How office cleaning is priced
Square footage is the starting point: a recurring office clean usually runs $0.07 to $0.20 / sq ft per visit, with smaller offices near the top of that band because there is a fixed minimum amount of labor regardless of size. The office type then adjusts the workload - a medical or executive suite takes more time per square foot than an open general office, while a coworking space carries heavier traffic in its common areas.
Frequency is the third lever and the biggest driver of the monthly bill. An office serviced nightly stays maintained, so each visit is lighter and prices a little lower per visit than a one-time or first clean, which always takes the most labor. The calculator above models all three so you can move from a square-foot rate to a per-visit number you can put straight on a bid.

What affects office cleaning cost
- Square footage - the base of every office bid, with smaller offices carrying a higher per-foot rate due to the labor minimum
- Frequency - nightly service runs lighter per visit; one-time and first cleans take the most labor and set the monthly cost
- Employee count and density - more people means faster soiling, heavier restroom and breakroom use, and a more frequent schedule
- Office type - medical, executive, and coworking spaces take more time per square foot than an open general office
- Restrooms and breakrooms - they take more time per square foot than desks and hallways and drive much of the labor
- Specialty work - floor strip-and-wax, carpet cleaning, and interior windows are billed on top of the base rate
- Access and hours - after-hours, secure, or badge-restricted access raises the rate in most markets
