This Home Cleaning Services Agreement (the "Agreement") is dated as of [Effective Date], by and between [Provider Name] (the "Provider") and [Client Name] (the "Client") (collectively, the "Parties"). The Parties agree as follows:

This draft is a general business document for weekly residential home cleaning services and is not legal advice. A licensed attorney in your state can review and adapt it for your specific situation.

Core terms

1. SERVICES:

1.1 Provider will perform weekly home cleaning services for Client at Client’s residential property (the "Services"). 1.2 The Services will generally include routine cleaning tasks such as surface dusting, vacuuming and/or sweeping and mopping of floors, cleaning of bathroom fixtures, and basic kitchen cleaning. The Parties may add more detail in an attached Service Schedule if needed (attach an appendix or checklist if you require more space to detail Services). 1.3 Provider will supply basic cleaning equipment and products unless the Parties agree in writing that Client will supply certain products or tools. 1.4 Client will inform Provider in advance of any surfaces, materials, or items that require special care or that may be easily damaged by common cleaning products. 1.5 Services are for regular maintenance cleaning only and do not include deep cleaning, move-in/move-out work, post-construction cleaning, or specialized services (such as carpet shampooing or exterior window cleaning) unless the Parties agree in writing to add them, including any extra fees. 1.6 Services are expected to begin on [Start Date]. The Parties will agree on the regular weekday and time window for each weekly visit in writing or by email.

This clause describes what the cleaner will do each week, what is included as normal home cleaning, and how the schedule and any detailed checklist can be documented. It also clarifies who brings supplies and that special or deep-clean tasks must be agreed on separately.

2. FEES & PAYMENT:

2.1 Client will pay Provider a fee of $120 USD per visit for the weekly Services. 2.2 Payment is due after each visit and must be made no later than the end of the same calendar day, unless the Parties agree in writing to a different payment timing. 2.3 Provider may accept payment by cash, check, electronic transfer, or other methods that Provider specifies in writing. Provider may issue an invoice or receipt after each visit or on a regular schedule. 2.4 If Client does not pay an amount due within 7 calendar days after the due date, Provider may pause future cleaning visits until Client’s account is brought current. 2.5 If ongoing fees change in the future, Provider will give Client at least 14 days’ written notice before any new per-visit rate applies to Services that have not yet been performed.

This clause sets the price at $120 per weekly visit, explains that payment is due after each visit, and allows the provider to pause service if payment is late. It also allows the provider to describe accepted payment methods and how price changes will be communicated.

3. SCHEDULE & CANCELLATIONS:

3.1 Services are planned on a recurring weekly schedule on the weekday and within the time window agreed by the Parties in writing or by email. 3.2 Client must give Provider at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a scheduled visit without a cancellation fee. 3.3 If Client cancels or reschedules a visit with less than 24 hours’ notice, or if Provider arrives during the agreed time window and cannot access the property, Client will owe the full $120 fee for that visit as a cancellation fee. 3.4 Provider will make reasonable efforts to arrive during the agreed time window. If Provider expects to be more than 60 minutes late, Provider will notify Client as soon as practical and may request to adjust the schedule. 3.5 Provider may reschedule a visit due to illness, unsafe conditions, severe weather, or other events outside Provider’s control. In that case, Provider will work with Client in good faith to set a new time for the missed visit.

This clause explains how the weekly cleaning schedule works, when the client can cancel or reschedule, and that short-notice cancellations or access problems will be charged the full visit fee. It also covers lateness, provider rescheduling, and communication around schedule changes.

4. ACCESS, KEYS & SAFETY:

4.1 Client will provide safe and lawful access to the property for each scheduled visit and will ensure suitable parking is available as noted in the Parties’ understanding that Client provides access and parking. 4.2 Client may choose to be present during the visit or to provide keys, access codes, or instructions for entry. Client is responsible for confirming that all access instructions are accurate and up to date. 4.3 Provider will take reasonable care to lock doors and secure the property when leaving, using the same level of security in place when Provider arrived unless Client gives different written instructions. 4.4 Provider is not responsible for loss or damage that results from other persons having keys or access to the property or being present while Provider is working. 4.5 If Provider believes that conditions at the property are unsafe, unhealthy, or violate applicable building or safety standards, Provider may refuse or stop work. If work is refused or stopped for these reasons, Client will pay for the portion of Services already performed at a pro-rated amount of the per-visit fee.

This clause explains that the client must provide safe access and parking, choose how the cleaner will enter, and keep access instructions current. It also states that the cleaner will secure the property when leaving, is not responsible for issues caused by other people with access, and may refuse work if conditions are unsafe.
Risk & exceptions

5. PETS & SPECIAL CONDITIONS:

5.1 Client will inform Provider in advance if any pets are on the property and will explain any special handling, containment, or safety needs. 5.2 Client is responsible for securing pets in a safe area if needed to allow Provider to work safely and effectively. 5.3 Provider is not responsible for injuries to pets or damage caused by pets unless such injury or damage is directly caused by Provider’s intentional misconduct. 5.4 Client will promptly tell Provider about any special conditions in the home, such as fragile items, alarm systems, or sensitive surfaces, that may affect how Services should be performed.

