Commercial cleaning guide
What is included in commercial office cleaning?
A standard commercial office clean covers the areas your team and visitors use every day: reception and common areas, desks and workstations, meeting rooms, the kitchen or breakroom, and washrooms cleaned and restocked. It also includes floors vacuumed and mopped, trash and recycling emptied, high-touch surfaces disinfected, and general dusting. In short, it's a repeatable maintenance clean that keeps a workspace consistently presentable — while detail work like a one-time deep clean is usually quoted as an add-on.
Included vs. add-on
What's in a standard clean — and what's extra
Every commercial cleaning company draws the line a little differently. Here's how MaidEX splits a routine office clean from the detail work most businesses only need occasionally.

Add-ons aren't hidden fees — they're services you choose. When you book with MaidEX, any extras you need are quoted with the job up front, so the price you approve is the price you pay. Not sure what your space needs? Our team can walk your Vancouver or Lower Mainland office and recommend a scope.
Scope & frequency
Every office clean is scoped to the space
Two offices of the same size can need very different cleans. A busy Vancouver co-working floor with high foot traffic will need more frequent washroom and kitchen attention than a quiet suite of private offices. That's why the checklist above is the starting point, not a fixed package — we adjust the scope and frequency to match how your team actually uses the space.
Recurring service is where a standard clean shines. Daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly visits keep the same checklist running consistently, and recurring plans are priced per visit and typically work out lower per visit than one-off cleans.
Size
Total square footage and the number of washrooms, kitchens and rooms to cover.
Frequency
How often you clean — daily, weekly or monthly — changes both scope and price.

FAQ
Commercial cleaning questions
What is included in a standard commercial office clean?
A standard office clean covers reception and common areas, desks and workstations, meeting rooms, the kitchen or breakroom, washrooms cleaned and restocked, floors vacuumed and mopped, trash and recycling emptied, high-touch disinfection and general dusting. It's the recurring maintenance clean that keeps a workspace consistently presentable.
What is usually an add-on rather than part of a standard clean?
Detail-level work is typically quoted separately — a sanitization package, one-time deep cleaning, shower rooms, disinfecting electronics, restocking bathroom supplies, and cleaning the inside of fridges or appliances. At MaidEX these are optional extras added to your quote based on what your space actually needs.
How often should a Vancouver office be cleaned?
It depends on foot traffic and headcount. Busy Lower Mainland offices often book daily or a few times a week, while smaller teams do well with weekly or bi-weekly recurring service. MaidEX runs the same checklist on every visit so quality stays consistent whatever the frequency.
How much does commercial office cleaning cost?
There's no single flat price — cost depends on the size of the space, how often you clean, the scope of work and the current condition. For a realistic range and the factors that move the number, see our office cleaning cost guide for Vancouver.
Can you clean after business hours?
Yes. MaidEX offers after-hours and weekend cleaning across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland so the work happens without interrupting your team, and every visit can be photo-documented through our Spot Report QA.
