Example: pricing 6,000 sq ft, 2× per week
At a production rate of 2,500 sq ft per hour with 2 restrooms, one visit takes about 2.9 labor hours. With a $17/hr wage, 20% payroll burden, 5% supplies, 15% overhead and a 20% margin, that is about $89 per visit or $773 per month. These are starting assumptions. Change any number above to match your market.
Bidding tips for auto repair shop cleaning
- Price shop bays separately; degreasing floors is a different job with different equipment.
- Grease tracks into the lobby. Budget extra mopping time.
- Restroom condition is the top complaint at shops. Make it your selling point.

- Clean customer waiting area and coffee station
- Clean and sanitize restrooms
