The sample reflects one month for a weekly client: four standard visits, a one-off oven and fridge add-on, interior windows and a supplies charge. If you bill per hour instead, change the quantities to hours and the description to show the number of cleaners. Note your lockout or same-day cancellation fee in the terms, since arriving to a locked house costs you a booking.
Invoicing tips for house cleaners
- Price add-ons such as inside appliances, laundry or interior windows separately so recurring clients see when a visit exceeded the standard scope.
- Charge a lockout or late-cancellation fee, often a portion of the visit price, and state it on every invoice.
- Bill move-out and post-construction cleans as their own job type with a higher rate, since they take far longer than maintenance cleans.
- Offer card-on-file or automatic payment for weekly clients to avoid chasing small invoices every week.

FAQ
Should I invoice cleaning clients weekly or monthly?
For weekly or biweekly clients, monthly invoicing with each visit listed reduces admin, though some cleaners prefer payment at each visit to protect cash flow. One-off deep cleans and move-out cleans are usually paid on completion. Whatever you choose, keep the visit dates on the invoice so clients can confirm each service.
Do I charge extra if I bring my own supplies?
Many cleaners build supplies into their rate, while others add a small flat supplies fee per visit. If a client requests specific eco-friendly or specialty products, it's reasonable to bill them at cost or with a small markup. If you use the client's own products, note that on the invoice for clarity.
How do I price a deep clean on an invoice?
Quote deep cleans as a flat job price based on home size and condition, or by the hour with an estimated range. On the invoice, describe the scope, such as baseboards, inside cabinets and appliances, so clients understand why it costs more than a standard visit. This also sets expectations for future maintenance cleans.
