Janitorial Service Pricing

1.   Number of People
This is the greatest influencer on cost. The more people in the space the more mess that needs to be cleaned up. More people means more trash, more traffic on floors (sweeping, mopping, vacuuming), more refilling of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and simply more mess to clean.
2.   Type of Business
Certain types of businesses tend to create greater cleaning needs. A manufacturing facility for example tends to create more dust, dirt, and grime which may be more challenging to clean than a corporate office building. In addition, certain facilities have cleanliness standards based on the products they produce – food, painting, or medial products. What a business or organization “does” can have a major impact on how much it may cost to keep the facility clean.
3.   Facility Characteristics
Characteristics include items such as: square footage of cleanable areas, number of restrooms and fixtures, number of windows and glass, design of the spaces (“wide open” or “chopped up”), and number of break areas. These factors and others influence the methodologies and equipment that may be used to clean the space.
4.   Type & Frequency of Services
Most janitorial agreements include the “big four” in terms of routine custodial duties: trash collection, dusting, floor care (vacuuming and mopping), and restroom care. However there can be a great deal of variance on the frequency with which these tasks are performed from building to building.
5.   Quality Expectations
Expectations can significantly influence the cost of cleaning. It is important
that the facility owner and custodial team have a very clear understanding of
the requirements. It is appropriate to have high expectations for cleanliness, but uniquely high expectations will likely cost more.

In Summary
The answer to the question of “How much does it cost to keep a facility looking and feeling clean?”… It depends.
