How to bid commercial cleaning

Start with production rate: how many square feet one cleaner covers per hour (often 2,000–4,000 for offices). Hours per visit × visits per month × labor cost, plus supplies, then price to your margin. Restrooms and kitchens take longer per square foot, so count them separately.

FAQ

How much to charge for office cleaning per square foot?

It depends on frequency and your production rate. Monthly per-square-foot prices fall as visits per week go up.

Should I bid monthly or per visit?

Monthly contracts are easier to sell and to budget. Show the client both.
