Office cleaning rates in Edmonton: how the three billing models compare
Three billing models for Edmonton office cleaning — flat per-visit, per-square-foot, and hourly. Typical 2026 numbers and which one we use.
TL;DR
Edmonton offices in 2026 see three common billing models. Flat per-visit by tier (our model — $180–$450 depending on square footage) is the most predictable. Flat per-sq-ft ($0.18–$0.28) is common at larger contracts. Hourly per cleaner ($40–$60) is still used for variable scope or post-construction work.
Office cleaning pricing is more flexible than residential because scope varies dramatically. Three main models cover most situations.
The three models
- Flat per visit by tier — one number per visit, sized by office square footage. Easiest to budget; what we use.
- Flat per square foot per visit — typically $0.18–$0.28 in Edmonton. Common on contracts above 5,000 sq ft with predictable scope.
- Hourly per cleaner — typically $40–$60 in Edmonton. Right for one-off variable scope (post-construction, after-event reset) and short-term commercial.
Edmonton 2026 numbers
Hourly rates range $40–$60 per cleaner per hour, with $45–$55 being typical for established companies. Flat per-sq-ft rates range $0.18–$0.28 per visit, with $0.22 being a common median. Our office cleaning tiers — Small office (≤1000 sq ft) $180–$220, Medium (1000–2500) $265–$355, Large (2500–5000) $355–$400, XL (5000+) $400–$450 — sit right on the per-sq-ft median for predictable office scope.
How to evaluate a switch
If you're on hourly today, track average cost per visit for 8 weeks and divide by office square footage. If the per-sq-ft number is stable within 15% week-to-week, switching to a flat tier is reasonable. If it varies more than 20%, scope is too variable — stay on hourly until the office stabilizes.
Frequently asked
- Should small offices just hire a part-time cleaner directly?
- If the office is ≤2,000 sq ft and you have HR capacity, sometimes yes. Below that, the overhead of payroll, supplies and supervision usually outweighs the saving.
- Is GST charged on commercial cleaning?
- Yes — commercial cleaning services are GST-applicable at 5%. Most quotes are presented exclusive of GST, then GST added at invoice.
- Do you provide supplies for offices?
- Cleaning supplies are included. Paper goods (toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap) we can manage or your office can buy directly — your call.
- Can I get a quote before signing a contract?
- Yes — a walk-through quote is free. We can give a written number within 24 hours of seeing the space.
