- Office cleaning prices depend mainly on size, how often cleaners visit, restroom count, floor types and what is in the scope.
- Be cautious of any price quoted without seeing the space. Ranges online vary widely by city and scope.
- Ask for an itemized quote so you can see what you are paying for.
There is no single price for commercial office cleaning. Two offices of the same size can cost very different amounts. The cost depends on what the space needs and how often it needs it.
We are not going to quote you a number here, because a number without seeing your building would not be honest. Instead, here is what actually moves the price.
The factors that drive cost
- Square footage. More space means more labor time, but the relationship is not perfectly linear. A large open floor plan cleans faster per square foot than many small offices.
- Visit frequency. Cleaning five nights a week costs more in total than once a week, but the price per visit is often lower because the space stays in maintenance condition.
- Restroom and kitchen count. These take the most time and the most supplies. A small office with three restrooms can cost more than a larger one with one.
- Floor types. Hard floors, carpet and specialty surfaces need different tools and different time.
- Scope. Trash and restrooms only is a different job than full dusting, glass, break room and disinfection of touchpoints.
- Supplies. Some quotes include paper and soap. Others do not. Always ask.
- Building type and rules. Medical offices and daycares need stricter disinfection routines than a typical office. See medical office cleaning.
- Timing. Evening and weekend work, access limits and alarms can affect labor planning.
How a quote is usually built
Most companies estimate the labor hours the work will take, multiply by a loaded labor rate (wages, taxes, insurance and supervision), then add supplies, equipment and overhead and a margin. That is why an extremely low price is a warning sign. If the labor math does not work, the shortfall shows up as rushed visits or missed tasks.
What to do before you compare
- Write down your building's square footage, restroom count and flooring.
- Decide how often you want service.
- Ask each bidder to price the same written scope.
- Ask whether supplies and consumables are included.
- Ask what changes the price later, such as adding a restroom or a day.
The honest takeaway
Cost is a function of scope. If you want a number you can rely on, you need a walkthrough. A Bright Rose provides free on-site walkthroughs for businesses in Palm Beach County and sends a written, itemized quote. You can also read how to get a quote without surprises.
