Wondering what office cleaning costs in Richmond? Commercial cleaning is priced per square foot — a small base fee plus a rate that drops as your space grows. MaidEX gives Richmond businesses an upfront price online, GST included.
How office cleaning is priced in Richmond
There's a small base call-out fee of $30.00 per visit, plus a rate for each square foot — and that rate drops as your space grows:
| Space size | Rate |

| Medium–Large Store (3,500–7,000 sqft) | $0.04 / sq ft |

Example office cleaning prices in Richmond
Real MaidEX prices per visit, GST included (standard clean, no add-ons):
| Space | Size | Per visit |
|---|---|---|
| Small suite | ~1,200 sq ft · per visit | $157.50 |
| Standard office | ~2,500 sq ft · per visit | $162.75 |

What changes the price
Richmond is full of commercial space — business parks near YVR and Bridgeport, offices around the city centre and Brighouse, and plenty of retail and light-industrial units. Per-square-foot pricing suits that variety, from a compact professional suite to a larger warehouse office.
- Total square footage — the biggest factor, and where the volume rate kicks in.
- How often we clean — recurring service costs less per visit than a one-time clean.
- Rooms needing extra work — kitchens/kitchenettes, bathrooms and shower rooms.
- Add-ons — electronics disinfection, washroom restocking, first-visit deep clean.
After-hours & recurring service
Most Richmond offices prefer cleaning evenings, early mornings or weekends so cleaners aren't underfoot during the workday. A recurring plan keeps the space consistently professional and lowers the per-visit cost.
The tax: only 5% GST
Commercial cleaning in BC is PST-exempt, so in Richmond you pay only the 5% federal GST — no 7% PST on top. Every price above already includes it.
