See the courses

Everything on this page is yours to copy and adapt. The courses cover the decisions behind it: what to charge, what to promise, and what to put in writing.

What yours needs to cover

  • A scope-of-work section that spells out exactly what you clean
  • Pricing and payment terms, including late-payment handling
  • A clear cancellation and rescheduling policy
  • Liability and access clauses that protect both sides
  • Signature blocks for you and the client

How to use it

  1. Fill in your scope of work using the relevant service checklist.
  2. Set your price, payment schedule, and cancellation terms.
  3. Review the liability and access sections so both sides know the rules.
  4. Send it for signature before the first clean, every time.

Cleaning Service Contract Template FAQs

Do I need a contract for cleaning clients?

For recurring and commercial work, yes, a contract prevents disputes and helps you get paid. For one-off jobs, a short service agreement still protects you.

Is this contract legally binding?

A signed agreement between you and your client is binding. For high-value commercial contracts the course suggests having a local professional review your final wording.

Is this a contract I can sign?

No, and no template should be. This page explains the clauses a cleaning contract needs and why each one matters, so you can brief a lawyer cheaply or adapt a local agreement with your eyes open. Contract law differs by country and state.
