What Does Office Cleaning Cost?

The price of office cleaning is naturally one of the first questions most companies need to clarify when considering a professional cleaning agreement.

The short answer is: It depends on your office, your needs, and your day-to-day operations.

In this article, we explain what typically affects the price of office cleaning, and we also provide concrete price examples so you can get a realistic sense of what influences the final cost.

What does the price of office cleaning depend on?

Office cleaning is not a standard product, and it is rarely meaningful to work with a fixed price per square meter or a price per employee.

Two offices of the same size can have very different needs — and therefore very different prices.

In particular, the following factors influence the price:

• The number of employees using the office on a daily basis
• How many workstations and desks the office has
• The number of toilets and sanitary facilities
• Floor types and materials (e.g. carpets, wooden floors, or tiles)
• The average age of employees (which often reflects how the office is used)
• Industry and type of business
• How often cleaning is required during the week
• The number of waste bins and sorting solutions
• Whether cleaning is combined with other services (e.g. piccoline service), which can reduce the overall cleaning need
• The office’s activity level — for example, weekly social events or a Friday bar compared to a quieter working environment

For this reason, professional cleaning companies typically work with custom agreements rather than fixed prices.

What affects the price of office cleaning the most?

When determining the right price, the following factors are especially important:

Number of employees

The more people who use the office daily, the more wear, dirt, and waste will naturally occur. This is especially true in toilets, kitchen areas, and shared spaces.

Number of toilets and kitchens

Two offices with the same number of employees can have very different cleaning needs depending on:

• The number of toilets
• Kitchenettes or canteen areas
• Showers and changing rooms

Cleaning frequency

The price is also closely linked to how often cleaning is performed — whether it is done weekly, 2–3 times per week, or every weekday.

Office layout and materials

Floor types, furniture, and surfaces also play a role. Carpets, upholstered furniture, and light-colored surfaces typically require more maintenance than hard floors and simpler materials.

Office culture and usage

Offices with Friday bars, events, frequent guests, or high activity levels generally require more cleaning than quieter office environments.
