Commercial Cleaning Cost

Commercial cleaning cost ranges from $385 to $495 a month for a 2,000 square foot warehouse up to $1,200 to $1,480 for a medical or dental office of the same size, both cleaned weekly at a standard service level, before your ZIP code is applied. Building type and how often you need service are the two biggest factors, since a per-visit rate gets multiplied by visits per month.

Cost factors

What changes the price

Building type
The biggest driver. Medical and restaurant spaces cost more per square foot due to compliance and grease or biohazard-adjacent cleaning, while warehouses cost the least.
Square footage
Priced per square foot per visit, then multiplied by how many visits happen each month, so two identically sized buildings can have very different monthly totals depending on frequency.
Frequency
Daily service costs the most in total but the least per visit relative to coverage. Monthly service costs the least in total but leaves more time for buildup between visits.
Service level
Basic covers trash, vacuuming, and restrooms. Standard adds surfaces, mopping, and the breakroom. Premium adds detailed work, windows, and floor care, at roughly 58% more than standard.
Restroom count
Adds $4 to $6 per restroom beyond the baseline of 2, since restrooms take disproportionately more time per visit than open floor space.
After-hours access and day porters
After-hours service adds about 15%. A day porter is billed as a separate monthly staffing line, not a per-visit charge, for buildings that need someone on-site during the day.
Frequently asked

Questions people ask before booking

How much does commercial cleaning cost?

For a 2,000 square foot space cleaned weekly, standard service level, cost ranges from $385 to $495 a month for a warehouse up to $1,200 to $1,480 for a medical or dental office. Building type and visit frequency are the two biggest drivers.

Why does commercial cleaning cost per square foot vary so much between building types?

Different building types need different scopes. A warehouse is mostly open floor space, while a medical office requires compliance-driven disinfection and a restaurant requires grease and health-code-driven kitchen cleaning, both of which take more time and expertise per square foot.

How does cleaning frequency affect the monthly price?

Directly. The per-visit rate is multiplied by how many visits happen each month, so a space cleaned daily costs about 5 times more per month than the same space cleaned weekly, and about 20 times more than the same space cleaned monthly.

What is the difference between basic, standard, and premium service levels?

Basic covers trash, vacuuming, and restrooms, at about 16% less than standard. Standard adds surfaces, mopping, and the breakroom. Premium adds detailed work, windows, and floor care, at about 58% more than standard.

What is a day porter and how is it priced?

A day porter is on-site daytime staff who handle spot cleaning, restocking, and immediate issues during business hours, separate from the after-hours cleaning crew. It is billed as its own monthly staffing line rather than folded into the per-visit cleaning rate.

Do office, medical office, and restaurant cleaning use the same calculator?

Yes. Office Cleaning Cost, Medical and Dental Office Cleaning Cost, and Restaurant and Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Cost each use this same pricing engine, pre-set to their building type, with a deeper look at the compliance and scope specifics for that industry.

If your building has a specific compliance angle, medical, restaurant, or a school, check that building type's own page for the details this overview does not go deep on. The calculator above works for any building type either way.
