Cleaning invoice template for domestic, commercial and end-of-lease cleaners
Cleaners invoice in two very different ways. Regular domestic and commercial clients are usually charged a fixed price per visit and invoiced weekly, fortnightly or monthly, while one-off jobs such as an end-of-lease clean are priced as a package with extras added per room or per item. Chemicals and consumables are normally built into the price rather than listed separately.
Bond cleans are often paid by the tenant but inspected by the property manager, so the property address, the date of the clean and your re-clean guarantee belong on the invoice. Same-day payment on completion is normal for one-off jobs; agencies and strata managers usually pay on 14 or 30 days.

What must be on a tax invoice
The ATO's list. The template lays each one out for you; it is general information, not tax advice.
- The words "Tax invoice" (an invoice without GST can just say "Invoice")
- Your identity: your business or trading name
- Your ABN
- The date the invoice was issued
- A description of what was sold, with the quantity and the price of each item
- The GST amount, shown separately or as "Total includes GST of $X"
- Which items carry GST if some do and some do not
- For sales of $1,000 or more, the buyer's identity or ABN as well
Worth adding for your trade
- The property address and the date of the clean
- A list of what was included, so the agent can tick it off against the exit report
- Your re-clean guarantee window for bond cleans
General information only, not tax advice. Check your own situation with a registered tax agent or the ATO.
Questions about invoicing
Do I charge GST on cleaning?
Only if you are registered for GST, which is required once your turnover reaches $75,000 a year. Registered cleaners add 10% to every taxable line and issue a tax invoice. If you are under the threshold and not registered, switch GST off and the document is titled "Invoice".
Who do I invoice for a bond clean, the tenant or the agent?
Whoever booked and agreed to pay. Usually that is the tenant, with the agent inspecting the result. Put the tenant as the client and the agent and property in the notes. If the agent booked it on the landlord's behalf, invoice the agency and quote the property address.
How do I invoice regular clients?
One invoice per period listing each visit as a line (date and price), or one line with the number of visits as the quantity. FlowFi can set this up as a recurring invoice that sends itself each month.
