Hello,
I am starting a residential and office cleaning business. I want to charge by the square foot. How much per square foot do I charge for a weekly, bi-weekly and monthly cleaning for offices and residential homes? I also would like to know how much to charge for a fitness gym.
Thanks

In all cleaning you are going to have to though experience and past cleaning of similar places.

What type of floors, do you mop or vac, do you pick up equipment or is it already picked up. Do you take trash out, do you use your equipmnet or thiers,

Have you figured in all of your taxes, including self employment taxes, are you insured, will you have employees if so have you figured in workers comp insurance coverage

Hi, ice26!

As noted above, there are many factors that need to be considered.

There have been many questions on this site where having a cleaning business on the domestic and/or commercial level has been the subject.

If you put the two words, Clough, Cleaning into the search function at the top of this page, you're going to find tons of threads where what to do in various stages of operating a cleaning service are discussed.

The threads that have the most responses would be the best ones to look at. There is one that's titled "cleaning advertising not getting many responses" that might be a particularly good one for you to read the posts on it.
