How office and janitorial cleaning is priced, typical ranges, and what to ask before you sign a contract.
Commercial cleaning prices vary more than most business owners expect. Two quotes for the same office can be hundreds of dollars apart because they are pricing different work. This guide explains how commercial and janitorial cleaning is usually priced, what typical ranges look like and what to ask before you sign.

Commonly published ranges for recurring commercial cleaning run roughly $0.10 to $0.50 per square foot per month. More visits per week, smaller spaces and more detailed scopes sit at the higher end.
It depends on size and frequency. As a rough guide, a small office cleaned a few times a week often falls somewhere in the hundreds of dollars per month, while larger buildings with nightly service run into the thousands.
For most small and mid-size businesses, a cleaning company costs less once you add wages, payroll taxes, insurance, supplies and equipment to an in-house hire, and you do not have to cover sick days or turnover.
That varies by company, which is why comparing quotes can be tricky. Ask whether supplies, restroom paper products, trash liners and equipment are included, and get the scope of each visit in writing.
