Most office cleaning contracts in Toronto and the GTA cost between $300 and $1,500 per month. A small office cleaned once or twice a week sits at the low end; larger offices, medical clinics and daily cleaning cost more. The price is driven mainly by square footage, visits per week, the type of space, and the number of washrooms and kitchens. For an exact figure, get a written quote after a walkthrough.
Typical office cleaning prices in Toronto
For most small and mid-sized offices in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan and Durham Region, a recurring cleaning contract costs between $300 and $1,500 per month. Where you land in that range depends on how big the space is, how often it is cleaned and how much work each visit involves.
Commercial cleaning is almost always quoted as a monthly price for a defined schedule (for example, three evenings a week). Behind that number is an estimate of how many labour hours each visit takes. That is why two offices of the same size can receive very different quotes: a quiet 2,000 sq. ft. office with one washroom is far less work than a busy 2,000 sq. ft. clinic with four exam rooms.
The 5 factors that drive the price
1. Square footage
More space means more time per visit. Cost per square foot usually drops as offices get larger, because open areas are faster to clean than small rooms.
2. Visits per week
Frequency has the biggest effect on the monthly total. Cleaning five times a week costs more per month than once a week — but each visit is lighter, and the office never gets to the point where it needs a deep clean.
3. Type of space
Medical and dental offices take longer because of healthcare-grade disinfection and cross-contamination procedures. Warehouses need floor equipment. Standard offices and condo common areas sit in between. See our guide to medical office cleaning standards.
4. Washrooms and kitchens
These are the most labour-intensive rooms in any building. An office with four washrooms and two break rooms will cost noticeably more than an open-plan office of the same size with one of each.
5. Extras and access
Floor stripping and waxing, carpet extraction, interior glass, after-hours security procedures and tight time windows are usually priced separately or affect the base price.

How to compare cleaning quotes
- Ask for a written scope of work: which rooms, which tasks, how often. Compare quotes line by line.
- Check the hours behind the price: a quote that is far below the others usually assumes fewer hours than your space needs.
- Confirm insurance and WHMIS training: the cleaning company should be insured and bonded and use WHMIS-compliant products.
- Ask how quality is checked: regular inspections and a clear way to report issues matter more than a low hourly rate. Our free 60-point inspection checklist helps you check any provider.
- Check what is included: supplies, consumables (paper towels, soap) and HST.
How to lower your cleaning cost
- Match the schedule to how the office is really used — hybrid teams often don't need cleaning on low-occupancy days.
- Keep daily attention on washrooms, kitchens and entrances; clean low-use rooms less often.
- Book periodic deep work (carpets, floors) on a schedule instead of waiting until it is urgent.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does office cleaning cost per month in Toronto?
Most office cleaning contracts in Toronto and the GTA fall between $300 and $1,500 per month. Larger offices, medical clinics or daily cleaning can cost more.
Is office cleaning charged per hour or per square foot?
Ongoing office cleaning is usually quoted as a fixed monthly price based on the labour hours your space and schedule require. One-time jobs such as post-construction cleaning are often priced per square foot.
How often should an office in Toronto be cleaned?
Most offices are cleaned three to five times a week, with washrooms and kitchens getting daily attention. Small or hybrid offices with few people on site may only need one or two visits a week.
Why are some cleaning quotes much cheaper than others?
Very low quotes often leave out tasks (high-touch disinfection, detail dusting, floor care), assume fewer hours than the space needs, or exclude insurance and supervision. Compare quotes on a written scope of work, not on price alone.
Is HST included in commercial cleaning quotes?
Commercial cleaning quotes in Ontario are normally given before HST (13%). Check each quote to see whether supplies and consumables are included.
