What Affects Commercial Cleaning Cost?
- Square footage — primary driver. Larger facilities get better per-sq-ft rates.
- Frequency — more visits per week reduce per-visit cost but increase total monthly.
- Surface mix — VCT, carpet, tile, and concrete each have different maintenance needs.
- Restroom count — restrooms drive labor time disproportionately to footprint.
- Kitchen / break room presence — adds appliance, food-safe sanitizer, and refrigerator scope.
- Trash volume — higher volume = more cart trips, more bag cost.
- Security / access complexity — multi-tenant Class-A access adds onboarding cost.
- After-hours vs day porter — 6 PM–6 AM standard; later shifts may premium.
- Special protocols — medical (EPA List N), green (EPA Safer Choice), allergy-sensitive (HEPA).
