About hiring a Cleaner in Chennai
Domestic help is the largest category of household work in India and includes cleaners, cooks, full-time live-in maids, and elderly or child caretakers. Chennai, Tamil Nadu (pincode 600001) is a large urban where demand is high and you can usually find someone within a day or two. Based on going rates in metro cities, expect to pay ₹3K–₹6K per month for a cleaner, depending on experience and the specific tasks involved. Most arrangements are part-time, usually a few hours each day. Typical hours: 1–2 hours/day or alternate days. Tamil-speaking workers are common; Hindi is less widespread. On sewakarmi, every cleaner listed in Chennai has uploaded a government ID (Aadhaar) and confirmed their phone number via OTP. Their full name and contact phone are revealed only after you verify your own number — workers stay safe from scrapers, and you stay anonymous until you decide to reach out. Use the search above to refine by role, sort by distance or experience, and reach out directly. There are no agency fees, no middlemen, and no charges for workers.

Frequently asked
How much does a cleaner in Chennai charge?
Going rates are roughly ₹3K–₹6K per month. Actual prices depend on experience, the specific tasks, and your area within Chennai. Workers on sewakarmi list their availability and you negotiate directly — no agency fees.
Should I get police verification before hiring a cleaner?
For full-time or live-in roles, yes — it's a small cost for peace of mind. Visit your local police station with the worker's ID details, or use a service like OnGrid for a quick paid check. For visit-based work (a plumber, electrician, beautician), Aadhaar verification + a verified phone number on sewakarmi is usually enough.
What documents should I check?
Aadhaar card (every worker on sewakarmi has uploaded theirs and we've extracted name + city — but you should physically see it once before hiring). Two recent references with phone numbers. For driver roles, the driving licence and any pending challans. We do NOT show their 12-digit Aadhaar number on the platform — that stays private.
Can I hire a part-time cleaner in Chennai?
Yes — most cleaners in India work part-time, a few hours each day.
How quickly can I find someone in Chennai?
Most matches happen within 1–2 days; supply is plentiful in metro areas.
