Cleaning invoices for weekly visits, deep cleans and move-outs

List each visit by date, add extras like inside the oven or fridge, and keep regular clients on a predictable bill.

Cleaning businesses usually bill regular clients per visit, weekly or every other week, and one-off clients for deep cleans or move-out cleans. Pricing might be a flat rate per home, by square footage, or hourly per cleaner, with add-ons like inside appliances, windows or laundry.

The simplest approach for recurring clients is one invoice per billing period that lists each visit date. That way the client sees exactly which cleanings they're paying for, and a skipped week is easy to spot. Commercial clients may also want the service address and a PO number on every invoice.

What cleaners invoice for

  • Recurring residential cleaning

    Bill weekly or biweekly visits at a flat rate per visit, grouped on one invoice for the month.

  • Move-in and move-out cleans

    Price by home size or square footage, with add-ons for inside cabinets, appliances and walls. Landlords and property managers often need these invoiced to them directly.

  • Deep cleans and first visits

    Bill the first visit at a higher rate, since it takes longer to bring a home up to maintenance level.

  • Small office and commercial

    Invoice nightly or weekly janitorial service monthly, with supplies like trash liners or restroom paper as separate lines if you provide them.

What to put on a cleaner invoice

Fields for a cleaner invoice
FieldWhy it matters
Visit datesFor recurring clients, listing each date makes the monthly total easy to check.
Service addressImportant for property managers and clients with more than one home or unit.
Service type and pricing basis"Standard clean, 3 bed / 2 bath, flat rate" or "per sq ft" explains the price without a call.
Add-onsExtras like inside the oven or fridge should be separate lines so the base price stays consistent.
SuppliesIf you bill for supplies or the client's preferred products, list them. Goods may be taxed differently than services.
Cancellation or lockout feeIf your policy charges for same-day cancellations or no access, show it on its own line and reference the policy.

Billing tips

  • Put visit dates in the line descriptions for recurring clients. It prevents most "did you come that week?" questions.
  • Keep your base price fixed and bill extras as add-ons. Clients trust a steady rate.
  • Write down your cancellation and lockout policy before charging for it, and reference it on the invoice line.
  • Save your standard cleans and add-ons as reusable items so a monthly invoice for a regular client takes a minute.
  • For move-out cleans, confirm who pays before you start: the tenant, the landlord or the property manager.

Cleaners: invoicing questions

How should I price cleaning on an invoice: flat, hourly or per square foot?

Flat rate per home is the easiest for recurring residential clients. Per square foot works well for move-outs and commercial spaces. Hourly is common for first-time deep cleans where the condition is unknown. Say which basis you used on the invoice.

Should I send an invoice after every cleaning?

For recurring clients, one invoice per month listing each visit is usually simpler for both sides. For one-time cleans, invoice the same day the work is done.

Do cleaning services charge sales tax?

It depends on the state. Some states tax cleaning services, especially commercial janitorial work, while others don't tax them at all. Check your state's rules or ask an accountant.

How do I keep track of which regular clients have paid?

Send one invoice per client per billing period and mark each one paid when the money arrives. The BePaid app tracks paid, unpaid and overdue invoices and lets you save your standard services as items, which keeps a monthly routine quick.
