Example: pricing 10,000 sq ft, 1× per week
At a production rate of 3,200 sq ft per hour with 3 restrooms, one visit takes about 3.9 labor hours. With a $17/hr wage, 20% payroll burden, 5% supplies, 15% overhead and a 20% margin, that is about $119 per visit or $517 per month. These are starting assumptions. Change any number above to match your market.
Bidding tips for church cleaning
- Ask about event schedules: weddings and funerals may need extra cleans you can price per event.
- Sanctuaries clean fast; nurseries and kitchens are where time goes.
- Offer a small nonprofit discount; churches talk to each other.
