What Is a House Cleaning Quote?
A house cleaning quote is a written offer for cleaning a customer’s home. It shows the cleaning level, visit schedule, and price. It also identifies any optional work.
Use a quote when the home, cleaning level, and price are clear. If the first visit reveals a different condition or the customer adds work, revise the quote before the extra cleaning.
How to Create a House Cleaning Quote
Start with the home and the visit you are pricing. A first clean may include detail work that later visits will not need. You can reuse saved customer and service details in Docelf.
- Cleaning Business: Add your business details and the contact the homeowner should use.
- Branding: Add your logo to match invoices and customer emails.
- Customer and Home: Choose the homeowner and add the service address and home details.
- Quote Dates: Check the quote number and issue date. Set a valid-until date.
- Package and Add-Ons: List the base clean and chosen extras with quantities and prices.
- Check the Total: Check that the total covers the intended visit, including any applicable tax.
- Terms and Sending: Add access and booking details in Terms and Conditions. Review, then email, print, or download the quote.
How to Fill In House Cleaning Quote Line Items
Keep the base clean and chosen extras on separate lines. Describe the rooms included in the base price and what the first-visit charge adds. That way, the homeowner can see why the first clean costs more.
This fictional first visit covers a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The homeowner has chosen extra detail work and oven cleaning. Prices are in US dollars; the illustrative 8% tax applies to all three services.
| QTY | Description | Unit Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Standard visit — kitchen, two bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, and mopping | $150.00 | $150.00 |
| 1 | First-visit detail work — baseboards, doors, and extra bathroom buildup | $65.00 | $65.00 |
| 1 | Oven interior — one appliance | $40.00 | $40.00 |
| Subtotal | $255.00 | |
| Sales Tax (8% illustrative) | $20.40 | |
| Quote Total | $275.40 |
The $275.40 total is for this first visit only. In this example, a later standard visit would be $150.00 before applicable tax. Quote its schedule separately so future visits are not added to the first-visit total.
What to Include in House Cleaning Quote Terms
Use Terms and Conditions for the appointment, access arrangements, payment timing, and work outside the package. Include only policies you use. If you charge for cancellations or missed access, check local requirements before adding those terms. This sample belongs to the first-visit offer above.
Example: Terms and Conditions
- Offer valid for 14 days from the quote date. The appointment is confirmed with the homeowner after acceptance.
- Covers one visit to the agreed three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, including the listed first-visit detail work and oven interior.
- Standard supplies and equipment are included. The homeowner provides access and keeps pets away from work areas.
- Interior windows, refrigerator cleaning, laundry, and organization are excluded unless added to a revised quote.
- Payment of $275.40, including tax, is due on completion. Later visits are agreed separately.
What to Include in a House Cleaning Quote
The customer should know what you will clean, how often you will visit, and which requests change the price.
Home and Access Details
Add the service address, home size, and room and bathroom count. Agree on entry and parking arrangements, how pets will be handled, and what happens if the cleaner cannot get in.
Cleaning Package and Tasks
Name the cleaning package and the rooms and tasks included. Note any excluded rooms or condition that changes the work.
Add-Ons and First-Visit Work
Give chosen appliance cleaning and first-visit detail work separate lines. Describe unchosen options outside the total so they do not look included.
Frequency, Price, and Terms
Show the visit schedule and price. Add the supply, cancellation, payment, and acceptance terms that apply.
Choose the Cleaning Level Before You Set the Price
The same home can need a different amount of work from one visit to the next. Name the service level so the homeowner can compare the price with the tasks it covers.
- Standard cleaning: Use a clear task list for routine upkeep. State the visit frequency and what is outside the standard service.
- Deep or first-time cleaning: Price the extra work needed before recurring maintenance begins.
- Move-in or move-out cleaning: Describe the empty-home work and expected condition. Note any hauling or repair cleanup that is excluded.
- Recurring cleaning: Show the price per visit and whether visits are weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. If you quote a whole period, state its visit count. Explain which deeper tasks happen only on selected visits.
Pricing Options for Other House Cleaning Work
For a different job, choose descriptions and pricing units that match the work. These options are a reference, not extra charges to add to the example above.
| Line Item | What It Covers | Common Pricing Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Standard home cleaning | Kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, and mopping for agreed rooms | Flat price per visit |
| First-time deep clean | Additional detail work and buildup removal before recurring service | Fixed add-on or hourly allowance |
| Oven or refrigerator interior | Clean one appliance interior as an optional service | Per appliance |
| Recurring maintenance cleaning | Price for weekly, biweekly, or monthly maintenance | Per visit or billing period |
| Move-out cleaning | Detailed cleaning of an empty home with agreed inclusions | Flat price, by size, or labor hours |

House Cleaning Quote, Estimate, or Invoice?
Use the document that matches how certain the home condition and price are and whether the customer owes payment.
Quote
Send a quote when the home, cleaning level, frequency, and price are clear.
Estimate
Use an estimate when the condition or time required is uncertain. Explain what may change after the first visit.
Invoice
Create an invoice when payment is due. It identifies the visit and cleaning charges being billed.
After You Send the House Cleaning Quote
Check the document history to see when the homeowner opens the emailed quote. They can accept or decline online, and the quote status updates when they respond.
If they add a room or you find extra buildup, agree on the revised work and price before doing it. When payment is due, create the first invoice from the quote and review the copied details. For later visits, duplicate the invoice as a new draft, then update the date and services being billed.

-
How do I price the first clean differently from recurring visits?

-
What should be included in a standard house cleaning quote?
List the rooms included in the visit. Then describe the routine work, such as kitchen and bathroom cleaning. Add floor care on its own line when useful. Also state which detailed or inside-appliance tasks are excluded unless added.

How should I quote cleaning add-ons?
Use separate lines for chosen appliance cleaning or other detailed work. Keep unchosen options outside the total. When the homeowner adds a service, update the quote and ask them to accept the revised price.

State the visit frequency and recurring price. Add the access, cancellation, and rescheduling terms that matter. Explain how extra work will be approved.

How do I invoice later house cleaning visits?
Create the first invoice from the quote. For a later visit, duplicate the invoice to create a new draft with a new number. Update the date, remove any first-clean charges, and check the services before sending.
-
Can I email or download the house cleaning quote?
Yes. Email the quote from Docelf, print a copy, or download a PDF. The homeowner can view and download it without a Docelf account. Creating or editing it does not send it; you choose when to email it.
