Office cleaning in Palm Beach County is priced as a recurring contract, not a one-time job. Two factors dominate the cost: your office’s square footage and how often you want it cleaned.
Sunset Shine’s weekly office cleaning starts at $120 per visit for spaces up to 1,000 square feet, $180 for 1,000 to 2,500 square feet, and $280 for 2,500 to 5,000 square feet. Anything larger receives a custom quote following a free walkthrough.
Why Square Footage and Frequency Matter Most
The per-visit rate is what you’ll budget around, since it repeats every week, every other week, or monthly for the life of your contract. Square footage drives the cost because it drives the time a crew needs to vacuum, wipe down, empty trash, and sanitize your space. A 4,000-square-foot suite requires more minutes than a 900-square-foot office, and the rate reflects that labor difference.
The relationship between size and cost isn’t perfectly linear, though. Larger offices cost more per visit in total dollars, but they typically cost less per square foot. Certain tasks – restroom servicing, entryway cleaning, setup – take roughly the same amount of time regardless of how much open floor space surrounds them.
Frequency works as an independent lever. A weekly clean, bi-weekly clean, and monthly clean all cost different amounts per visit, because less frequent service usually means more buildup to address, even though your total monthly spend is often lower than cleaning every week.
Sunset Shine’s Weekly Starting Rates
| Office Size | Per-Visit Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 1,000 sq ft | $120 |
| 1,000–2,500 sq ft | $180 |
| 2,500–5,000 sq ft | $280 |
| 5,000+ sq ft | Custom quote |
These are starting rates for weekly service. Bi-weekly and monthly schedules are available too, with per-visit pricing calculated for each office since the cost shifts when you reduce visit frequency.
Nightly or daily cleaning, common for offices with heavy foot traffic, medical-adjacent uses, or shared common areas, functions more like janitorial coverage than a periodic clean and is priced separately from standard weekly contracts.
How Visit Frequency Changes Your Monthly Spend
| Frequency | Per-Visit Cost | Total Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | Lower (starting rates above) | Higher (4+ visits) |
| Bi-weekly | Moderate, slightly higher per visit | Moderate (2 visits) |
| Monthly | Highest per visit | Lowest (1 visit) |
| Nightly/daily | Varies | Highest (20+ visits) |
Weekly rates form the baseline. Bi-weekly and monthly rates are set per office during your quote process, since the per-visit price adjusts based on reduced frequency.
Other Factors That Shift the Price
Square footage and frequency set the baseline, but these additional factors can move your final quote up or down:
- Number of employees – More people means more desk area, more breakroom use, and more restroom traffic to service.
- Specialty surfaces – Tile, hardwood, and glass often need different products and more time than standard carpet or laminate.
- Supply costs – Offices with heavier consumable use (paper products, hand soap, trash liners) may affect the quote.
- Restroom and kitchen density – More restrooms, kitchens, or breakroom stations add cleaning time regardless of overall square footage.
- After-hours vs. daytime access – Scheduling around business hours versus after-hours can affect how a visit is structured.
These factors are assessed together during the walkthrough, not assigned fixed dollar values in isolation. They’re weighed against your actual square footage and chosen frequency to reach your final per-visit rate.
Size-Based Pricing Tiers Explained
- Up to 1,000 sq ft – Small offices, single-suite businesses, professional practices
- 1,000–2,500 sq ft – Mid-size offices, small teams across multiple rooms
- 2,500–5,000 sq ft – Larger suites, multi-department offices, higher foot traffic
- 5,000+ sq ft – Custom quote based on layout, employee count, and specialty areas
If you’re unsure which tier your office falls into, a rough measurement from your floor plan or lease document is usually close enough for a starting estimate. The exact number gets confirmed during the walkthrough.
Getting Your Actual Quote
The pricing tiers above are starting rates. Your final figure depends on the exact combination of square footage, frequency, and secondary factors. The most reliable way to get a number you can budget around is a free walkthrough, where square footage is confirmed, restroom and kitchen areas are counted, and any specialty surfaces are noted before a price is locked in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is office cleaning billed per visit or as a contract?
Office cleaning is priced as a recurring contract with a per-visit rate. You receive a starting rate per visit based on square footage and frequency, and that rate repeats on your chosen schedule – weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
Does a bigger office cost more per visit?
Yes, a bigger office costs more per visit in total dollars, since more square footage means more time to clean. On a per-square-foot basis, larger offices typically cost less because some tasks take a similar amount of time regardless of the space’s size.
How often should an office be professionally cleaned?
That depends on foot traffic and use. Many offices do well on a weekly schedule, while lower-traffic spaces may be fine bi-weekly or monthly, and high-traffic or shared spaces sometimes need nightly or daily service. A walkthrough is the best way to match frequency to your actual use.
What’s included in a custom office cleaning quote?
A custom quote accounts for square footage, chosen frequency, number of employees, specialty surfaces like tile or hardwood, restroom and kitchen density, and access scheduling. It’s confirmed during a free walkthrough rather than estimated over the phone.
