Can i write off house cleaning for my home office

To deduct house cleaning expenses for your home office, the space must be used exclusively and regularly for business purposes. Only the portion of cleaning expenses that pertains to the home office area is deductible. For example, if your home office occupies 10% of your home's total square footage, you can deduct 10% of your house cleaning expenses. The home office must meet the IRS criteria of being a principal place of business or a place where you meet clients or customers regularly. General cleaning of the entire house is not deductible, only the portion directly attributable to the office space.
