How to Get a Commercial Cleaning Quote: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide
Requesting a commercial cleaning quote should be straightforward. This guide explains what information you need, what to expect, and how to evaluate the proposal you receive.
Step 1: Know the Basics About Your Space
Before filling out a quote request, gather the following information. You do not need precise measurements ? estimates are fine at this stage:
- Approximate square footage of the space to be cleaned
- Number of employees or regular occupants
- Types of spaces (offices, restrooms, break rooms, lobbies, conference rooms)
- Your city or address
- Preferred cleaning frequency (daily, weekly, one-time, etc.)
Step 2: Identify Your Specific Needs
Think about any requirements beyond standard office cleaning:
- Medical or healthcare environment (requires specific protocols)
- Post-construction situation (requires specialized deep cleaning)
- Preference for eco-friendly or non-toxic products
- Special security or access requirements
- Move-in or move-out situation
Step 3: Submit Your Request
Fill out BuffAway’s quote request form with the information above. The more detail you provide, the more accurate and useful the initial proposal will be. You can always adjust the scope after a walkthrough.
Step 4: What Happens After You Submit
- Within one business day: A BuffAway specialist reviews your request and may reach out with clarifying questions.
- Within 1?2 business days: You receive a written proposal with a defined scope of work and transparent pricing.
- Optional: We can schedule a walkthrough of your facility to refine the scope before finalizing the proposal.
Step 5: Evaluating the Proposal
A professional commercial cleaning proposal should include: a specific scope of work checklist, cleaning frequency, pricing per visit or per month, insurance confirmation, and a clear onboarding process. If any of these are missing, ask for them before signing.
