A practical starting point for solo cleaners

A cleaning quote template that spells out the work.

Set out what you will clean, what the price includes, what is not included, and when you can do the job. Then check the details against the customer’s actual request.

Copy and adapt

A clear quote starts with the scope.

Replace every bracketed field with details you have confirmed. Do not send a price until you know enough about the home and the requested work to stand behind it.

For [specific work] at [location], my total price is [amount]. That includes [what is included]. It excludes [specific exclusions]. I expect it to take about [duration]. If anything changes the scope or price, I’ll check with you before doing extra work. Would you like to book [date/time]?

This is a sample starting point, not a suggested price or a promise about what every cleaning job requires.

Before you send it

Check the details with the customer.

  1. Work: Name the rooms or tasks in the quote. Confirm the condition and access if they affect the job.
  2. Price: State the total and list what it includes, such as labor or supplies only when those are part of your price.
  3. Exclusions: Call out work that is not included so neither person has to guess.
  4. Time and next step: Give an estimate, explain that you will confirm changes before extra work, and offer a date or time to book.

A template can organize the conversation; it cannot decide your price or verify the job details for you.

More examples and tools

Use a starting structure, then make it yours.

CopyLab includes a customer quote message, a private worksheet for scope and pricing notes, and a local workspace for editing and saving drafts. Review the finished wording before sending it.

A small first step. A useful next tool.
