well the work gets done. We communicate our cleaning standards clearly and expect you to follow them.
- Physical ability to dust, vacuum, mop, clean kitchen and baths, wipe baseboards (sometimes on hands and knees), and carry a vacuum up and down stairs
- Smartphone for our timeclock app

Before you apply — please read this part
This is everything we would otherwise go over on the phone. If any of it doesn’t fit, it saves us both a call.
Prefer to read it as an article? The same information is in our post on part-time house cleaning jobs in Hanover and Gettysburg.
This describes our residential cleaning work — homes, during the day. Commercial cleaning runs on completely different hours, usually outside a business’s open hours. If you’re applying for commercial, pick it in the form and we’ll go over the schedule with you.
The hours for residential work, stated plainly
Monday through Friday only. No nights, no weekends.
You must be available weekday mornings and afternoons. A 9:00am start is required, and some clients prefer 8:00am. Ideal availability is 9–2, 8–5, or similar. You choose which days, from one to five.
What we supply
Each cleaner is issued all the cleaning supplies they need, including a vacuum. You don’t bring anything of your own.
What the work actually is
Every visit covers four areas:
Dusting. Cobweb the ceiling corners, chair rail and baseboards, window sills and sash ledges, light fixtures and ceiling fans, everything hanging on the walls, electronics, desks, tables and shelves. Mirrors and glass streak-free.
Bathrooms. Spray down, disinfect and shine: the toilet top to bottom and front to back, the whole shower, tub and shower door, sink, vanity, countertop, faucet and drain, and the fixtures — soap dishes, towel bars, paper holders, waste cans.
Kitchens. Countertops, backsplash, table, major appliances, inside and outside of the microwave, small appliances, and every part of the sink, faucet and drain.
Floors. Vacuum all floors, rugs and stairs, move what can easily be moved, use the wand along edges and under what can’t be moved, then wet-mop the hard floors.
Plus trash, and the glass on the front, storm and patio doors.
What we don’t do
- No wall washing
- No window cleaning
- No carpet shampooing or steaming
- No grout cleaning
- No pet messes
- No housekeeping — no dishes, laundry, bedding or ironing
- No cleaning floors by hand on your hands and knees
What we need from you
- Highly reliable attendance, and punctuality.
- Strong attention to detail. We’re flexible on scheduling and not flexible on how well the work is done. Our standards are written down and we train you on them.
- The ability to work unsupervised. Most of the time it is one cleaner per home.
- Reliable transportation
- The physical ability to dust, vacuum, mop, clean kitchens and baths, wipe baseboards, and carry a vacuum up and down stairs
- Willingness to undergo a background check
- A smartphone for our timeclock and schedule app
