FAQ

How do I get a commercial cleaning quote?

Prepare square footage, visit frequency, restroom count, floor types, trash needs, access requirements, and special tasks, then ask vendors to quote the same scope.

Can this calculator replace a walkthrough?

No. It gives a planning estimate. A walkthrough helps vendors price labor, access, supplies, and risk more accurately.

Why do commercial cleaning quotes vary so much?

Quotes vary because vendors price labor, quality checks, supplies, insurance, floor care, and after-hours access differently.

What should a commercial cleaning quote include?

It should include service frequency, task list, supplies, exclusions, monthly price, cancellation terms, insurance, and add-on pricing.
