What affects the price
Frequency
Daily or nightly service costs less per visit and per square foot than once-a-week, because less accumulates and routes are efficient.
Size & layout
Larger floor areas cost less per square foot, but lots of restrooms, kitchens and partitioned offices slow the route and raise the rate.
Scope of work
Basic vacuum, trash and restrooms is the base. Floor stripping, carpet extraction and window cleaning are periodic extras.
