How to hire a commercial cleaning pro in United States
- Verify general liability insurance and workers' compensation — ask for COIs naming your business
- Confirm employees are W-2 or clearly disclosed subcontractors; misclassified labor is a liability risk
- Walk the site together and get pricing per visit and per month in writing with a task list
- Ask about OSHA-compliant chemical handling and SDS sheets kept on site
- Check references from similar-sized facilities
- Agree a key/alarm protocol and background-check policy for staff
Frequently asked questions
Can cleaning happen outside business hours?
Yes — evening and early-morning service is standard for offices so cleaning doesn't disrupt staff. Out-of-hours access requires a key/alarm protocol; some companies charge a small premium for late-night or weekend slots.
What is the difference between janitorial and commercial cleaning?
Janitorial usually means recurring day-to-day cleaning (bins, floors, bathrooms), while commercial cleaning also covers periodic heavy work: carpet extraction, hard-floor machine scrubbing, high-level dusting, and post-construction cleans.
How do commercial cleaning contracts handle keys and alarms?
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.
What insurance should a commercial cleaning company carry?
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.
Should I hire a cleaning company or an in-house cleaner?
Under roughly 10-15 hours of cleaning per week, a contracted company is usually cheaper once you count payroll, insurance, cover for absences, and equipment. In-house starts to win for large single sites with full-time cleaning need.
How often should an office be cleaned?
A typical small office books 2-5 visits per week; high-traffic spaces with shared kitchens and customer areas usually need daily service. Bathrooms and touchpoints drive frequency more than floor area does.
What does a standard office cleaning visit include?
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.
Is commercial cleaning taxable in the US?
Depends on the state. Texas, New York, New Jersey and several others tax janitorial services; many states don't. Confirm whether your quote is inclusive of state sales tax so monthly invoices don't surprise you.
