You have called a commercial cleaning company to give you a quote or you are a commercial cleaning looking for a way to price your cleaning job. How is a price reached? When it comes to pricing a commercial cleaning project, these factors play a role:

1) Detail

How detailed do you want the cleaning company to be? Do you need your desks, phones and computers sanitized? Do you have windows and glass throughout your building that require weekly maintenance? Depending on the level of detail you that you need, will decide cost factors on your quote. If you have requested a very detailed clean but are price conscious, ask the cleaning company for 2 quotes. One detailed and one less detailed.

2) Times per Week

The majority of offices have cleaners come in once per week. This helps to support the cleanliness level of their building, offices, washrooms and garbages. If you need nightly cleaning done, this will cost considerably more.

3) Specialty Requests

This will not affect most office buildings. Grocery stores, department stores and schools all have maintenanced floor schedules. Specialty requests, such as nightly rotational auto scrubbing and quarterly waxing of floors to enhance the quality and look of show room floors is very time-consuming and costly. Ensure that your cleaners are doing as per your contract agreement.

4) Spring Clean

A spring clean is a year and sometime a bi yearly overall clean of your establishment. It can include walls, baseboards, interior and exterior windows, carpet steaming and shelving. The space and current cleanliness level will decide the cost to have these cleaning services done. The before and after effect of this service is usually very dramatic.

When receiving quotes from various companies a word of caution, is to be wary of super cheap cleaning quotes. Several businesses that have chosen us as their office cleaning company, complained of their last cleaners aka the super cheap quote. We were told that they did little or no cleaning during the time they spent “cleaning”. An easy way to solve this is to follow-up with concerns to prevent any future disturbances.

Your agreement with your cleaning company should be detailed in the outlining of the agreed services. If not, have them re-write the agreement stating exactly the services they agree to perform for you. If grievances arise this will come in very handy.

Enjoy your commercial cleaning shopping experience and if you have a company in Saskatoon, please email or call us so that we can give you a cleaning quote.

Thanks,
