About the template
What this cleaner quote template covers and why it wins more work
Cleaning quotes lose work when supplies are absorbed into 'general clean' and the staff travel cost is invisible. A homeowner choosing between three quotes for a one-time deep clean picks the one that lists the rooms covered, the extras (oven, fridge, windows), and the supplies line as separate items, because it reads as itemised and trustworthy.
The template below itemises a general deep clean by room count, oven and range hood as a separate extra, fridge and freezer as a separate extra, interior windows and sills, baseboards and door frame wipe-down, supplies, and a staff travel levy. Each visible line means a client cannot say 'I thought windows were included' three days after the job.
What to include
Every cleaners quote should have these lines
Use it as a checklist when you build your quote from scratch, or pull the QuoteGenio template that already has them.

Common mistakes on cleaners quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Vague 'general clean' scope
Better: List the rooms by count: '3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, lounge'. Set expectations on what is and is not included.
Mistake: Oven and fridge bundled into the main clean
Better: Show oven, range hood, fridge, and freezer as separate extras. Each is real labour. Bundling them means low-margin one-off cleans become loss-makers when the oven needs an hour of degreaser.
Mistake: Supplies absorbed into labour
Better: Show 'Supplies: $ 20' as its own line. Cleaning chemicals and consumables are real cost. Visible, they justify the price. Hidden, they hurt your margin.
Mistake: No minimum visit charge on recurring contracts
Better: If a maintenance clean takes 90 minutes including travel, the per-hour rate alone will not cover it. Set a minimum charge ($ 95 to $ 180) for short visits.
Mistake: No staff travel levy for distant properties
Better: Properties outside your standard radius should pay a travel levy. Itemise it so the client sees the cost. Properties inside the radius do not pay; outside, they do.
Mistake: No end-of-tenancy scope statement
Better: End-of-tenancy cleans need a tighter scope (deposit-back standard). Itemise inside cupboards, behind appliances, oven interior, window tracks. Vague scope loses deposit-back disputes.
FAQ
Cleaners quote template questions
Everything cleaners ask before they switch to a structured quote.
Rooms covered, extras as separate lines (oven, fridge, windows), supplies, staff travel levy if applicable, minimum visit clause on recurring work, tax line where relevant, and banking details.
14 days is plenty for cleaning. Prices are stable and most clients book within a week of receiving the quote.
Usually not for residential one-time cleans (paid on completion). For end-of-tenancy or move-out cleans, 30 percent deposit on acceptance protects you against cancellation. State it in the quote.
List number of visits per month or week, scope per visit (vacuum, mop, surfaces, bathrooms), extras and frequency (oven monthly, windows quarterly), and the minimum visit charge. Detailed contracts renew at over 80 percent.
Yes for properties outside your standard radius (typically 15 to 20 km). State the radius in your terms and the levy ($ 25 to $ 65 depending on distance). Properties inside pay no levy.
Quote tighter than a deep clean: inside cupboards, behind appliances, oven interior, window tracks, light fittings. State that the scope is deposit-back standard. Higher rate than a general clean because the bar is higher.
