Do you tip a maid/house cleaner?

Trust me when I say that I have never had a maid, mostly because of $$$$, and because I'm afraid I'll become addicted BUT....we are getting ready to sell our house and move to Fort Collins so I can end my 52-mile-each-way commute! I know there is no way for me to stay completly on top of the cleaning with school, and am looking at getting someone to help me out every other week--like merry maids, etc. --which will hopefully help me maintain some sanity!

So my question is: When they quote me a price, do I tip on top of this? And if so, how much?

Any other advice (I know there are many people on these boards that swear by cleaning services , one of the reasons I'm willing to give it a try)?

TIA

We have two women who clean our house every other week.

I only tip them at Christmas; otherwise, I pay their rate and I guess they split it.

FYI, the two of them spend about 3.5 hours at my house. They vacuum, dust, clean the bathrooms, wash the hardwood floors, and make the beds if they happen to be unmade I pay them $80 each time they come.
