Start for FreeHow to Write a Cleaning Estimate
Cleaning estimates should clearly define the scope of work so customers know exactly what they are getting. Walk through the property to assess size, condition, and any special requirements before quoting. A quick walkthrough prevents underpricing and sets realistic expectations.
Break your estimate into specific tasks or areas rather than a single "cleaning" line item. Customers value transparency — listing kitchen deep cleaning, bathroom sanitizing, and floor mopping separately shows professionalism and justifies your price.
For recurring cleaning services, offer tiered pricing: a higher rate for the initial deep clean and a lower rate for regular maintenance visits. This is standard in the cleaning industry and makes the ongoing service feel like a better value.
Account for the number of cleaners and hours needed for each job. A 3-bedroom home typically takes one cleaner 3–4 hours or a team of two about 2 hours. Your pricing should reflect your actual labor costs plus supplies, overhead, and profit.
Include notes about your supplies policy. Most professional cleaning services bring their own supplies and equipment, but some customers have preferences about specific products, especially for eco-friendly or allergen-free cleaning. Address this upfront.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What should a cleaning estimate include?
- A cleaning estimate should include a detailed scope of work (rooms and tasks), frequency of service, number of cleaners assigned, estimated time, supplies included, any exclusions (windows, ovens, laundry), pricing, and cancellation terms.
- How do cleaning companies price their services?
- Cleaning is priced per visit (flat rate based on home size), per hour ($25–$50/cleaner/hour), or per square foot. Most companies use flat rates for residential and per-hour rates for commercial. Factor in supplies, drive time, and overhead.
- Should cleaning estimates include supply costs?
- Most professional cleaning companies include supplies in their pricing. If you use the customer's products, note that in the estimate. For specialty services (carpet cleaning, pressure washing), equipment costs should be factored into the price.
- How do I price a deep cleaning vs. regular cleaning?
- Deep cleaning typically costs 2–3 times more than a regular cleaning due to additional tasks like scrubbing grout, cleaning inside appliances, and washing baseboards. Price it separately as a one-time service before starting recurring maintenance cleaning.
