How much does commercial cleaning cost in Los Angeles?

Published Los Angeles market bands run about $0.14–$0.26 per sq ft per month for Class B office buildings and $0.19–$0.34 for Class A. Small offices under 3,000 sq ft cleaned three times a week typically land between $400 and $900 a month, and commercial janitorial contracts commonly run $2,400–$6,400+ a month. Your number depends on square footage, nights per week, restroom count and flooring. We put it in writing within 48 hours of the walkthrough, with the scope attached.

Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

We are bonded and carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance — certificate of insurance, additional-insured endorsement, bond and W-9 are all available before you sign. One correction to what you may have read elsewhere: California does not issue a general janitorial licence. Commercial janitorial employers register with the Labor Commissioner under AB 1978 instead, and that registration is publicly verifiable. We will give you our registration details on request.

Do you clean medical and dental offices?

Yes. Clinical sites run on a written protocol: EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant at the correct dwell time, colour-coded microfiber with zone separation, OSHA bloodborne-pathogen trained crews, a signed HIPAA Business Associate Agreement and a cleaning log left after every visit.

How quickly can you start?

Walkthrough within a few days, written scope and price within 48 hours of it, and most sites start within a week. If you have an urgent handover or a failed vendor, call us — we keep capacity for exactly that.

Pricing and how we quote

We will not publish a rate card, because a rate card is how buildings end up paying for rooms they do not use. We will publish the market bands, the variables that move your number, and the promise to put your actual price in writing within 48 hours of the walkthrough.

Segments

The same square footage, priced two different ways

Published segment rates for identical floor area spread roughly 2× across building types. The difference is the compliance work, not the mopping — which is why a clinic pays more than a shop of the same size, and why we ask what the building is before we ask how big it is.

Medical & healthcare$0.14–$0.29 per sq ft / month
Documented protocol, EPA-registered disinfectant, signed log per visit

Office$0.14–$0.34 per sq ft / month
Class B and Class A published bands

Retail$0.07–$0.15 per sq ft / month
Open-floor plans, fewer restrooms per square foot

Schools & childcare$0.07–$0.14 per sq ft / month
Large open rooms, daytime or after-hours

Variables

Exactly what moves your price

Everything in this table is something you control. Ask us what happens to the number if you change it — we will show you the arithmetic.

Square footageThe primary driver. We measure it at the walkthrough rather than trusting a listing.

Nights per weekTwo, three, five or six. The single biggest lever you control.

RestroomsCount and fixture count — restrooms are the most labour-dense part of any scope.

FlooringCarpet, sealed concrete, VCT, tile or hardwood decide what equipment and time the job needs.

Day or nightNight crews are standard. Day porter service costs more and solves a different problem.

Frequency of deep workCarpet extraction, strip-and-wax and high dusting are quoted as scheduled line items.

Special requirementsClinical protocol, security clearance, badge access, elevators, after-hours escort.

Contract lengthMonth to month is our default and it does not carry a premium.

Your quote

What you get, and when

Within 48 hours of the walkthrough — a written scope of work listing every task and its frequency, the schedule, and one fixed monthly price.
Optional lines priced separately — carpet extraction, strip and wax, high dusting, day porter. You can decline any of them.
Nothing that renews itself — month to month, 30 days' notice, no liquidated damages, price locked for the first 12 months.
Project work — post-construction, extraction and floor care are quoted by the square foot after we see the floor and the access.
