Example: pricing 3,500 sq ft, 5× per week
At a production rate of 1,600 sq ft per hour with 2 restrooms, one visit takes about 2.7 labor hours. With a $17/hr wage, 20% payroll burden, 5% supplies, 15% overhead and a 20% margin, that is about $83 per visit or $1,792 per month. These are starting assumptions. Change any number above to match your market.
Bidding tips for veterinary clinic cleaning
- Ask which areas are off limits: surgery suites and pharmacy are usually staff-only.
- Fur and dander slow everything down. Use a lower production rate than a human medical office.
- Confirm which disinfectants the clinic approves; some are unsafe around animals.
Typical veterinary clinic cleaning scope of work
- Disinfect exam room tables, counters and floors (non-clinical surfaces)
- Clean and deodorize lobby and waiting areas
- Clean and sanitize restrooms
- Mop all hard floors with disinfectant, including kennel corridors
- Empty trash (medical waste handled by licensed hauler)
- Clean entry glass and door handles
- Spot clean walls and baseboards
