Factors Impacting the Cost
► First of all, your geographic location may have a large impact on the cost of hiring a cleaning service. The cost of labor will have a major impact on the cost. Labor rates tend to be much higher in major cities and the surrounding suburbs. For example, cleaning rates may be much higher in downtown Chicago than they are in rural Iowa.
► How much space needs to be cleaned? The larger the area that needs to be cleaned, the more you can expect to pay. Most janitorial services base their initial quote on the square footage of the building.
► The size of the building is important, but it's also important to consider the type of facility that needs to be cleaned (and its unique features). Janitorial companies provide cleaning services to retail stores, restaurants, churches, hospitals, schools, and traditional office buildings.
► How often does the area needed to be cleaned? The frequency of cleaning is another important factor. While some businesses may need nightly cleaning services, others may only need service a few times a month. It is often more cost-effective to sign a cleaning contract with one provider.
► What level of service are you interested in? Most cleaning packages will include a basic set of services. This typically includes dusting, vacuuming, wiping down all surfaces, removing garbage, and restocking bathroom supplies. Any additional services, such as floor waxing, carpet cleaning, and window washing, will cost extra.
► Who will provide the cleaning supplies and paper products? While cleaning supplies are often included in the quote, you may be responsible for providing paper towels, toilet paper, and other products.
