Short answer
Office cleaning is priced by the work, not just the size: square footage, nights per week, the number of restrooms and kitchens, floor types, detail work and whether supplies are included. That's why accurate quotes need a walkthrough. To compare quotes fairly, make sure each one covers the same schedule, checklist, supplies and contract terms.
Why there’s no single price
Two offices with the same square footage can cost very different amounts to clean. The price follows the work: how many nights, how many restrooms and kitchens, what kind of floors, and how much detail work is included. That’s why any honest quote starts with a walkthrough.
What drives the price
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Square footage | More space means more time, though open-plan space cleans faster than many small rooms. |
| Frequency | Five nights a week costs more than two, but each visit is often shorter. |
| Restrooms | Restrooms take the most time per square foot. The count matters more than their size. |
| Kitchens and break rooms | Heavy daily use means more time every visit. |
| Floors | Carpet, hard floors or both, and whether floor care beyond vacuuming and mopping is included. |
| Detail work | High dusting, baseboards, interior glass. Included on a rotation, or quoted separately. |
| Supplies | Included in the price, or billed on top. |
How to compare quotes fairly
The cheapest quote is often the one that includes the least. Before comparing prices, make sure each quote covers:
- The same schedule, nights per week.
- The same checklist, room by room.
- Detail work, and how often.
- Supplies: included or extra.
- Contract length and any termination fees.
A quote that looks lower but bills supplies separately, skips detail work or locks you into a long contract can end up costing more.
Hourly vs. flat monthly pricing
Some cleaners bill by the hour. Others quote a flat monthly price for a defined checklist. Flat pricing is easier to budget, and it puts the responsibility for doing the job efficiently on the cleaner rather than on you.
How we price
We walk your office, write the checklist with you and quote one flat monthly price with supplies included. Month to month, no long-term contract.
