Holiday house cleaning estimate template
A holiday-cleaning estimate should say which rooms will be ready, what the team will clean and when the work will finish. This example covers an 1,800 sq ft maintenance clean at $0.16 per square foot. Appliance interiors, laundry, dishes and specialist stain treatment are separate unless the customer adds them.
Example: pre-guest maintenance cleaning
1,800 sq ft at $0.16 per sq ft, inside Angi’s September 2026 regular-cleaning range.
Pre-guest regular clean of the agreed rooms: 1,800 square feet × $0.16 = $288.
Total before tax: $288. No deposit. Payment due after the agreed cleaning visit. Late fees: none.

How do you make the guest-ready checklist clear?
List the rooms and the cleaning tasks for each. Put the customer’s priorities first, such as the guest bathroom, dining area and entry, without implying that other quoted rooms will be skipped. Record surfaces or possessions that need special handling and areas the team should leave untouched.
Add the service address, customer contact, business details and estimate reference. For a home with visitors, agree which rooms will be available and when. A named contact should be able to approve a change if the person who booked the clean is away.
Which add-ons should the customer choose before booking?
Keep oven, refrigerator and cabinet interiors, glass, laundry and dishes visible as separate choices. The sample covers reachable dusting, floors, bathrooms and kitchen exterior surfaces. Add a requested task with its allowance and price instead of leaving an open-ended instruction to get the house ready.
For an after-event visit, replace the pre-guest checklist with the agreed reset. Specify trash handling and any linen or dish work. Keep specialist stain treatment and repairs outside the routine cleaning scope until the condition has been assessed and the work priced.
How do you protect the date and the agreed total?
Enter the arrival window, expected completion point and access details. Record the rooms that must be available and how the customer will contact you if plans change. A deadline belongs in the booking; it should not depend on a note buried in an earlier text conversation.
The example is valid for seven days, takes no deposit and is paid after the visit. Replace those editable terms with the booking arrangement you offer. If a special date changes the price, show the accepted total before confirming the appointment and name the work it covers.
Check the final task list, quantity and total before printing. Keep the accepted PDF with the job notes. At completion, tell the customer which agreed tasks were finished and identify any item left for separate work. The invoice can then use the same service description and payment reference.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this for a post-party clean?
Replace the guest-ready task list with the reset you will perform. Name dishes, laundry and trash handling if included, and allow the cleaner-hours they need. Keep the service date and approval point for extra work visible.
How do I quote a smaller budget?
Offer a smaller named scope, such as the kitchen, guest bathroom and entry floors. Show the total for that work and apply your visit minimum. Keep the full-home version separate so the customer can choose the actual service.
What if the customer adds an oven clean on arrival?
Confirm the extra task, time and price before starting it. Check that it fits the agreed finish time. Add the approved change to the estimate or job record so the invoice matches what the customer accepted.
