Cleaning proposals that win commercial accounts
Free proposal templates for every type of building, a plain-English guide to pricing commercial cleaning, and a calculator that shows its math. Built by Outscoped, proposal software for commercial cleaning companies.
A good cleaning proposal does three things: it shows the client exactly what you will clean and how often, it prices the work from real labor hours instead of a guess, and it gives the client up to 3 price options so they choose a package instead of shopping you on price.
