This tool uses your rate — it does not suggest or endorse any price list.

Everything runs locally in your browser. No estimate data, client names, or personal information is sent anywhere — including to analytics.

Fill in the form and press Generate estimate. Your detailed quote will appear here, ready to copy, edit, or print.

How the numbers are built

The estimate starts from a simple, transparent framework — not from a secret price table. You are encouraged to tune every assumption to how your business actually works.

Default time framework used by the estimator
Input Default framework
Residential base1 h + 1.5 h per bedroom + 1.5 h per bathroom
Size adjustment+1 h per 750 sq ft above 1,500 sq ft
Office / commercial0.75 h + 1 h per 500 sq ft
Deep clean× 1.5 on property time (base + size adjustment), not on extras
Move-in / move-out× 1.75 on property time (base + size adjustment), not on extras
Extrasoven 0.75 h · fridge 0.75 h · interior windows 1 h · cabinets 1 h — fixed, never multiplied
Recurring projection4-week month: weekly = 4 visits, every two weeks = 2 visits
Roundingtime rounds up to the next quarter-hour

Multiply the result by your hourly rate and you have a defensible quote. If a 3-bed, 2-bath standard clean takes your team 10 hours instead of 8.5, raise your rate expectation or lower the estimate — the framework is a starting point, and the customer conversation is yours.

We deliberately do not publish "average cleaning prices." Market rates vary by city, insurance, supplies, and crew — any single number we could show would be a guess dressed up as a fact. Your costs are the honest input.

The tools cleaning teams use next

This generator does not import anything into Limpio — the summary above is plain text and yours to paste anywhere. Inside the product, cleaning businesses handle the rest of the job with:

  • 1 Proposals. Create and send quotes to customers from their profile in Limpio.
  • 2 Scheduling. Recurring appointments with automated reminders to your clients.
  • 3 Invoicing and payments. Professional invoices plus a record of what has been paid.

Frequently asked questions

Is the generator really free? Do I need an account?

Free and account-free. The tool runs entirely in your browser — no signup, no email, no data submitted to us or to analytics.

Why doesn't the tool tell me what cleaning "should" cost?

Because any single number would be a guess. Rates depend on your market, insurance, supplies, and crew. The generator estimates the time a job takes and lets you apply your rate.

Can I use it for commercial cleaning quotes?

Yes — choose "Office / commercial clean" and enter the square footage. Commercial work is estimated by area rather than rooms.

What is the difference between this estimate and an invoice?

An estimate proposes a price before the work; an invoice requests payment after it. This generator gives you a text estimate you can send yourself. Limpio separately manages proposals, recurring appointments, and invoicing inside your account.

Can I edit the summary before sending it?

The summary text box is fully editable. Add your own terms, adjust wording, then copy or print it as a PDF from your browser's print dialog.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The layout is mobile-first — many cleaners build quotes from a phone between jobs, which is exactly the situation we designed for.
