Home Cleaning Agreement FAQs
Is this for one-time or recurring cleaning services?
Both. The template includes a scheduling section where you specify the frequency — one-time, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
What if something gets damaged during cleaning?
The agreement includes a liability clause. We recommend maintaining liability insurance and documenting the condition of the property before starting service.
Can I add specialty services like deep cleaning?
Yes. List additional services and their pricing in the services section. You can also create add-on pricing for occasional deep cleans.
Do I need this if I work through a platform like Thumbtack?
Yes. Platform terms protect the platform, not you. A direct agreement between you and your client provides much stronger legal protection.
