If you manage an office, entire building, retail store, medical facility, warehouse, school, or other large space, then you’re probably wondering what is the usual cost for an office commercial cleaning services.
A clean and organized workplace is proven to increase the morale and productivity of employees. And in return, this productivity can increase the success rate of your company.
So with that said, let’s take a look at the average cost of commercial cleaning and how to companies charge today.
The number one factor that commercial cleaning cost depends on is space.
Usually, rates are calculated based of square footage, so it’s important to keep this in mind.
In addition to the size of the space, it also depends on:
Let’s look a little closer at the money.
Now, let us understand the cost included of this charge per hour:
Keep in mind, this is the hourly rate for “contractors” (1099) or for what commercial cleaning companies will charge you.
Also the higher hourly rate ($40-50 per hour) are for major cities like New York, Bay Area CA, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, and others to where the living expenses are much more. In addition, if the cleaning require heavy lifting or construction cleaning.
The $30-$40 per hour applies to other states like Florida, Alabama, NC, SC, etc.
Knowing the national average is a great starting point, but it doesn’t cover the commercial cleaning cost of every situation or every space.
So, Let’s get down the details.
There are three main options when it comes to choosing your commercial cleaning service:
Make sure you know the facts about these three types of commercial cleaning services before you decide which type to use.
There are companies that charge a flat rate to clean a commercial space. This is a great option if you know exactly what your budget is, or if you only need the commercial cleaning service for a one-time event or on an as-needed basis.
The flat rate is calculated after the company does a site visit, walkthrough, analysis of how many staff will be needed, and evaluation of how much time the job will take.
Here is a good guide for you to think about:
| Square Feet | Commercial Cleaning Per Visit |
| 0-1000 sq. ft | $118 |
| 1000-2000 sq. ft | $150 |
| 3000-4000 sq. ft | $200 |
| 5000-6000 sq. ft | $225 |
| 7000-8000 sq. ft | $400 |
| 9000-10000 sq. ft | $463 |
Again, this rate includes the factors I mentioned above and depends if it is light or deep cleaning.
If it is deep cleaning, expect to pay a bit more especially if you are one of this property managers who only does once or twice a week cleaning.
Another method of charging for commercial cleaning service is hourly rates.
A commercial cleaning supervisor or manager will first need to visit the facility and analyze how many hours that they think it will take to clean your space per your standards.
On the hourly rate pricing, this can vary based on:
Cleaning rates of $25-$50 per worker per hour represent an average range.
Most common light cleaning hourly rate charge is $35/hour.
This includes cleaning bathrooms, windows, floors, etc.
The last method that is typically used to calculate the cost of commercial cleaning services is rate per square foot.
Naturally, the bigger the space to be cleaned, the lower the cost per square foot the company may quote you.
According to PriceItHere, average commercial cleaning rates range from $0.07-$0.15 per square foot in 2019-2020. This price for sq./ft applies to office and janitorial commercial cleaning services.
So before you ask for a commercial cleaning quote, you need to really determine the size of your facility.
There are two important factors that affect the cost of commercial cleaning services:
In an office building, windows and bathrooms take longer to clean and disinfect than hallways, offices, or waiting rooms.
