Commercial cleaning prices on the Gulf Coast
Commercial cleaning on Florida's Gulf Coast generally runs $0.10–$0.20 per square foot per visit, which works out to roughly $300–$2,800+ per month depending on the size of your space, how often you need service, and the type of facility. Below are real ranges by facility type and unit size — your exact price comes from a free consultation.
Commercial cleaning: monthly cost by facility
Recurring commercial cleaning is usually billed as a flat monthly rate built from per-square-foot math. These are typical Gulf Coast ranges before Florida sales tax:
| Facility | Size | Frequency | Est. monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small office | 2,500 sq ft | 2×/week | $450–$750 |
| Mid-size office | 6,000 sq ft | 3×/week | $1,200–$2,000 |
| Medical / dental suite | 3,000 sq ft | 5×/week | $1,500–$2,600 |
| Retail / showroom | 4,000 sq ft | 3×/week | $800–$1,500 |

Airbnb & VRBO turnover pricing
Short-term rental turnovers are priced per turnover by unit size and linen load. Most hosts pass this through to guests as a cleaning fee:
| Unit size | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | $75–$130 per turnover |
| 2-bedroom | $120–$180 per turnover |
| 3-bedroom+ home | $175–$300+ per turnover |
What drives the price
- Facility type — medical and dental spaces are cleaned to a higher standard, so they cost more per square foot.
- Frequency — more visits per week cost more per month, but usually less per visit.
- Scope — restroom restocking, floor care, glass, and breakroom detail all add up.
- After-hours access — overnight crews and badge/security requirements can nudge the rate.
- Condition — a neglected space may need a one-time deep clean before recurring service.
The Florida rule most guides miss: sales tax
Florida charges state sales tax on nonresidential (commercial) cleaning — 6% plus your county surtax, so roughly 6.5–7.5% on the Gulf Coast. It is added on top of your price as a pass-through, not extra margin. Residential cleaning is exempt; offices, retail, and medical are taxable.

Pricing questions
Why do cleaners quote a flat monthly price instead of hourly?
A flat monthly rate is built from the size, frequency, and scope of your space. It protects you from surprise hourly bills and keeps the cleaner accountable to a defined scope rather than the clock — which is why it is the standard for recurring commercial accounts.
Is a one-time deep clean priced separately from recurring service?
Usually, yes. A neglected space often needs a one-time deep clean to bring it to standard before recurring service begins, and that is quoted on its own. After that, the recurring flat monthly rate maintains it.
Do prices include cleaning supplies and equipment?
For recurring commercial and turnover cleaning, supplies and equipment are typically included in the quoted price. Any specialty consumables you want stocked (for example, specific paper or soap brands) are agreed up front and itemized in the scope.
Does the price include Florida sales tax?
Florida charges sales tax on commercial (non-residential) cleaning — 6% plus your county surtax. A reputable cleaner adds it on top of the price as a pass-through and remits it to the state; residential cleaning is exempt.
