청소 견적 산정 방법과 신뢰를 주는 제안서 작성법

Direct Answer & Overview

A commercial cleaning proposal outlines the cleaning schedule, task checklist, square footage pricing, supply costs, and legal terms for office and facility maintenance. To win commercial accounts, your proposal must prove reliability, insurance compliance, and transparent hourly or monthly rates.

Most commercial bids are priced either by square foot ($0.08 to $0.25 per sq ft) or as a flat monthly retainer based on frequency. Below you will find ready-to-use cleaning proposal templates, task checklists, and pricing formulas to copy into your bids.

Key Takeaways

  • Commercial cleaning is typically priced at $0.08 to $0.25 per square foot or $30 to $50 per worker hour.
  • Always conduct an in-person walkthrough before submitting a commercial cleaning bid to inspect high-traffic areas.
  • Clearly list included daily tasks versus periodic add-ons (carpet extraction, deep disinfection, window washing).
  • Attach certificates of general liability insurance and workers' compensation directly to your proposal.
  • Specify whether cleaning supplies, chemicals, and trash liners are provided by you or the client.
  • Offerlime lets cleaning companies send branded digital proposals with toggleable add-on services and instant mobile sign-off.

Standard commercial cleaning scope of work

Commercial clients expect a detailed breakdown of what is cleaned on each visit. Group tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly routines to establish clear expectations:

  • Restrooms: Sanitize toilets, urinals, sinks, mirrors, and replenish paper products and soap dispensers.
  • Floors: Vacuum carpets, sweep and damp mop tile and hardwood floors with commercial disinfectant.
  • Workstations & Desks: Dust cleared desk surfaces, sanitize door handles, light switches, and phone receivers.
  • Breakrooms & Kitchens: Wipe countertops, clean microwave interiors, sanitize sink basins, and damp wipe tables.
  • Waste Management: Empty all trash cans, replace liners, and transport waste to on-site dumpsters.

How to price commercial cleaning jobs

There are three common pricing models in the cleaning industry. Selecting the right model depends on the facility size and cleaning frequency:

  • Square Foot Pricing: Ideal for facilities over 2,500 sq ft. General offices run $0.08–$0.15/sq ft, while medical clinics requiring terminal disinfection run $0.20–$0.35/sq ft.
  • Hourly Rate: Standard rates range between $30 and $55 per cleaner hour. Standard cleaning speed averages 2,500 to 3,500 square feet per labor hour.
  • Flat Monthly Rate: Preferred by corporate clients for predictable budgeting. Calculate total monthly hours × hourly wage + supply overhead + 25-35% profit margin.
