Direct answer
Most DFW commercial spaces pay $300 to $2,500 a month for regular cleaning. Offices often run $0.08 to $0.12 per square foot per visit. Medical suites run higher, about 30 to 50 percent above a comparable office, because of dwell times and zone separation. These are typical ranges after a walkthrough, not a bid.
How these numbers were built
These ranges come from commercial cleaning quotes Dream Cleaned Services writes after walking Dallas-Fort Worth buildings. They are typical monthly ranges for standard service, updated September 2026. They are not a bid, and they are not a survey of every vendor in the metroplex. Clutter, floor mix, access, and add-on work move a specific building off these bands.
Use them to sanity-check a number. Then walk the building. The calculator on this site uses the same bands. Get a typical monthly range if you want it for one address.
Monthly ranges by building type, weekly service
| Building type | Under 2,500 sqft | 2,500–5,000 sqft | 5,000–10,000 sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office / professional | $300–$750 | $750–$1,200 | $1,200–$2,200 |
| Medical / healthcare suite | $450–$1,100 | $1,100–$1,800 | $1,800–$3,200 |
| Retail / storefront | $270–$650 | $650–$1,100 | $1,100–$1,950 |
| Warehouse office / light industrial | $150–$380 | $380–$620 | $620–$1,050 |
| Religious / community | $240–$600 | $600–$1,000 | $1,000–$1,750 |
| School / daycare | $300–$750 | $750–$1,200 | $1,200–$2,200 |
Per-visit office work in this market often lands around $0.08–$0.12 per square foot. Medical is typically $0.12–$0.18. Warehouse floors are lower because a lot of the square footage is open concrete, not restrooms and kitchens.
How frequency changes a 3,000 sqft office
| Frequency | Typical monthly | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ~$280 | Almost never, except a barely used suite |
| Biweekly | ~$560 | Light headcount, low client traffic |
| Weekly | ~$930 | Most professional offices |
| 3x / week | ~$2,420 | Dense floors, busy restrooms |
| Weekday nightly | ~$3,900 | High traffic, client-facing all day |
Daily cleaning costs about four times a weekly contract at the same facility, not five. The per-visit rate drops as you add nights. Frequency should still follow the zones, not a package name. How often should your office be cleaned?
What moves a building off the range
- Medical, food-adjacent, or childcare protocol. Add 30–50% for a real infection-control process, not a slogan. See hospital-grade vs a real protocol.
- Mixed floor types, a lot of interior glass, or a hard-to-access building.
- Day porter hours. That is a separate line, not a thicker night invoice. What a day porter is.
- A scope that actually names high dusting, grout, and glass. Thin scopes look cheaper until the complaints start.
If two quotes are far apart, the scopes are not the same. Compare them on one page before you pick the low number.
Common questions
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Dallas-Fort Worth?
Most buildings we quote land between $300 and $2,500 a month. Square footage, facility type, and visits per week move the number more than the city name on the door.
Why does medical cleaning cost more than office cleaning?
EPA-registered disinfectants, required dwell times, color-coded supplies, and extra training add time. A vendor quoting medical at office rates is not pricing that protocol.
Does more frequent cleaning cost five times as much as weekly?
No. Daily service costs about four times a weekly contract at the same facility. The per-visit rate drops as frequency goes up.
