Free House Cleaner
Service Agreement
One shattered marble countertop or a client 'forgetting' to pay turns your profitable week into a debt sentence. Without a paper trail, you’re just a volunteer with a mop and a massive liability problem.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to ensure you aren't footing the bill for a ten-thousand dollar antique you accidentally bumped with a vacuum.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a House Cleaner, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the client keeps adding 'quick tasks' that take an extra hour?
That's scope creep killing your hourly rate; use your contract to list specific tasks so you can point to the paper and charge a premium for anything extra.
How do I handle it when I show up and I'm locked out?
Time is money and you wasted gas; your agreement should include a 'No-Access Fee' so you get paid for the slot you reserved even if they flaked on the key.
The client claims I broke something that was already busted—now what?
Without a 'Pre-Existing Damage' walkthrough clause in your contract, it's your word against theirs, and the person with the checkbook usually wins that fight.
