Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cleaning work order?
A cleaning work order is a dispatch and billing document that tells your cleaning crew what areas to clean, what supplies and equipment to bring, how many hours are budgeted, and what the client is paying.
How do I estimate hours before filling out the cleaning work order?
Use our Free House Cleaning Time Calculator or Janitorial Bidding Calculator to estimate labor hours by square footage and dirtiness level, then plug those hours into this work order.
Should cleaning supplies be billed separately on a work order?
For standard recurring cleans, basic supplies are often built into the hourly rate, while heavy degreasers, floor wax, carpet extraction chemicals, and paper restroom restocks are itemized separately.
