What to put in a house cleaning estimate
- 1
The home
Bedrooms, bathrooms and square feet, so you and the client agree on what you are cleaning.
- 2
The type of clean
Standard, deep or move-in/out. With MopQuote’s starting times a deep clean takes 1.75 times as long as a standard one, so say which one you priced.
- 3
A price range
A range leaves room for what you only see on site. The low end is the price for the home as described; the top covers the surprises.
- 4
The time
Hours on site tell the client when you will be done and protect you from a longer job at the same price.
- 5
What’s included and the extras
List what the clean covers, and price extras like the inside of the oven or the fridge separately.
- 6
Schedule and discount
For a recurring client, how often you come and the discount, which starts from the second visit.
- 7
Your cancellation policy
How late the client can cancel without a fee and what a lockout costs, so there is no argument later.
- 8
How to book
“Reply YES to book” turns the estimate into a booking with one word.
Example: a 3 bed / 2 bath estimate
A standard one-time clean at $55 an hour, with MopQuote’s starting times. This is the text the MopQuote app sends in one tap, in English or Spanish.

Estimate, quote, bid or proposal?
Estimate or quote
The price and the time for one home, sent before the first visit. For house cleaning, a text like the one above is enough.
Bid
Your price when a client compares several cleaners. Use the same fields: a price with the time and what’s included is easy to compare.
Proposal
A longer document for offices and other commercial clients, with a scope of work and a contract. Homes rarely need one.

Questions about estimates
Is this cleaning estimate template free?
Yes. Copy the text or download the PDF, with no sign-up and no email. The MopQuote app, which fills in the price and the time from your rate and sends the estimate in one tap, will be a one-time payment with no subscription.
Should I give a price range or one price?
A range works better before you see the home: the low end is the price for the home as described, the top covers what you only see on site. MopQuote sets the top 15% higher, 25% for large homes.
Can I send the estimate by text?
Yes. Copy the template into a message and fill in the blanks, or let the MopQuote app send it in one tap, in English or Spanish, with your price and time already in it.
How do I work out the price for the estimate?
Hours of work times your hourly rate, plus extras. The MopQuote pricing guide has price tables by home size and US hourly rates, and the free calculator does the math for any home.
