Average Commercial Cleaning Costs in Ontario (2025)
Commercial cleaning prices in Ontario range from $0.08 to $0.25 per square foot depending on space type, frequency, and scope. For a standard 2,500 sq ft office in Brampton or Mississauga, this translates to roughly $200–$300 per visit. This guide breaks down pricing by facility type across the GTA so you can budget accurately for professional commercial cleaning.
Pricing varies based on several factors including square footage, cleaning frequency, type of facility, specific services required, and any specialized cleaning needs. Frequency plays a major role — daily service typically costs less per visit than weekly because the cleaning is lighter between visits.
Office Cleaning Cost Per Square Foot
Standard office cleaning in the GTA ranges from $0.08 to $0.12 per square foot per visit, covering bins, dusting, vacuuming, and washroom sanitation. A 5,000 sq ft office in Toronto's Financial District would cost approximately $400–$600 per visit. Most offices schedule weekly cleaning, which reduces the per-visit cost compared to one-time or bi-weekly service.
Office cleaning costs are typically the most competitive because offices are standardized environments with predictable cleaning requirements. Open-plan offices clean faster than private offices due to easier access to workstations and fewer individual spaces.
Medical Office Cleaning Cost Per Square Foot
Medical and dental office cleaning ranges from $0.15 to $0.25 per square foot due to additional training and equipment required. Ontario PHO guidelines mandate specific sanitization protocols. A 1,500 sq ft dental clinic in Mississauga typically pays $225–$375 per visit. This higher cost reflects the specialized training, hospital-grade disinfectants, and biohazard disposal procedures required.
Medical cleaning costs also include compliance documentation and audit-ready reporting. GTA Scrub's medical cleaning includes CleanCheck photo-verified reports that document PHO compliance for every visit.
Warehouse and Industrial Cleaning Costs
Warehouse cleaning typically costs $0.06 to $0.10 per square foot. A 30,000 sq ft warehouse in Brampton would cost $1,800–$3,000 per month for weekly service. Industrial cleaning requires heavy-duty equipment like ride-on scrubbers and HEPA-filtered vacuums, which are factored into the pricing.
Per-square-foot costs decrease for larger facilities because the fixed cost of equipment and travel is spread over more square footage. However, warehouses with high racking, mezzanines, or specialized cleaning requirements may see higher rates.
Post-Construction Cleaning Pricing
Post-construction cleaning is priced per project rather than per visit. Commercial projects in the GTA range from $0.20 to $0.50 per square foot. A 2,000 sq ft retail space in Mississauga might cost $400–$1,000 for a complete post-construction clean. The wide range reflects the level of debris, type of construction, and timeline requirements.
Post-construction cleaning requires specialized equipment and multiple phases. The pricing includes debris removal, HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces, window cleaning, floor care, and final inspection documentation with CleanCheck photo verification.
