Frequently asked questions about cleaning proposal templates

What is a cleaning proposal?

A cleaning proposal is a document submitted by a cleaning services company to a potential client. Its purpose is to convince a potential client to purchase ongoing cleaning and janitorial services, often on a contractual basis.

How do I write a cleaning proposal?

The best cleaning proposals are concise summaries of why your cleaning services company is the best at what you do. They are brief, well-written, and organized into sections for easy reading.

This example cleaning proposal template comes with placeholder copy that's ready to use or switch out with text of your own.

What makes a good cleaning proposal?

A good cleaning services proposal needs to include all the important information your client needs to make an informed decision. In the competitive cleaning industry, timing your proposal delivery well is also an important factor in a deal's chances of success.

Cleaning service proposal must-haves include an attention-grabbing cover, a compelling cover letter, a detailed breakdown of your services, T&Cs to protect your business, and a place for new clients to sign-off on the deal.

Why not just send my cleaning proposal as a PDF?

When you send cleaning proposals in PDF format you're completely in the dark as to how your bid is progressing once it's in your potential clients hands. You have no way of seeing what's going on and you can miss important cues, like when they open your proposal, that can end up costing you the deal.

With online proposal software like Proposify, everything is trackable and recorded. You'll be able to see exactly how your deal is progressing and can follow-up with your potential clients at the right moment to close the deal.

How do I get a janitorial services contract signed?

Esignatures are the modern way to close business. They're secure, legally-binding, and with Proposify, completely free. Every Proposify proposal template includes our free esignature tool.

Can I edit this cleaning proposal template?

Absolutely. All Proposify templates are completely customizable.

How long should a cleaning proposal be?

When we analyzed the millions of proposals in the Proposify database, we found the ideal length for a cleaning services proposal is 10 pages organized into 8 sections.

This example cleaning proposal template includes the sections you'll need to present to your potential client to make your bid as compelling as possible.

How should I structure a cleaning proposal?

First, lead with an impressive cover to catch your prospect's attention. Next, include a short, persuasive introduction letter to remind your potential client why you're the best cleaning company for the job. Go into more detail about your approach and philosophy to cleaning with a compelling about us section. Then include a getting started plan so your new client know what to expect of you and when to expect it. The all-important pricing section needs to have a clear breakdown of your fees. A statement of work contract will protect your business. Finally, include a place for your new client to electronically sign.

How do I send a cleaning to a client?

The speediest, most efficient, and secure way to send a cleaning proposal client is to make sure your bid is online and provide your prospect with a link to the document via email. That way, there's no need to download anything, and definitely no need to wait for the next on-site visit to deliver your proposal.
