What to include on a cleaning invoice
Cleaning clients want to see what was done and when. Write each service on its own line:
- Type of clean: standard, deep clean, move-in/move-out, post-construction, office
- Size of the property or number of hours worked
- Extras: oven, fridge, windows, carpets, laundry
- Supplies if you charge for them
- The service date and address (in the notes or client box)
Invoicing recurring cleaning clients
For weekly or bi-weekly clients you can bill each visit, or send one invoice at the end of the month listing every visit date. Set the quantity to the number of visits and the rate to your price per visit. Your business details are saved, so a monthly invoice takes about a minute.
Tips for cleaning businesses
- Ask for payment on the day of service for one-time cleans.
- Write your cancellation policy in the payment terms.
- Offer a small discount for prepaid monthly plans using the discount field.
