No national pricing sheet applies to a 6,000 sq ft office in Savage the same way it applies to one in Minneapolis or Phoenix. Labor costs, drive times, and local competitive dynamics are all different. The pricing framework below reflects what we see in the South Metro market, and it is the framework we use to build written quotes for facilities in Savage, Prior Lake, Burnsville, Shakopee, and the surrounding area.
How Commercial Cleaning Is Priced
Commercial cleaning contracts are typically priced per visit, per month, or per square foot per year. Most facility managers find per-month pricing easiest to budget. The key variables are:
- Square footage: The primary driver. A 2,000 sq ft office requires less time and labor than an 8,000 sq ft one, but the relationship is not strictly linear—restroom count and floor surface mix also matter.
- Frequency: A five-night-per-week schedule costs more per month than a three-night schedule, but the per-visit cost is typically lower on a higher-frequency contract because crew routing efficiency improves.
- Floor surfaces: Carpeted offices require vacuuming rather than hard-surface mopping. Hard surface corridors in light industrial buildings may require scrubbing rather than simple damp-mopping. The time required per square foot varies.
- Restroom count: Restrooms take disproportionate time relative to their square footage. A facility with six restrooms and 5,000 sq ft of office space will price higher than one with two restrooms and the same office area.
- Scope additions: Floor stripping and waxing, window cleaning, and periodic deep cleaning are priced separately from the base cleaning contract.
Requesting a Written Quote
We do not publish per-square-foot rates here because a number without context is not useful—it leads to sticker shock in one direction or a quote that underprices the actual work in the other. The right approach is to request a written quote for your specific facility. We respond by the next business day.
