What belongs on a cleaning invoice
Four things that decide whether a cleaning invoice gets paid or gets a phone call.
Regular work should be invoiced on a fixed cycle, and the invoice should say which period it covers. “Weekly clean, 4 visits, September” is a line that gets paid; “cleaning” is a line that gets queried.
One-off deep cleans and end-of-tenancy work are a different product from a regular clean and should never appear at the regular rate. The hours are longer, the standard is different, and the customer is usually a landlord rather than the occupier.
Materials are usually yours and usually invisible. If you supply them, say so once on the invoice — it is a reason your figure is higher than the person quoting labour only.
Key holding and access arrangements are worth a line on the first invoice of a contract. It records what was agreed at a time when nobody is arguing.
Where a clean was refused entry or the property was not as agreed, invoice the visit and note why. A cleaner who absorbs a wasted journey to keep the peace teaches the client that a wasted journey is free, and it will happen again next month.
Note the number of hours and the number of cleaners. A team of two for three hours and one cleaner for six are the same figure and a completely different service, and only one of them explains why the house was done before lunch.
The lines in the generator above are real work at plausible quantities, and deliberately carry no prices. A price is a local fact about a local market, and a made-up one would be worse than none.
