What is the average cost for office cleaning in Houston?

For standard office cleaning in Houston (2026), expect to pay between $0.10 and $0.20 per square foot for smaller offices (<2,000 sq ft). Rates decrease per square foot as the office size increases.

How much does medical office cleaning cost?

Medical offices typically cost 15-20% more than standard offices due to OSHA compliance, specialized disinfection protocols (HIPAA), and waste handling requirements.

Is hourly or flat rate better for office cleaning?

A flat monthly rate is generally better for budgeting and ensures the job is finished to standard regardless of how long it takes. Hourly rates ($35-$50/hr) are better for one-time deep cleans.

Pricing transparency is rare in commercial cleaning. Most sites just say "Call for a Quote." This guide pulls back the curtain on actual 2026 market rates for North Houston, Spring, and The Woodlands.

Average Cost Per Square Foot (Houston 2026)

The biggest factor in your price is size, but it is not linear. As your square footage goes up, the price per square foot typically goes down.

Office Size	Approx. Sq. Ft.	Est. Price / Sq. Ft.	Monthly Range (Weekly)
Small Office	Under 2,000 sq ft	$0.12 - $0.20	$200 - $450 / mo
Medium Office	2,000 - 10,000 sq ft	$0.08 - $0.15	$450 - $1,200 / mo
Large Facility	10,000+ sq ft	$0.05 - $0.10	$1,500+ / mo

💡

Pro Tip: These ranges assume standard frequency (1-2 times per week). Daily service will increase the total monthly cost but significantly lower the cost-per-visit.

Hourly Rates vs. Flat Monthly Fees

Most professional cleaning companies in North Houston prefer Flat Monthly Rates. This protects you: if the cleaner is slow one day, you don't pay more. The job is results-based.

📄 Flat Monthly Rate

Best for: Recurring maintenance.

You pay a set fee (e.g., $350/mo) for a specific checklist. It simplifies your Accounts Payable and ensures consistency regardless of time taken.

⏱️ Hourly Rate ($35-$50/hr)

Best for: One-time deep cleans.

For "Spring Cleans" or move-outs, legitimate bonded services in Houston charge $35 to $50 per man-hour to cover insurance and taxes.

3 Factors That Spike Your Quote

Two offices with the exact same square footage can have very different prices. Here is why:

"Wet" Density (Restrooms & Kitchens): A 2,000 sq ft warehouse with 1 bathroom is cheap. A 2,000 sq ft office with 4 bathrooms and a large breakroom costs 30% more. Plumbing fixtures take the most time to sanitize.
Floor Type: Carpet is fast (vacuuming covers ground quickly). Tile requires sweeping, mopping, and occasional buffing, which is more labor-intensive.
Frequency: Increasing from "Weekly" to "Daily" does not multiply your price by 5. It usually triples it. You get a volume discount on frequency.

Special Section: Medical Office Costs

If you run a clinic, dental practice, or urgent care in areas like Cypress Creek or The Woodlands, expect to pay a 15-20% premium over standard office rates.

Why does medical cost more?

Compliance: Staff must be trained in OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens.
Chemicals: Hospital-grade disinfectants cost more than general cleaners.
Liability: Insurance premiums are higher for medical environments.

Pricing FAQ

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Many franchises require a 1-year contract. Local providers (like Kassandra's) often offer month-to-month agreements because we believe our quality should keep you, not a signature.

Does the price include supplies?

Yes. A professional quote should always include cleaning solutions, rags, mops, and vacuums. You usually only provide the "consumables" (toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, and trash liners).
