Professional cleaning service costs typically fall between 8 and 25 cents per square foot, with the exact rate driven by the type of facility and the level of detail required. At Cleaning Up KC, we have priced programs for offices, medical buildings, and everything in between, and this guide breaks down what shapes the final number.
How Much Does a Professional Cleaning Service Cost Per Square Foot?
Commercial cleaning is priced by the square foot, and most facilities fall between 8 and 25 cents.
Cost Range by Facility Type
An office with mostly carpet costs closer to 8 cents per square foot. A medical facility with all hard floors lands at the higher end of 20 to 25 cents, since the work involves more complete disinfection and detailed floor care.
Why Floor Type Matters
Carpeted spaces are faster to maintain, which keeps the per-square-foot rate lower. Hard floors require more attention, especially in healthcare environments where every visit involves thorough disinfection.
Key Takeaway: Most commercial cleaning falls between 8 and 25 cents per square foot, with floor type and disinfection needs driving most of the difference.
How Cleaning Frequency Affects Your Cost
How often we clean has a direct impact on what each visit costs.
Daily and Weekly Cleaning
When we clean five days a week, the cost per day is lower because the team is essentially maintaining a space that already stays in good shape. Every visit handles light upkeep rather than a full reset.
Monthly or One-Time Cleans
A facility cleaned once a month requires more work per visit, since the space has not been maintained between services. That deeper clean costs more per visit than a routine daily clean.

What’s Included in a Professional Cleaning Service Cost
Standard programs cover the work that keeps a facility presentable, and we tailor the specifications to the building type.
Standard Cleaning Tasks
Most programs include:
- Floor care
- Trash removal
- Surface cleaning
- Restrooms and high-traffic areas
- Break rooms
Specifications by Facility Type
For medical facilities, we add complete disinfection across surfaces. For offices where desks are covered in personal items, we leave those workstations alone and concentrate on the shared areas of the building instead.
Pro Tip: Tell us upfront which areas to leave alone so our team can focus its time where it actually matters to your operation.
Supplies, Equipment, and Add-On Services
Most equipment and supplies are included in the base rate, with only a few items billed separately.
What We Provide
We provide our own supplies and equipment for every job. Any consumable supplies, such as paper products and soap, are billed back on the monthly invoice.
Floor Scrubbing and Specialty Tasks
Some facilities require floor scrubbing as part of the program. The client can provide the scrubber, or we can provide it as well, depending on what your facility already has on site.
