Free Cleaning Invoice Template

When you’re writing the invoice, include a detailed list of what you provided and how much it cost. The customer then receives this document and knows what they need to pay and by what date.

Here’s what to include on a cleaning invoice:

• Unique invoice number for record-keeping purposes (e.g., Invoice #1001, #1002, etc.) 
• Invoice date of issue and the payment due date
• Cleaning company name, logo, phone number, email, and mailing address
• Client name and contact details, including address of the customer
• Line items with product and service descriptions
• Unit price associated with each line item (labor costs, materials and quantities, hourly rates, overhead costs, any special discounts)
• Subtotal before applicable taxes, discounts, and appropriate fees
• Total cost owed, including applicable taxes and discounts
• Invoice payment terms (payment deadline, instructions, accepted payment methods, late payment fees, any service warranty disclaimers)
• Personal note thanking the customer for choosing your cleaning services

This cleaning invoice template is part of our free Job Toolkit where you can store client information, convert templated cleaning estimates to invoices, and get paid for your work. It’s perfect for cleaning business owners (like you!) who are used to formatting and editing invoices on paper, or in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Excel spreadsheets.

Bill and invoice are two terms for the same thing: a document that presents the amount of money a customer owes for cleaning services.

The difference depends on whether you’re a buyer (customer) or seller (small business owner). Invoice is the term that service providers use, while a client might refer to that invoice as a bill they have to pay. In other words: a service provider sends an invoice to a customer, and the client receives a bill.

Cleaning bills and invoices should include a complete breakdown of all job costs, as well as payment information such as the due date, payment methods, and subtracted deposits.

Send an invoice as soon as you can after the job is complete—ideally, less than 48 hours after finishing the job. Sending invoices late can lead to confusion and delay you from getting paid. Just make sure you and your client agree that the job is done!

Typically, a cleaning invoice should be paid within two weeks of the service date. You can test payment deadlines and see what works best for your cleaning business’s cash flow, but within 30 days is generally the rule of thumb.

Some business owners prefer to accept a deposit beforehand, and final payment the day of the service. You might want to offer financing to your customers to get some payment up front and make your more expensive services more affordable, like carpet cleaning or move-out cleaning.
