Office Cleaning Service
Provide janitorial services for office buildings and corporate facilities handling nightly cleaning, trash removal, and facility maintenance
Overview
Office cleaning services provide janitorial services for office buildings and corporate spaces - nightly cleaning, trash removal, restroom sanitizing, floor care, and facility maintenance.
You work after business hours maintaining clean professional environments.
Contracts typically charge $0.10-$0.25 per square foot monthly or flat monthly rates of $500-$5,000+ per location.
Servicing 20-60 office locations generates $150,000-$600,000 annually with 35-50% margins after labor and supplies.
Target clients include office buildings and business parks, small to mid-size companies, professional services firms (law, accounting), shared workspace operators, and commercial property managers.
Services include nightly office cleaning, restroom cleaning and stocking, trash and recycling removal, floor vacuuming and mopping, kitchen and break room cleaning, and window and glass cleaning.
Success requires reliable quality cleaning crews, working night shifts and weekends, quality control and inspection systems, building relationships with office managers and property managers, competitive bidding on janitorial contracts, and potentially offering day porter services.
Many office cleaning services start with smaller offices, build portfolio of recurring contracts, hire and train cleaning crews, use janitorial management software for scheduling and quality control, potentially offer specialized services like carpet cleaning or floor stripping, and scale through multiple cleaning teams servicing different locations nightly.
