How This Estimate Works

Why a range, not a fixed price?

What is this estimate based on?+
Current Bay Area commercial janitorial market rates, which typically run $0.08–$0.26 per square foot per month depending on building size and cleaning frequency, with facility type adjusting the range further — for example, medical and clinical spaces run 50–70% higher due to enhanced disinfection and compliance requirements. We reviewed multiple 2026 industry pricing guides and Bay Area–specific sources to build this calculator; it's a well-informed starting point, not a substitute for a walkthrough.
Why isn't this my actual price?+
Square footage and frequency are the two biggest cost drivers, but they're not the only ones. The current condition of the space, access hours, number of restrooms, specialized floor types, and any compliance documentation you need can all move the final number up or down. That's exactly what the free walkthrough is for — Prime Clean inspects the actual space and gives you a firm, written quote.
Is there a minimum monthly charge?+
Yes — most Bay Area commercial cleaning accounts, ours included, carry a minimum monthly charge (typically $600–$1,000) to cover scheduling, supervision, and supply overhead, regardless of how small the space is. This calculator applies that floor automatically.
What about government or public-sector facilities?+
Government and municipal contracts are quoted through a formal procurement process rather than a flat rate — see our Government Contracting page for certifications, NAICS codes, and how to request a capability statement.
