## Cleaning Quote App: Send Cleaning Quotes From Your Phone

SimplyWise Cost Estimator is a cleaning quote app. It turns a photo into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds. It is $29.99/mo or $239.99/yr with a 7-day free trial.

Cleaning quotes, at a glance

1. A cleaning quote names the home size, the service type, the add-ons, and how often you will come.
2. Standard, deep, and move-out cleans get separate lines, because the crew hours differ.
3. Supplies and crew hours belong on the quote, so the price makes sense to the client.
4. Send the quote while the client is still on the phone or text thread.
5. SimplyWise prices and sends the quote. Write the visit frequency right on it.
6. Maids and housekeeping cleaners earned a median $17.07 an hour nationally (BLS, May 2025).

## Cleaning quote app: the short answer

SimplyWise Cost Estimator is a cleaning quote app. It is the best app for a cleaning business that wants to send quotes fast.

Photograph the rooms, and it turns the photo into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds. You edit every line, add your markup, and send a professional, branded quote the client signs to approve.

It costs $29.99 a month or $239.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial. It works on iOS and Android, and its users span the trades, housecleaning included.

## What does a cleaning quote have to show?

A cleaning quote answers one question: what exactly am I paying for? Keep each line plain. The client should not have to call you to ask.

| Quote line | What it has to show |
| --- | --- |
| Home size and rooms | Square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and any rooms left out. |
| Service type | Standard, deep, or move-out clean, each priced as its own line. |
| Add-ons | Inside the oven, inside the fridge, windows, each with its own price. |
| Supplies | Whether supplies are included, or charged as a separate line. |
| Frequency | One time, weekly, every other week, or monthly, written on the quote. |
| Crew hours | People on the crew and hours on site, at your rate. |

Six lines, one clear cleaning quote.

Honest note: SimplyWise Cost Estimator prices and sends the quote. It is not a crew dispatch or routing tool. Keep that tool for your routes.

## How do you quote a deep clean versus a standard clean?

Price them as two separate services. A deep clean takes more crew hours than a standard clean, and a move-out clean takes more again. Put the service type on its own line so the client sees why the numbers differ.

Add-ons work the same way. Inside the oven, inside the fridge, and windows each get a line and a price. The client sees what each extra adds.

## How do you send a quote with a cleaning quote app in 4 steps?

1. Photograph the rooms Walk the home and shoot each room. You can also describe the job by voice. Include the size and the service type.
2. Review the lines Crew time, supplies, and fees each get a line with a unit, a quantity, and a price per unit. Add your built-in markup.
3. Add the add-ons and the frequency Add a line for the oven, the fridge, or the windows. Write the visit frequency on the quote, so nobody has to guess later.
4. Send it for approval Send a professional, branded quote the client signs to approve. Then turn the saved estimate into an invoice with Create Invoice.

## What do cleaners earn per hour?

Crew hours are a big part of every cleaning quote. Maids and housekeeping cleaners earned a median $17.07 an hour in May 2025. The 25th percentile was $14.59 and the 75th $19.03.

| Occupation | Median hourly | Source |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Maids and housekeeping cleaners (SOC 37-2012) | $17.07 | BLS, May 2025, national |
| Janitors and cleaners (SOC 37-2011) | $17.71 | BLS, May 2025, national |

That is wage paid, not the rate you bill. Taxes, supplies, drive time, and margin ride on top. See our cleaning services cost guide (https://www.simplywise.com/blog/how-much-do-cleaning-services-cost/) for what clients pay.
