Charging for cleaning a commercial building involves several key factors.

Here’s a streamlined approach…

Charge by Square Footage

• Typical Rate – Rates range from $0.10 to $0.25 per square foot for standard cleaning tasks. Larger or specialized buildings may cost up to $0.50 per square foot.
• Example – A 5,000 sq ft office at $0.15 per sq ft costs $750 for cleaning.

Hourly Rate

• Hourly Charge – Rates usually range from $25 to $75 per hour depending on location and service type.
• Example – 5 hours at $40/hour = $200.

Flat Rate

• Some companies use a flat rate, particularly for regular clients. Rates may be set based on square footage and cleaning frequency.
• Example – A 10,000 sq ft office may have a $2,500 monthly fee for regular cleaning.

Frequency of Cleaning

• Daily/Weekly – More frequent cleaning generally lowers the per-session cost.
• One-Time – Less frequent or deep cleanings typically cost more due to the additional effort.

Additional Factors

• Specialized Services like carpet or window cleaning may increase costs.
• Location – Prices vary depending on the region and cost of living.

Choose a pricing method based on the building’s size, cleaning frequency, and specific needs. Ensure clear communication to tailor pricing to the client’s requirements.
