How to write a cleaning invoice

A clear invoice gets paid faster and avoids “what was this for?” emails. Whether you clean homes, offices or end-of-tenancy properties, include:

  • Your details: business name, address, email and phone.
  • An invoice number and dates: invoice date and a clear due date.
  • Who and where: the client's name and the address you cleaned, if different.
  • Each service on its own line: the clean, plus extras like ovens, carpets or inside windows.
  • Tax, if it applies: VAT in the UK if you're registered, or sales tax where required in the US.
  • How to pay: bank details, card link or accepted methods, and the reference to use.

Tips to get paid on time

  • Send the invoice the same day as the clean, while the client is happy.
  • Attach before & after photos — proof of the work cuts disputes over the bill.
  • Use short payment terms (7–14 days) and follow up the day after the due date.

Frequently asked questions

What should a cleaning invoice include?

Your business name and contact details, an invoice number, the invoice and due dates, the client's name and the service address, each service with its price, the subtotal, any VAT or sales tax, the total and how to pay.

How do I write an invoice for house cleaning?

List each service on its own line — for example standard clean, oven clean, inside windows — with the date of the clean and the property address, then add the total and your payment details. Use the free template above and save it as a PDF.

Do I need to charge VAT on cleaning?

Only if you're VAT-registered. If you are, show your VAT number and the VAT amount separately. If you're unsure, check with HMRC or an accountant.

Can I use this template for end of tenancy cleaning?

Yes — add each extra (oven, carpets, inside windows) as its own line so the tenant or agent can see exactly what was included.
