commercial cleaning pricing
Transparent rates, sample quotes and the factors that determine cost
Superboss Commercial Cleaning provides tailored pricing for offices, retail, medical centres, industrial sites and strata. Below you'll find simple pricing models, sample quotes, explanations of how costs are calculated and ways to lower ongoing cleaning expenses without compromising quality.
How commercial cleaning pricing usually works
We use transparent pricing models so you can choose what best fits your business: per-square-metre (sqm), hourly team rates, or fixed package pricing for regular schedules. Below are typical approaches, with examples and tips to estimate your cost.
Per-Square-Metre Pricing
Common for routine office and retail cleans. A simple, predictable model when scope is primarily floor area.
- Typical range: $0.80 – $3.00 per sqm (depending on frequency & service level)
- Best for: regular daily/weekly contracts
Hourly / Team-Based Rates
Used when jobs vary by tasks (deep cleans, events, one-off projects) or where team size matters.
- Typical hourly team rates: $90 – $260 per hour (team), depending on number of cleaners and tasks
- Best for: deep cleans, event cleans, short-notice jobs
Fixed Packages
Bundled services with a predictable monthly fee — useful for budgeting and for businesses who want consistent service levels.
- Examples: Starter, Standard, Premium packages with different inclusions
- Best for: multi-site contracts, facilities managers seeking consistency
Common Add-ons (priced separately)
- Carpet steam cleaning: quoted per room or per sqm
- Window & high-level cleaning: quoted by height & access requirements
- Medical-grade disinfection and waste handling: specialist rates
- One-off deep cleans & event cleans: hourly or project quote
Discounts & Contracts
We offer tiered discounts for:
- Higher frequency (daily vs fortnightly)
- Multi-site and long-term contracts
- Bulk add-ons bundled into packages

Pricing FAQ
Answers to common questions about commercial cleaning price, contracts and quotes.
How long does it take to get a quote?
Most quotes are provided within 24–48 hours after a site assessment or detailed information (sqm, frequency, special requirements). For straightforward sites we often provide estimates from photos and floorplans.
Do you charge for site visits?
Site assessments are usually free for commercial proposals. For remote or complex sites we may arrange an in-person visit and itemise any travel costs in the proposal.
Can pricing change after signing a contract?
We provide clear terms. Prices remain fixed for the agreed contract period unless the scope changes (e.g. added areas, increased frequency) or exceptional cost changes occur — you’ll be notified before any change is implemented.
Do you provide itemised invoices?
Yes — every invoice is itemised by service, frequency, consumables and any one-off charges so your accounting team can reconcile quickly.
