Cleaning work is often recurring — weekly offices, fortnightly homes, end-of-tenancy one-offs — so the real win is invoicing on a predictable schedule that gets you paid without chasing. Here’s how to set it up.
Per-visit, hourly or monthly
Decide how you bill: a fixed price per visit, an hourly rate, or a monthly amount for a set schedule. For recurring clients, a single monthly invoice listing each visit (or a flat monthly fee) is usually cleanest.
What to itemise
Show the service and dates (e.g. “Office clean — 4 visits in October”), any extras like carpet or window cleaning as separate lines, and supplies if you bill them. Note the property or site so multi-site clients can match invoices.
Terms and tax
Keep terms short and consistent (Net 7 or Net 14 works well for recurring work), send the invoice on the same day each cycle, and make payment easy. Apply sales tax, VAT or GST depending on your country and registration.
