Commercial Cleaning in Boston

Rates in Boston depend on visit frequency, floor area, and bathroom/kitchen count. Small offices pay an hourly rate per cleaner; larger sites negotiate a monthly contract that works out cheaper per visit. Get 2-3 walkthrough quotes to benchmark.

Emptying bins, vacuuming and mopping floors, wiping desks and touchpoints, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, and restocking consumables. Window cleaning, carpet extraction, and floor stripping/polishing are usually scheduled extras.

Reputable companies run signed key registers, alarm-code logs, and vetted staff lists. Ask how keys are stored, who can access your site, and whether staff are background-checked before handing over out-of-hours access.

Three common models: per hour per cleaner (small offices), per square metre/foot per visit (larger spaces), or a fixed monthly contract based on visit frequency. Most quotes are set after a walkthrough that counts desks, bathrooms, kitchens and floor types.

At minimum public liability insurance and employer's/workers' compensation coverage for their staff. Ask for certificates — if an uninsured cleaner is injured on your premises, the liability can land on you.

TUPE regulations can automatically transfer the existing cleaning staff (with their terms) to your new contractor when a contract changes hands on the same site. Good providers will ask about incumbent staff during quoting — a provider that has never heard of TUPE is a warning sign.
