How to Write a Commercial Cleaning Bid

A commercial cleaning bid — sometimes called a cleaning proposal or commercial cleaning contract — is a formal document that outlines what cleaning services you'll provide, how often, and how much you'll charge. A well-written bid helps you win more commercial accounts and protects you if disputes arise.

What to Include in a Commercial Cleaning Bid

  • Executive Summary — A brief overview of your company and what makes you the right choice for the job.
  • Scope of Work — A detailed list of every cleaning task you'll perform.
  • Cleaning Schedule — The days and times your team will clean.
  • Pricing Table — A breakdown of costs per visit, per month, and any applicable taxes.
  • Terms and Conditions — Payment terms, cancellation policy, and liability clauses.
  • Signature Lines — Space for both parties to sign and date the agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are three common pricing models: (1) Hourly rate — typically $25–$75 per cleaner per hour depending on your market; (2) Flat rate per visit — best for consistent, predictable jobs; (3) Per square foot — typically $0.05–$0.25 per square foot depending on service level and frequency. Start by estimating your labor and supply costs, then add your desired profit margin.
A cleaning bid (or proposal) is your offer to a potential client — it outlines what you'll do and what you'll charge. A cleaning contract is a signed agreement between both parties. In practice, many cleaning companies combine these into a single document that the client signs to accept. Our bid builder generates a document that functions as both.
Most cleaning businesses set bid validity at 30 days, though 15–60 days is common. This gives the client time to decide while protecting you from price changes in supplies or labor. After the expiration date, you reserve the right to revise the pricing.
Most commercial clients will require proof of general liability insurance before signing a contract. A minimum of $1 million per occurrence is typical for office cleaning. Some clients, especially medical facilities or large corporations, may require higher coverage or bonding. Check requirements before submitting your bid.
This bid builder is optimized for commercial cleaning proposals. For residential house cleaning, a simpler service agreement is usually more appropriate. Use our Service Agreement Builder to create an agreement suited for residential clients.
