Fill out the form, watch a professional invoice build itself in real time, then download it as a PDF or PNG — or print it — free, right in your browser. Works just as well for maid service, recurring clean, and move-out cleaning invoices.
A typical 2026 house cleaning invoice runs $120–$280 per visit for a standard recurring clean, $180–$400 for a deep clean, and $150–$500 for a move-out clean, with hourly rates of $35–$75 per cleaner and add-ons like inside the oven ($25–$50) or inside the fridge ($20–$40) billed as separate lines. A professional invoice needs your business name and contact info, a unique invoice number, issue and due dates (Net 15 is standard for residential cleaning), itemized line items with quantity and rate, subtotal with any discount and tax, the total due, and accepted payment methods. The free template below generates all of it in the same clean format QuoteIQ customers send every day — fill it out, then download it as a PDF or PNG, or print it. When you’re invoicing more than a few clients a month, QuoteIQ’s invoicing software sends, tracks, and collects them automatically. Plans start at $29.99/mo.

Your invoice is ready
QuoteIQ creates and sends them automatically — it converts estimates to invoices in one tap, tracks what is paid and what is overdue, chases late balances with automatic reminders, and takes card payments on the spot. Invoicing is included on every plan, starting at $29.99/month.
An invoice isn’t just a bill — it’s the document that decides whether you get paid this week or next month, and whether a dispute goes your way. Whether you call it a house cleaning, maid service, recurring clean, or move-out cleaning invoice, the anatomy is the same: your business name and contact info, a unique sequential invoice number, issue and due dates (Net 15 is standard for residential cleaning), itemized line items with quantity and rate, a subtotal with any discount and tax, the total due, and your accepted payment methods plus late-fee terms. The invoice itself is free to build above — but you can’t fill it in until you know your numbers. Here is the typical 2026 U.S. band for the lines a cleaning invoice carries most:
| Service / line item | Typical 2026 charge | Billed as |
|---|---|---|
| Standard recurring clean | $120 – $280 per visit | Per visit |
| Deep clean (first-time / seasonal) | $180 – $400 per visit | Per visit |
| Move-out / move-in clean | $150 – $500 per job | Per job |
| Hourly rate (per cleaner) | $35 – $75 per hour | Per labor hour |
| Add-on: inside the oven | $25 – $50 each | Per add-on |
| Add-on: inside the fridge | $20 – $40 each | Per add-on |
| Add-on: interior windows | $3 – $8 per window | Per window |
Ranges triangulated from 2026 industry pricing guides (HouseCall Pro, HomeGuide, Workiz, Jobber, Angi). Metro markets such as NYC, SF, and LA run 20–40% above these national bands; recurring clients usually book 10–20% below one-time rates.
The margin-killer: quietly folding add-ons into one flat “cleaning — $200” line. Inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, and laundry each cost real labor — bury them and you eat the time for free. List every extra as its own line item and your effective hourly rate stops leaking on exactly the jobs that take longest.
Two habits separate pros from hobbyists: invoice the same day the clean is done (every day you wait adds days to payment), and keep numbering sequential across every customer. Pricing is simple arithmetic — quantity times rate per line, summed into a subtotal, then any discount comes off and sales tax (where your state taxes cleaning services) is applied to what’s left. The template above does that math live; the discipline is on you — or on software. QuoteIQ’s invoicing generates the invoice from the finished job automatically, so day-of invoicing happens without you thinking about it.
The biggest pricing lever in cleaning isn’t the per-visit rate — it’s frequency. A one-time deep clean is a nice $300 day; a biweekly client at $135 a visit is roughly $3,500 a year of predictable revenue and a home that stays easy to clean. Discount recurring visits 10–20% off your one-time rate and you trade a little ticket size for a booked calendar and far less downtime selling the next job.
So price the deep clean honestly (it’s 1.5–2.5x a standard visit because the first clean does the work months of neglect left behind), then convert that client onto a recurring plan with its own line on every invoice. A template works great at five clients; at twenty-five you’re spending Sunday nights copying names, recalculating totals, and trying to remember who paid — and every manual invoice is a chance to forget one. Unsent invoices are the quietest way a cleaning business loses money.
