Clodou

Who it's for / Carpet & upholstery cleaning

Carpet cleaning invoices for every room, stair and treatment

Carpet cleaners usually price residential jobs per room or per square foot, with a minimum charge, stairs per step, and add-ons such as pet odor treatment, spot removal and stain protector. Upholstery is priced per piece and area rugs per square foot. Offices, rentals and property managers are often cleaned on a schedule or between tenants and pay on account. Tell Clodou what you cleaned and at what price: it writes the invoice and keeps track of who has paid.

How Clodou helps

Rooms, stairs and add-ons on one invoice

"Invoice Dana Wells: 4 rooms at $45, 14 stairs at $3, pet treatment in 2 rooms at $35 and protector in 4 rooms at $20" writes four lines, $372. Clodou uses your prices; it never measures a room.

Move-outs for property managers

Add each property manager as a client and invoice each unit's clean with the address in the line, or once a month with a line per unit, and their work order number in the note.

Next year's clean, remembered

"Remind me on November 1, 2027 to call Dana Wells about her yearly clean" adds a task linked to the customer. It shows in your morning plan on the day.

How carpet & upholstery cleaning bill, and how Clodou handles it

Per room or per square foot, with a minimum

Residential carpet cleaning is usually priced per room, with a size limit per room, or per square foot, with a minimum charge per visit. Stairs are often priced per step and hallways as a room. Give Clodou the quantity and your price, such as 4 rooms at $45. If your minimum applies, give the minimum as the amount to bill: Clodou never applies one by itself.

Treatments, protector, upholstery and rugs

Pet odor treatment, spot removal and stain protector are usually priced per room or per area, upholstery per piece, such as a sofa or a chair, and area rugs per square foot. Give each its own line at your price. Clodou never adds a treatment or a fee by itself.

Commercial accounts and move-outs

Offices are often cleaned on a schedule at a price per square foot or per visit, and property managers order cleans between tenants. Invoice each visit or unit with the address, or once a month with a line per visit, and set the due date to their terms. A fixed monthly contract can be a retainer that Clodou prepares as a draft each month. Whether cleaning is taxed where you work is for you to check with your accountant.

Questions

How do I make a carpet cleaning invoice?
Tell Clodou the customer, the rooms or square feet, the stairs and any treatments with your prices, such as 4 rooms at $45 and protector in 4 rooms at $20. It finds or adds the customer and writes the invoice with your logo, your business details, the next number in your sequence and your terms. There is no carpet cleaning invoice template to fill in, and if a price is missing, Clodou asks instead of guessing.
Can I price by the square foot?
Yes. Give the square feet and your rate, such as 850 square feet at $0.35, $297.50, and Clodou writes the line. It does not measure rooms, so give the figures you measured.
What should a carpet cleaning invoice describe?
The address, each room or area cleaned, the stairs, each treatment and upholstery piece with its price, the total and the date. Clodou prints each line as you give it, and the note can carry your policy on stains that may not come out.
Can I bill a property manager for many units?
Yes. Add the property manager as the client, invoice each unit's clean with its address, or once a month with a line per unit, and put their work order numbers in the lines or the note.
Does Clodou book cleans or send reminders to customers?
No. Clodou has no booking calendar, route planning, text reminders to customers or photo reports, and it does not take card payments. It reminds you, with a dated task, when a customer is due again. For house and office cleaning, see the page for cleaning businesses.
