Office cleaning · Perth
Cleaned after your team has gone home, priced per visit rather than per timesheet, and done by the same two people every week. The after-hours loading is on the quote where you can see it.
Who this is for
Usually an office manager, a practice manager or a partner who did not plan to spend their week thinking about hand towel and carpet. The complaint is rarely that the office is dirty. It is that nobody can say what was supposed to be done.
Office cleaning is a small part of the commercial market by revenue and the largest part by aggravation, because it happens in a building full of people who each notice a different thing. One person cares about the kitchen sink. One cares about the glass in reception. One only ever raises the toilets. A written scope means the answer to all three is the same document rather than three separate opinions. This page covers offices specifically; the pricing method behind it is the same one we use for commercial cleaning across Perth.
Scope
This is the standard office scope. Yours is written specifically for your building after the inspection, area by area, with a frequency against every task.
Desks and horizontal surfaces damp wiped where clear, monitors and screens dusted, chairs and arms wiped, door handles, light switches, lift buttons, handrails, printer panels and shared keyboards disinfected. Touch points are the part that quietly matters and the first thing skipped when a cleaner is behind.
Benches, splashback and sink, tap and drain, cupboard fronts, microwave inside and out, fridge exterior, dishwasher loaded or emptied by arrangement, tables and chairs, bins emptied and liners replaced, floor mopped. Green coded cloths only, never the ones used anywhere near a washroom.
Pans, seats, cisterns and urinals, basins, taps, mirrors, partitions, dispensers refilled, sanitary units checked, floors mopped with a dedicated mop head. Red coded equipment for pans and urinals, yellow for the rest of the room. This is the area that generates complaints faster than any other.
Carpet vacuumed including under desks where accessible, hard floors dust mopped and damp mopped, entry mats lifted and cleaned beneath, internal glass and partitions spot cleaned, entry doors and reception glass done every visit because they are the first thing anyone sees.
Tables reset and wiped, whiteboards cleaned by arrangement, chairs pushed in, cups and rubbish removed, glass walls spot cleaned, reception counter and seating detailed. A meeting room left as the last meeting left it is the single most visible cleaning failure in an office.
Carpet steam extraction at $6.50 per square metre, minimum $220. High dusting and cobweb removal at $72 an hour. Internal window cleaning at $6 a pane. Hard floor scrub and recoat at $6 per square metre, minimum $350. Quoted separately or amortised into the monthly fee so the invoice never jumps.
Cost
Most office cleaning happens after 6pm, and the Cleaning Services Award pays a loading for a shift that finishes after 6pm. A contractor quoting a single flat rate for daytime and evening work is either wearing that loading or has not noticed it yet.
Our standard daytime rate is $58 an hour plus GST. After 6pm it is $64. Overnight, finishing between midnight and 8am, it is $72. Saturday is $78 and Sunday is $95. The rate on your quote is the rate for the window your building actually needs, and the minimum contract is $650 plus GST a month. Sites cleaned five or more times a week take 4 per cent off the hourly rate.
The other number worth knowing is the benchmark: Perth office cleaning generally lands between $2.50 and $6.50 per square metre per month. A quote below that band usually means the hours have been underestimated, and underestimated hours get corrected in month four.
| Service window | Rate, ex GST |
|---|---|
| Mon to Fri, 6am to 6pm | $58.00 |
| After 6pm Mon to Fri | $64.00 |
| Overnight to 8am | $72.00 |
| Saturday | $78.00 |
| Sunday | $95.00 |
| Periodic and deep clean | $68.00 |
Consumables supplied at cost plus 20 per cent. Invoiced monthly in arrears, 14 day terms. Thirty days notice either way after the first three months.
Frequency
Frequency is driven by headcount and washroom traffic, not by floor area. A 400 square metre office with eight people needs less than a 200 square metre office with twenty five.
We will tell you when you are buying more frequency than the building needs. It is a strange sales position and it is the right one, because a client who trusts the recommendation stays for years, and a client sold five nights they did not need cancels in six months.
| Headcount | Suggested frequency |
|---|---|
| Under 10 | Weekly, washrooms twice weekly |
| 10 to 30 | Three times a week |
| 30 to 60 | Five nights a week |
| Over 60 | Five nights plus a day porter |
| Client facing reception | Every visit regardless of headcount |
Where our office clients are
Perth CBD office vacancy sat at 16.9 per cent in February 2026, second highest in the country, while the suburban office market along the eastern corridor kept filling. That is where most of our office work is, and it is fifteen minutes from where we are based.
If your practice is clinical rather than commercial, the scope and the chemical selection change and so does the rate: see medical centre cleaning. If you manage the building rather than occupy it, common property is priced differently again under strata cleaning.
Questions
As a guide, a 100 to 200 square metre office cleaned three times a week is a four figure monthly contract. The variables are floor area, the number of washrooms, the frequency, and whether the work happens before or after 6pm. We give you the real figure after a free inspection, itemised so you can see the hours behind it.
It depends on headcount and washrooms, not on floor area. Under about ten people, a weekly clean with washrooms serviced twice a week usually holds. Between ten and thirty people, three times a week. Above that, nightly. If you are paying for more frequency than the building needs, we will say so.
Yes, and most of our office work runs after 6pm. We will quote the correct after-hours rate rather than pretending the shift costs the same as a daytime one.
Yes. Your office is assigned to named cleaners with a named backup. They learn where the meeting room glass marks, which bin fills first and which door sticks, and none of that transfers to a stranger sent at short notice.
Tell us and we return and rectify it at no charge. We also issue a written quality inspection every month, which means most problems are found by us before they are found by you. If the same issue appears twice at one site, we change the cleaner rather than the excuse.
Yes. Consumables are supplied at cost plus 20 per cent, or you keep buying them yourself, whichever you prefer. Most clients hand it over within a few months, because running out of hand towel on a Friday afternoon is nobody's favourite responsibility.
Our other city
Marlow also works across Melbourne's northern suburbs from a base in Broadmeadows. The equivalent page there is office cleaning in Melbourne. It is priced separately, because Victorian on-costs are not Western Australian ones: Victoria carries a higher workers compensation rate for cleaning and a portable long service benefits levy that Western Australia does not have.
Next step
Send us the floor area, the headcount and the number of washrooms and we will arrange an inspection. The proposal comes back itemised, with the hours shown.
