What's Included in a Commercial Cleaning Quote?
You requested a quote from a cleaning company and received a proposal. But how do you know if it covers what you actually need — or if you're about to get hit with add-on charges? Here's what a professional commercial cleaning quote should include.
What a Good Quote Covers
- Scope of work: A room-by-room or area-by-area breakdown of what will be cleaned
- Frequency: How often each task is performed (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Pricing: Clear monthly or per-visit cost
- Supplies: Whether cleaning products and equipment are included
- Contract terms: Length of commitment, cancellation policy
- Insurance proof: Confirmation of liability and workers' comp coverage
Red Flags in a Cleaning Quote
- A single lump-sum price with no breakdown of what's included
- No mention of insurance or licensing
- Price given over the phone without seeing the facility
- No cancellation terms or rigid long-term lock-in with penalties
- "Supplies extra" buried in fine print
Questions to Ask When Reviewing a Quote
- What happens if I'm not satisfied with a cleaning?
- Are your employees background-checked?
- Can I adjust the scope or frequency without penalty?
- What's the process for reporting issues?
