When to use this template

Build and revise pricing online, then generate a client-ready quote PDF. Use this when a homeowner, property manager, or business owner requests pricing for cleaning services, after you have visited the site or gathered enough detail to price accurately.

What to include

  • Property details: total square footage, number of rooms/floors, and specific areas to be cleaned (offices, restrooms, kitchens, common areas, windows).
  • Service frequency and type: one-time deep clean, weekly/biweekly recurring, move-in/move-out, or post-construction, with specific tasks for each visit.
  • Supply responsibility: whether you provide all cleaning products and equipment or the client supplies them, and any specialty product charges (green/eco-friendly, hospital-grade disinfectant).
  • Per-visit or monthly price with line items for base cleaning, add-on services (inside fridge, oven, baseboards, interior windows), and frequency discounts.
  • Quote validity period, minimum contract length for recurring service, and cancellation notice requirements.

Common questions

Can I build and revise this Cleaning Quote online before sending it?
Yes. Update scope, quantities, labor, and totals in your browser, then generate a polished Cleaning Quote PDF.
Can I save this Cleaning Quote and reuse it for similar jobs?
Yes. With an account, save it as a baseline, reopen it later, and adjust line items quickly for repeat work.
Can I export this Cleaning Quote with finalized pricing and terms?
Yes. Generate a clean PDF once details are final so clients receive a clear and professional quote.
Should I charge by the hour or by the square foot?
Flat rate per visit based on square footage and scope is better. Hourly pricing penalizes you for being fast and makes customers nervous about padding.
Do I include supplies in the price or charge separately?
Include standard supplies in the price for simplicity. Only charge separately for specialty products the client requests or unusual equipment like floor buffers.
How do I price a first-time deep clean vs. recurring service?
The first deep clean is typically 1.5 to 2 times the recurring rate because initial cleaning takes longer. After that, maintenance visits are faster and cheaper.
Should I offer a walkthrough before quoting?
Yes for any job over a few hundred dollars. Photos help, but a walkthrough catches things photos miss: pet hair levels, grout condition, clutter that slows work.
How do I make my estimates look professional?
Use a structured online form with your company name, itemized pricing, and clear terms. A professional-looking estimate builds trust and makes customers more likely to approve the job.
What if the customer says my price is too high?
A detailed estimate with transparent line items shows exactly what they are paying for. Customers push back less when they can see labor, materials, and overhead broken out clearly.
Should I email or text my estimates?
Always send a formatted PDF rather than a text message. A PDF looks professional, can be printed, and creates a record both sides can reference if there is a dispute.
