DusterBook publishes a small set of free, no-login tools for owner-operators and small cleaning crews. They are meant for quick estimates and paperwork sanity checks—not as a replacement for walking the home, reviewing payroll, or sending binding quotes from the app. Nothing here requires a DusterBook account; when you are ready for shareable quote links, scheduling, and invoice status tracking, start a trial.
Cleaning price calculator
The cleaning price calculator is an interactive form with five inputs: beds, baths, base price, per bed, and per bath. The total updates as you type using the same bed-and-bath math DusterBook uses on maintenance quotes: total = base + (beds × per bed) + (baths × per bath). There is no hourly field on that page—just the coefficients you control.
Use it when a lead texts bedroom and bathroom counts before you schedule a walkthrough, when you are tuning rate cards, or when you train a new office person on your published grid. Replace the default numbers with what you actually charge in your market.
Cleaning invoice template
The cleaning invoice template explains what belongs on a professional cleaning invoice rather than offering a PDF stuffed with fake revenue figures. It covers business identity, customer and service address, line items, subtotal, tax, total, payment terms, and how to tell clients to pay while DusterBook does not yet process their cards inside the app.
Reach for this page when you are still sending a handful of PDFs or Word docs each month and want a consistent field checklist. When volume grows, generating invoices from completed jobs in DusterBook gives you shareable links and overdue tracking without retyping addresses.
Who these tools are for
These helpers target residential and light commercial cleaners—house cleaning, maids, turnover teams, and small janitorial shops with roughly one to ten people. They assume US-style dollar inputs and bed/bath counts typical of single-family homes and apartments. Commercial time-and-materials bids, carpet route tickets, and window per-pane pricing need different worksheets; see our industry pages for workflow context.
Solo cleaners use the calculator to double-check a texted quote before driving across town. Office managers pair the invoice checklist with their existing spreadsheet until they migrate to in-app invoicing. Refreshing the page clears the calculator fields—we do not save your inputs on our servers.
How the tools relate to the blog
Long-form guides on the blog go deeper on pricing psychology, insurance, and software fit. These posts pair naturally with the free tools:
- House cleaning price calculator — walks through a time-and-cost worksheet on paper; use it when you need labor, travel, and margin math, then cross-check bed/bath totals with the interactive calculator.
- How much to charge for house cleaning — market framing before you lock base and per-room increments.
- Cleaning invoice template — copy-ready example blocks and payment-term detail that complement the shorter field list on the tool page.
- How to write a cleaning bid — structure for commercial or bundled scopes after you have a residential baseline.
We link between blog and tools so you can choose depth: quick interactive total versus narrative examples you can paste into onboarding docs for new hires.
FAQ
Do I need an account? No. Tools are public pages.
Are totals binding quotes? No. Send a formal quote from DusterBook when the customer should accept a scoped price.
Will you add more calculators? We may add more free helpers; the changelog notes what shipped. We avoid announcing tools that are not live.
Does the calculator include tax? The on-page tool does not add tax; your workspace tax rate applies when you build quotes in the app.
Where is pricing for the software itself? See pricing for Solo and Team subscriptions and trial rules.
