Prior to hire a professional cleaning service provider, you should take notice of the office cleaning prices. This will help you feel more secure and confident when negotiating with different cleaning companies.

In general, the basic cleaning services provided will determine the office cleaning rates charged by cleaning companies. Primary office cleaning may include dusting and mopping, vacuuming, removing trash, removing debris, cleaning the bathrooms, etc. Depending on the area in which your office is located and the total area to be cleaned, these janitorial tasks could cost about $200-250 a month for once a week cleaning.

The office cleaning rates will also depend on whether the cleaners use their own cleaning supplies or whether you provide them with the cleaning products. If a company does not provide any of the supplies necessary to clean your facility, then buying these supplies could increase the cost of your annual cleaning bill. In its turn, this should lower the price charged by a cleaning provider. You should be aware that the overall cost of the cleaning will also depend on the frequency, types of floor surfaces, machines and supplies.

Before hiring a professional cleaning company, make a list of the cleaning services you require. It also should include the frequency of such tasks – whether you would like such tasks to be done at a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Also, write down the average area of office space to be cleaned.

It is always wiser to schedule regular visits. This way you will get a better price and you can rest assured that your office is clean and tidy all the time. It would be better to sign an office cleaning contract that clarify all the details.

Then you should make a list of cleaning companies that are located near your office. Compare their services and prices. Negotiate with them. The one which gives you the best bargain is obviously the way to go.
