# Free window cleaning invoice template

Window cleaning is counted in panes, not hours. A house is a number of windows inside and out, plus screens, tracks and a few awkward spots on the second story. The template below bills a full house clean on that basis, with a minimum for small jobs and a recurring discount.

Edit it for your own rates, save the PDF and send it before you leave the driveway. No account, nothing uploaded. For storefronts and offices you clean on a schedule, [recurring invoices](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/recurring-invoices) save you retyping the same lines every month.

## What to put on an invoice for window cleaners

- The property address and whether the job covered interior, exterior or both
- Pane counts per floor, because upper floors cost more in time and risk
- Screens, tracks and sills as separate lines when you clean them
- Specialty work such as hard water stains, paint or construction residue removal
- Your minimum service charge for small jobs
- The next visit date and any recurring discount, so the customer sees the plan
- Sales tax, if your state taxes cleaning services

## How window cleaners bill

Residential work is usually priced per pane, with different rates for the first floor, the second floor and the inside. Commercial storefronts are often a flat price per visit or per month. A minimum charge, commonly $100 to $150, makes short stops worth the drive.

Extras are where a window cleaning invoice earns its margin: screens, tracks, hard water stains and hard to reach skylights each deserve their own line. Make recurring customers easy to bill with the same lines every visit, and add a note with the next date. A short reminder from a [payment reminder](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/payment-reminders) takes care of the slow payers.

## Tips to get paid faster

1. Count the panes with the customer before you start and write the number on the invoice. French panes and divided lights count each section, so say how you count.
2. Price the second floor higher in the contract. Ladders and pole work take longer, and you carry the risk.
3. Bill hard water treatment as a separate line. It is slow work and customers rarely expect it to be in the base price.
4. Offer a quarterly or twice a year plan at the bottom of the invoice. Clean windows get dirty again, and you want to be the one they call.
5. Send the invoice within the hour. Weather moves jobs around, and a same day invoice keeps cash coming in.

## Common invoice mistakes

- Quoting a flat price before counting panes, then finding thirty more
- Not charging for screens and tracks you clean anyway
- Forgetting the minimum service charge on a three window job

Your details, the customer and address, pane counts by floor, any extras, the minimum charge if it applied, tax where required and the total due.
