As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, hygiene is now a top priority. It’s not enough for your business to look clean; it also needs to be thoroughly disinfected and sanitized. But hiring a reputable company can be costly, and it’s difficult to know if you are paying a fair rate for what you are getting. Let’s take a closer look at commercial cleaning costs.
Typical Commercial Cleaning Costs
Commercial cleaning costs vary depending on the size of your office or facility and how often it is cleaned. The type of facility will factor in as well. Due to the nature of their businesses, it costs more to clean a medical facility or a restaurant than a regular office building.
Cleaning companies usually either calculate their rates hourly or based on the square footage of the building. According to Home Advisor, the cost of commercial cleaning for an office building ranges from $0.07 to $0.15 per square foot. If your office space is larger than 12,000 square feet, you’ll have a lower rate per square foot. Hourly commercial cleaning costs run from $20 to $80 per hour, but fees for larger spaces are almost always calculated per square foot instead of hourly.
Typically, commercial cleaning service rates include sweeping, mopping, and/or vacuuming floors and carpets, dusting, removing trash, and cleaning restrooms, breakrooms, and kitchen areas. But that’s just the basics. Many cleaning companies offer a range of additional services at various price points.
The Price of Not Hiring Commercial Cleaners
While eliminating commercial cleaning costs from your budget will save you money now, it could wind up costing you more in the future. Having your office sanitized and disinfected regularly helps protect the health of your employees, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. If employees become ill and must take extended sick leave, the loss of work hours could lead to a loss in revenue for your business. A sparkling office or retail space creates a good first impression for customers. If your facility is less than spotless, you may risk losing customers.
Routine visits from a cleaning service can also prevent unhygienic conditions that may attract pests and force you to hire an exterminator to deal with the infestation. Plus, any equipment your business owns, even the toilets in the restrooms and the refrigerator in the breakroom, will last longer if cleaned regularly.
Buying Peace of Mind
The commercial cleaning costs you pay buy you one thing you may not have considered: peace of mind for you, your employees, and your customers. Knowing that your cleaning company has done everything possible to kill the germs contaminating your business means one less thing for you to worry about.
