What to show on a cleaning invoice
A cleaning invoice lists the visit dates and what each one covered. Dates and add-ons answer most client questions. The IRS names invoices among the supporting documents that you keep for your books.
| Field | Why it matters on a cleaning job |
|---|---|
| Visit dates | On a recurring plan, one invoice covers several dates. List them. |
| Service type | Name the clean: standard, deep or move-out. |
| Home or office size | It explains the price. |
| Add-ons | Oven, fridge and windows get their own lines. |
| Sales tax line | Texas taxes building cleaning. Ask your own state revenue office about your state. |
| Cancel or lockout policy | Print it, so that a lockout fee is no surprise. |

Cleaning rules that touch the invoice
Tax on cleaning in Texas
The Texas Comptroller says tax is due on cleaning any building. A self-employed housekeeper employed by the household is exempt. Enter the combined rate on the form. Texas Comptroller 94-111
Collect, then remit
Texas also says that maid, janitorial and custodial operators should generally collect sales and use tax. Other states differ, so ask your own revenue office. Texas Comptroller 94-111
No formal education needed
BLS says that janitors and building cleaners typically do not need formal education to enter the occupation. Print a bond or insurance line only if you hold one. BLS
Cleaning invoice questions
Do I send one invoice per visit or one per month?
Either works. A monthly invoice with the dates in the notes means less paper for a recurring client.
How do I bill tips?
Leave tips off the invoice unless the client asks you to add one.
Should I charge when a client locks me out?
If your policy says so and the client saw it. Add a lockout line, and keep the message that shows that you came.
Do I need the square footage on the invoice?
Only if you price by it. For a visit price, write the bedrooms and bathrooms instead.
