What a window cleaning invoice is for
Window cleaning invoices are simple, but customers check the count. Listing windows, screens and tracks with their quantities lets them check it in seconds. For recurring storefront routes, the monthly invoice should list each visit date. Add the streak re-clean window so a customer who spots a smear calls you first.
What to put on a window cleaning invoice
- Windows cleaned and the count.

A worked example
The two-story house is done. The customer added the glass shower doors while the crew was inside.
| Line | Qty | Unit | Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Window cleaning, inside and outside * | 20 | each | $12.00 | $240.00 |
| Screen cleaning * | 20 | each | $3.12 | $62.40 |
| Track and sill cleaning | 20 | each | Your price | |
| Glass shower doors, added on site | 2 | each | Your price |
The shower doors are a separate line with a note that they were added on site. The customer approved them; the invoice reminds them.
