Calculating the Cost of a Janitorial Service
There are various different factors which will impact the cost of a janitorial service, which is why we at Clean Pros Los Angeles have listed a few to help you decide if you can afford such a service.
- Geographic location. This is because rates for labor are greater in bigger cities and major metropolitan areas. You should expect, however, to pay less than the national average when you are in a smaller town.
- What kind of services do you need? Before you contact any company, you first need to draw up a list of services you want. This will help to give the company a better idea of what to charge you. Janitorial services will usually include mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, waste and trash removal, toilet cleaning, vacuuming, refilling soap dispensers, to name but a few, any extra services will need more labor and supplies, which means more money.
- The number of crew members. How many cleaners are needed to do the work? Bringing additional crew members will obviously increase the cost of any cleaning service. However, a large team could complete the job at hand in a more timely manner.
- Square footage. How much area will need cleaning? For larger jobs, the janitorial service could calculate their quote on the total square footage of the space. However, don’t panic, most will exclude any unused or unoccupied areas which do not need cleaning, such as storage rooms and basements.
- Who provides the cleaning supplies? This is the responsibility of the service, however, make sure you get an itemized list of supplies in your quote.
- Flooring types. The kind of flooring you have will also impact the cost of janitorial services. The likes waxing and carpet steam cleaning will be an additional cost as they do need extra labor and equipment.
