Commercial Cleaning in Roodepoort

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Contract cleaning has its own sectoral minimum wage, set above the national minimum wage and adjusted annually (with metro/non-metro tiers). A quote that could only work below those rates signals non-compliance — ask how many cleaner-hours your price buys.
