No. If you only have one client that you are cleaning for on Fridays, then this would just be considered a commute not business miles. If you are going from client to client, then the mileage between clients would be considered business miles.
Self-Employment taxes are 15.3% of your profit on top of your regular taxes. You are paying both your share and "the employers" share of the Social Security and Medicare taxes. When you are an employee, you are only paying half of that.
Some things you can deduct would be cleaning supplies, advertising, equipment, or a portion of your cell phone bill if you use it to communicate with clients.
I am assuming you did not make quarterly payments throughout 2025, if you plan to do this again in 2026, it may be a good idea to make estimated quarterly payments to avoid penalties. This will also help lower the amount you have to pay at the end of the year when you file your taxes.
