The monthly income of a commercial cleaning business can vary greatly depending on factors like the size of the business, the number of clients, the types of services offered, and the location.

Here are some general insights…

Small Commercial Cleaning Business (1-3 Employees)

• Monthly Income – A small cleaning business with 1-3 employees may earn anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 per month in revenue. This is based on cleaning several smaller office buildings, some residential clients, and possibly a few larger buildings.
• Costs – Of course, expenses (cleaning supplies, payroll, transportation, insurance, etc.) will reduce the profit margin, so actual take-home profits might be around 30% to 50% of revenue.

Mid-Size Commercial Cleaning Business (5-10 Employees)

• Monthly Income – A mid-sized cleaning business with multiple employees, offering more extensive services and handling larger buildings, can make between $20,000 to $50,000 per month in revenue, especially if they have long-term contracts with larger clients (e.g., office buildings, schools, medical offices).
• Costs – With more employees and overhead, the operating costs will be higher. However, if the business scales well, profits can be substantial, potentially $10,000 to $25,000 or more after expenses.

Larger Commercial Cleaning Business (10+ Employees)

• Monthly Income – Larger cleaning companies that have a wider client base and multiple contracts can generate $50,000 to $100,000+ per month in revenue or more, depending on the volume and types of contracts.
• Costs – With more employees and larger operations, expenses will also increase. However, larger businesses can also negotiate better pricing with clients, leading to higher overall profitability.

Factors That Impact Revenue

• Client Contracts – Long-term contracts (e.g., weekly or monthly) with commercial clients bring steady, predictable revenue. One-off or seasonal jobs (like post-construction cleaning) can be lucrative but less predictable.
• Pricing Structure – Some businesses charge per square foot, while others charge per hour. The type of services offered (standard cleaning, deep cleaning, window washing, etc.) can affect rates.
• Location – Cleaning businesses in urban or high-demand areas tend to make more than those in rural locations due to the higher concentration of commercial buildings.
• Reputation & Client Base – A well-established business with a large, loyal client base can generate higher earnings than a new or small business.
