How Commercial Cleaning Pricing Works
Commercial cleaning is priced differently from residential work. Contracts are typically monthly, based on square footage and cleaning scope rather than bedroom count.
The three main pricing models are: per-square-foot, flat monthly rate, and hourly. Most established cleaning companies use per-square-foot pricing internally, then present a flat monthly number to the client.
Commercial Cleaning Price Formula
Monthly Price = (Square Footage × Rate Per Sq Ft Per Visit) × Visits Per Month + Add-Ons
For larger markets or full-scope office cleaning, a 10,000 sq ft general office cleaned 3× weekly may run $6,000–$12,000/month. Lower-scope contracts or smaller markets may price below this range. Your rate per square foot depends on facility type, scope of work, and local market rates. Medical and gym facilities typically command higher rates due to sanitation requirements.
- General office: $0.05–$0.10 per sq ft per visit
- Medical/dental: $0.12–$0.20 per sq ft per visit
- Retail: $0.05–$0.09 per sq ft per visit
- Warehouse: $0.03–$0.07 per sq ft per visit
Commercial Cleaning Calculator vs Janitorial Bid Calculator
Use the commercial cleaning price calculator when you want a fast market-based estimate by square footage and frequency. Use the janitorial bid calculator when you want a cost-based bid that includes labor, supplies, overhead, drive time, and target profit margin.
The commercial cleaning calculator is best for quick quotes and benchmarking your rates against industry averages. The janitorial bid calculator is best for building detailed proposals where you need to show your cost breakdown and justify your price to the client.