This clause covers how to handle pets and any special conditions in the home. It requires the client to tell the cleaner about pets or fragile or special areas and to secure pets if needed so the cleaner can work safely.

6. EXCLUSIONS:

6.1 The Services do not include lifting or moving heavy furniture or appliances, climbing on roofs or using tall ladders, or performing any task that Provider believes is unsafe or beyond normal residential cleaning. 6.2 The Services do not include removal of hazardous materials, mold remediation, biohazard cleanup, pest control, or any service that requires special licensing or training. 6.3 Provider is not responsible for damage or wear that existed before Services began, nor for normal wear and tear that results from ordinary cleaning methods used with reasonable care. 6.4 If Client requests work outside the scope described in this Agreement, the Parties must agree in writing on the added work and any extra charges before Provider performs those tasks.

This clause lists what is not included in the weekly cleaning, such as heavy lifting, hazardous material removal, and specialized services. It also states that the cleaner is not responsible for pre-existing damage or normal wear and tear, and that extra work requires agreement on added fees.

8. LIABILITY & DAMAGE:

8.1 Provider will use reasonable care when performing the Services. If Provider causes damage to Client’s property through Provider’s negligence or intentional misconduct, Provider will, at Provider’s choice, repair the damage, arrange for repair, or reimburse Client for the reasonable cost of repair. 8.2 In any case, Provider’s total responsibility for all claims for property damage arising from the Services will not be more than 300 USD in the aggregate under this Agreement. 8.3 Provider is not responsible for loss or damage that results from normal wear and tear, pre-existing conditions, defects in materials or equipment, or Client’s failure to give accurate information about fragile or special items. 8.4 Provider is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage that occurs when other persons (such as guests, family members, or other workers) have access to the property during or after a visit. 8.5 Neither Party will be responsible to the other for lost profits, loss of business, or other indirect or consequential damages that result from the Services, except for amounts that must be paid under this Agreement for services actually performed or fees properly charged.

This clause explains that if the cleaner negligently damages the client’s property, the cleaner will repair or pay for repair, but overall damage payments are capped at $300 for this agreement. It also limits responsibility for pre-existing issues, normal wear, and problems caused by others with access, and excludes claims for lost profits or similar indirect losses.
Legal wrap-up

7. TERM & TERMINATION:

7.1 This Agreement starts on the Effective Date and continues on an ongoing weekly basis unless ended under this clause. 7.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement for any reason by giving at least 14 days’ written notice to the other Party. Services already scheduled within the notice period will continue unless the Parties agree otherwise. 7.3 Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately if the other Party fails to perform a material obligation under this Agreement and does not correct that failure within 10 calendar days after receiving written notice describing the issue. 7.4 Ending this Agreement does not remove Client’s duty to pay for Services already performed, including any cancellation fees that were properly charged before the termination date. 7.5 If this Agreement ends, Provider will have no further duty to provide Services after the effective termination date, and Client will no longer be obligated to schedule or pay for future visits.

This clause explains how long the agreement lasts, how either party can end it with notice, and when it can be ended immediately for serious problems. It also clarifies that the client must still pay for work already done and any proper cancellation fees, even after termination.

9. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION:

9.1 This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state of [Governing State], without regard to its choice-of-law rules. 9.2 The Parties will first try in good faith to resolve any dispute related to this Agreement through informal discussion and written communication. 9.3 If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 calendar days, either Party may pursue any dispute resolution method they choose, such as mediation, arbitration, or a claim in a court that has authority over the Parties and the subject of the dispute. 9.4 Each Party will pay its own costs and expenses in any dispute unless a decision-maker orders otherwise.

This clause states which state’s rules will be used to interpret the agreement and encourages the parties to try to solve problems informally before using mediation, arbitration, or court. Each side normally pays its own costs in a dispute.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS:

10.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets out the entire understanding between the Parties about the weekly home cleaning Services and replaces all earlier written or spoken discussions about the same subject. 10.2 Changes. Any change to this Agreement is only effective if it is in writing and signed or clearly agreed by both Parties, which may include agreement by email. 10.3 No Waiver. If either Party does not enforce a right under this Agreement, that does not mean the Party gives up that right in the future. 10.4 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable or invalid by a court or other decision-maker, the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect, and the invalid part will be changed only as needed to make it effective while staying as close as possible to the original intent. 10.5 Independent Contractor. Provider is an independent contractor and not an employee of Client. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between the Parties. 10.6 Notices. Formal notices under this Agreement must be in writing and may be delivered by hand, certified mail, or email to the contact details the Parties provide to each other. Notices are effective when received, or, for email, when sent without an error message.

This clause covers general contract rules: it says the agreement is the full understanding, changes must be in writing, not enforcing a right once does not waive it, and invalid parts do not cancel the rest. It also clarifies that the cleaner is an independent contractor and sets basic rules for written notices.

PROVIDER: Name: ________________________________ Title (if applicable): ___________________ Company (if applicable): ________________ Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________ CLIENT: Name: ________________________________ Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________
