The Office Cleaning Bid Formula (Step-by-Step)

  1. Measure the cleanable square footage: Walk the space and exclude storage rooms, server rooms, and areas your team won't service. Measure only what you'll clean.
  2. Multiply by your per-sqft rate: For standard office cleaning, use $0.08–$0.12/sqft/visit as a starting point. Adjust up for high-touch environments or specialty flooring.
  3. Multiply by cleanings per month: Most small offices clean 3×/week (13/month). Daily cleaning is 20–22 visits/month. Factor in your travel time per visit.
  4. Verify profit margin on labor cost: Your crew's labor + drive time should consume no more than 55–65% of the contract value. The rest covers supplies, overhead, and profit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does office cleaning cost per square foot?
Office cleaning costs $0.07–$0.15 per square foot per cleaning, depending on frequency, services required, and market. Small offices in value markets start at $0.07/sqft; premium markets and high-touch environments reach $0.15+/sqft.
How much does it cost to clean a 1,000 sq ft office?
Cleaning a 1,000 sq ft office costs $85–$150 per visit, or $185–$320 per month on 3× weekly service. Rates vary by market, service scope, and frequency.
How do you bid a commercial cleaning contract?
Measure cleanable square footage, multiply by your per-sqft rate ($0.08–$0.12 for standard office), multiply by monthly service frequency, then verify your labor cost is below 65% of the contract value. Never bid by the hour for recurring commercial contracts.
How much do janitorial services charge per month?
Small office janitorial service (1,000–2,000 sq ft, 3× weekly) runs $185–$400/month. A mid-size office (5,000 sq ft, nightly service) runs $1,800–$3,500/month. Pricing scales with frequency, square footage, and service scope.
Should I require a contract for office cleaning?
Always. A written commercial cleaning contract protects both parties by specifying scope, frequency, exclusions, cancellation terms, and annual price adjustment provisions. Month-to-month commercial agreements create revenue unpredictability and scope disputes.
