Residential Cleaning Service Agreement Template

Protect your cleaning business and set clear expectations with every residential client.

The Residential Cleaning Service Agreement Template from BusinessKitVault gives cleaning business owners a professional, ready-to-customize agreement for providing cleaning services to homeowners, renters, landlords, and residential property clients.

Whether you offer one-time cleanings, recurring weekly service, biweekly cleaning, monthly service, deep cleaning, or move-in/move-out cleaning, having a written agreement can help define exactly what your business will provide—and what your client is responsible for.

Instead of creating a service agreement from scratch, use this template as a starting point and customize it for your cleaning company.