Invoicing is the last step of a system. The estimate wins the job, the schedule gets the crew there, the invoice gets you paid — and when those live in three different apps (or a notebook), things fall through the cracks between them. Inside QuoteIQ the invoice builds itself the moment a clean is marked done, with the customer, line items, and tax already filled, then sends by text or email, accepts card payment online, and chases late payers automatically.
QuoteIQ connects the whole chain: let clients price themselves with self-quoting, send a branded estimate, drop the job on the schedule, and the invoice follows automatically. See the full picture in the house cleaning software overview, or browse all our free tools — the lawn care cost calculator, the pressure washing and tree removal calculators, and the car detailing price list template.
Recurring cleans deserve recurring billing, not retyped invoices. QuoteIQ’s software for house cleaning businesses invoices every visit automatically with card-on-file payment, and the top scheduling software for house cleaning companies keeps weekly and biweekly routes straight.
QuoteIQ generates this exact invoice from the finished clean, sends it by text or email, takes card payment online, and reminds late payers automatically — without leaving QuoteIQ. Plans start at $29.99/mo.

Verified App Store ReviewAdd your business name and contact info, the client’s name and address, a unique invoice number, issue and due dates, itemized line items with quantity and rate for each service performed, then the subtotal, any tax, and the total due — plus your accepted payment methods and late-fee terms. The free template above builds all of it as you type and exports to PDF, PNG, or paper. Send it the same day the clean is done; invoices sent day-of get paid measurably faster than ones batched at month’s end, which is exactly what QuoteIQ’s invoicing software automates.
In 2026 most U.S. cleaners charge $120–$280 per visit for a standard recurring clean, $180–$400 for a deep clean (about 1.5–2.5x a standard visit), and $150–$500 for a move-out clean, with per-cleaner hourly rates of $35–$75. Add-ons such as inside the oven ($25–$50), inside the fridge ($20–$40), and interior windows ($3–$8 each) are billed as separate lines. Major metros run 20–40% higher, and recurring clients typically book 10–20% below one-time rates. Price the job first, then drop those numbers straight into the template above.
A maid service invoice includes everything a house cleaning invoice does — business info, a unique invoice number, issue and due dates, itemized services, subtotal, tax, and total — with the base clean and every add-on broken out as separate line items (standard clean, then inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, laundry, and so on). Keeping extras on their own lines protects your margin and builds client trust, since they see exactly what they paid for. The template above handles it, and QuoteIQ Job Costing tracks labor against each job so you know which cleans actually make money.
For recurring clients, monthly invoicing usually wins: one invoice listing each visit date (e.g., “Biweekly clean x 2 @ $135”) means fewer invoices to send, fewer card-processing fees, and clients who treat cleaning like a subscription instead of a per-visit decision they can skip. Per-visit invoicing fits one-time and irregular work — deep cleans, move-outs, or first-time clients you don’t fully know yet. Whichever you choose, keep the due terms tight (Net 15) and every visit itemized. QuoteIQ’s invoicing batches recurring visits onto one invoice automatically alongside the schedule.
Send the invoice within 48 hours of finishing the clean; the longer an invoice waits, the slower it gets paid. Net 15 is the standard payment term for residential cleaning, while commercial and office accounts often expect Net 30. For recurring weekly or biweekly service, most companies invoice monthly on a fixed date so clients can plan for it. The U.S. Small Business Administration lists slow invoicing as one of the most common cash-flow mistakes small service businesses make, and automatic payment reminders are the simplest fix; QuoteIQ invoicing sends those follow-ups for you.
Five levers, in order of impact: invoice the same day the clean is done; offer card and digital payment (checks add days, sometimes weeks); set Net 15 terms with the due date printed plainly; state a 1–1.5% monthly late fee on every invoice (you’ll rarely charge it — its job is prevention); and send a reminder the day after the due date, not two weeks later. Most slow payment isn’t refusal, it’s friction and forgetting — remove both and average collection time drops sharply. QuoteIQ’s invoicing does all five automatically, including the awkward reminder you keep putting off.
QuoteIQ is the best house cleaning invoice software because the invoice is connected to everything before it: jobs from the schedule become invoices automatically, clients pay by card with online invoicing, and Review Multiplier asks for the Google review once payment clears — all in one app rated 4.7 stars across 4,100+ reviews. Plans start at $29.99/mo, below comparable Jobber and Housecall Pro tiers and a fraction of ServiceTitan. Generic invoice apps make documents; field service software gets you paid.
