Hi i currently own my own cleaning company in ILLINOIS.
I have been cleaning residential homes in Illinois for the past nine months and I am ready to also switch to offices in the night time..

I am just a little confused on what to do for offices though... Sq footage or hourly rates???

I went on a bid a month or so ago for a 6000 sq ft office and decided to charged about .06 for general cleaning and then i told them .09 Cents per sq ft for in depth cleaning.....

I never had received a call ..

u also calle dmy competitors in the area and found oud some are charging 140 hr for cleaning a 2 bedroom condo the first time and some quoted me 100-140 hr which is wayy more than what i charge....

Is offices and residential alike with hourly rates???

Please help THANK YOU!

HI i am from the Chicago area and I am inquiring on how to start bids on offices. I currently own a residential cleaning co in the area that is fully insured and incorporated and I am trying to expand my horizon to commercial offices and I am very unsure on how to bid on these jobs ..and what are good hourly rates.. depending on who supplies the paper towel and supplies....
To if they customer suplies everything.. I just want to know if theres an equation.... or some simple rules to follow...

Any adivce is greatly appreciated..!
