Question 1

How is commercial cleaning priced in Vancouver?

Accepted Answer

Commercial cleaning is priced on the size of your space (square footage), how often you clean, the scope of the work and the condition of the space — not a one-size-fits-all rate. For offices, MaidEX gives you an instant online price by the square foot, and larger or specialized facilities get a custom quote. See our office cleaning cost guide for a full breakdown of what shapes the price.

Question 2

Is there a minimum for commercial cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Recurring visits carry a small per-visit minimum so it's worthwhile to send a team out and do the job properly. Very small spaces are custom-quoted rather than forced into a fixed rate. The easiest way to see where your space lands is to get an instant office price online.

Question 3

Is recurring cleaning cheaper than a one-time clean?

Accepted Answer

Per visit, usually yes. Recurring visits typically work out lower per visit because less builds up between cleans, so each visit is lighter and quicker. A one-time or first-time clean often takes longer because it's resetting a space that hasn't been maintained on a schedule. Most businesses use a recurring plan for upkeep and a one-time deep clean as a periodic reset.

Question 4

Do different industries cost different amounts?

Accepted Answer

They can. Two spaces of the same size can price differently depending on scope — a busy clinic with more washrooms, more sanitizing of high-touch points and daily service costs more than a quiet back office cleaned weekly. Industry mostly affects price through frequency and scope rather than a separate rate card.

Question 5

What's included in a standard commercial clean?

Accepted Answer

A standard visit covers the areas people see and use every day: reception and entrances, desks and workstations, meeting rooms and shared spaces, kitchens and break rooms, washrooms cleaned and restocked, floors vacuumed and mopped, trash and recycling emptied, and high-touch points disinfected. See the full commercial cleaning checklist for the room-by-room detail.

Question 6

What add-ons can I schedule beyond a regular clean?

Accepted Answer

Common add-ons include extra sanitization of high-touch surfaces, interior window and glass cleaning, and appliance interiors. These are periodic tasks most spaces don't need on every visit, so you add them when they make sense rather than paying for them every time.

Question 7

What's the difference between deep and regular commercial cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Regular cleaning keeps a space maintained on a schedule — the everyday surfaces, floors and washrooms. A deep clean is a more thorough reset that reaches build-up regular visits don't touch as often, like detailed edges, vents, appliance interiors and heavier floor work. Many businesses run regular cleaning with an occasional deep clean layered on top.

Question 8

How do you know exactly what will get cleaned each visit?

Accepted Answer

Every commercial job follows the same documented checklist, so the scope is the same on every visit and nothing gets missed. You can review the full checklist and our step-by-step process before you book, and adjust the scope to fit your space.

Question 9

How often should we have our space cleaned?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your size, headcount, foot traffic, public access and industry. Most Vancouver offices land between weekly and several times a week, while high-traffic, public or health-adjacent spaces are cleaned daily. Our frequency guide walks through how to match a schedule to your space.

Question 10

Can you clean after hours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We clean evenings, early mornings and weekends so cleaning never interrupts your team's day. After-hours service is standard for offices, clinics, retail and buildings across the Lower Mainland.

Question 11

How fast can you start?

Accepted Answer

For most standard offices you can get an instant price and book online right away, and we'll confirm your start. Larger or specialized facilities get a quick custom quote first. Either way, getting started doesn't require a drawn-out sales process.

Question 12

Can we change our schedule or scope later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Recurring plans are flexible — you can move to more or fewer visits, adjust the scope, or add periodic deep cleans as your space and headcount change. Many businesses start with one rhythm and fine-tune it over the first few weeks.

Question 13

Are your cleaners insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every MaidEX cleaner is fully insured and background-checked, so you can trust our team with keys, alarm codes and sensitive spaces. We're locally owned in Vancouver and serve businesses across the Lower Mainland.

Question 14

How do you check quality on each visit?

Accepted Answer

Two ways. Every job follows the same consistent checklist so the scope never drifts, and our cleaners photo-document the work through our Spot Report, so you get a clear record of what was done. That combination keeps quality steady over time instead of slipping between visits.

Question 15

Do you clean medical and dental offices?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we provide environmental cleaning for dental and medical clinics: reception, treatment rooms, washrooms, floors and high-touch points, typically after hours. To be clear, this is environmental cleaning, not clinical instrument sterilization, which clinics handle in-house with their own protocols.

Question 16

Is MaidEX locally owned?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MaidEX is a locally owned Vancouver commercial cleaner serving businesses throughout the Lower Mainland. You book online, deal with a local team, and get consistent, insured, background-checked service on a recurring schedule.
