Example: pricing 4,000 sq ft, 5× per week
At a production rate of 1,800 sq ft per hour with 3 restrooms, one visit takes about 3.0 labor hours. With a $17/hr wage, 20% payroll burden, 5% supplies, 15% overhead and a 20% margin, that is about $92 per visit or $1,981 per month. These are starting assumptions. Change any number above to match your market.
Bidding tips for medical office cleaning
- Never price in handling sharps or biohazard waste unless you are trained and licensed for it; say so in the proposal.
- Production rates are lower than offices. Exam rooms need touch-point disinfection with proper dwell times.
- Mention OSHA bloodborne-pathogen training for your staff; it is a strong differentiator.
Typical medical office cleaning scope of work
- Disinfect exam tables, counters and chairs with EPA-registered disinfectant
- Clean and disinfect restrooms and patient areas
- Empty regular trash (regulated medical waste handled by licensed hauler)
- Damp mop all hard floors with disinfectant
- Clean waiting room seating, door handles and check-in counters
- Spot clean walls and switch plates
- Restock paper towels, soap and sanitizer
This checklist is preloaded into the proposal above. Edit it to match the walk-through.
