How Much Do You Pay For Office Cleanings?

How Much Do You Pay For Office Cleanings?

They disinfect your office restrooms, they dust your computer screens and desks, they vacuum the floors you tramp in and out of every week, so how much are they getting paid to do this? More importantly, are they getting paid more than you?

Essentially they do all the things you wouldn't want to do if you had the time, or if your company paid you to do the same thing. From changing linens, watering plants, window washing, and interior cleaning of office kitchens, its an extensive cleaning everyday to keep your working environment void of dust,and bacterias that could cause sickness. More importantly from your boss's perspective, "a loss in production."

First you have to take into account a few attributes about the office; square footage, location, type of business, multiple locations, frequency of cleaning, any additional services or special attention areas. After all that is accounted for, the cleaning service has to take into account the amount of supplies needed to clean the office. Janitorial Supplies and Equipment are the most essential part of their service. You need a good supplier because you'll need replenishment of supplies very often. (For anyone in the Atlanta area interested in a good janitorial supplier, Janilink is a wonderful choice)

Costs vary considerably depending on how much you want done and how often, and pricing is not at all clear-cut. For small businesses it starts between $25 - $50 per visit and goes up depending on office size, the number of restrooms, and the type and amount of cleaning requested. A cleaning 1 or twice a week would be between $100 -$200 per month, while the cost for daily trash pickup and simple vacuuming at a typical small business could run $500 - $1500 or more a month.

For those extremely large offices the pay is determined by square footage. It could start between 10 cents - 75 cents per square foot. Most cleaning services charge separately for labor-intensive services such as floor buffing and window cleaning in difficult to reach areas with prices between 25 cents - 75 cents a square foot, deep carpet cleanings prices starting between $30 -$75 an hour, and cleaning microwaves or refrigerators prices starting between $25 -$50 per appliance. Generally the larger the office, the lower the cost per square foot. Nightly janitorial service for a 20,000-square-foot office in can start between 10 cents - 50 cents per square foot or $2,000 -$7,000 a month. Medical or health care facilities require specialized cleaning and are usually at the higher end of the price range and may be billed on an hourly basis rather than per square foot.

The point I'm trying to make is that cleaning services profit hugely from cleaning offices. Perhaps more than what you make per month. It's a recession proof industry that anyone can enter and do well in. So if you looking for that next business start-up, try a cleaning service, you'll break even in 1 month or less.
