The details
Montreal market rates
Montreal cleaning companies that publish their rates charge $0.07 to $0.30 per square foot per month, up to $0.60 for very frequent cleaning (August and September 2026). By the hour, it’s $25 to $55, depending on the company and type of space. The range is wide because there’s no industry standard. One-time cleanings run $40 to $50 an hour. Some companies add a one-time travel fee of about $50. Those that bill supplies separately mark them up by about 15%.
The $420 minimum
Montreal companies that publish their rates set a minimum of about $420 a month. For a small space, that’s the number to know. Below it, a recurring contract rarely works, no matter who you call. Better to know now than after three quote requests go unanswered.
Estimate your square footage
Skip the tape measure. Figure about 175 square feet per employee in a typical office, so a 12-person office is around 2,100 square feet. At market rates, that’s $150 to $630 a month depending on frequency, but the $420 minimum applies, so figure $420 to $630. It’s a ballpark, not a quote.
What should change your price
Square footage. Frequency, which matters most. The type of area: a busy washroom, a locker room or a production area isn’t the same job as a row of desks. And contract length: with us, month-to-month costs 35% more. Most companies also charge by time of day. We don’t.
What shouldn’t change your price
Your industry. Your revenue. How well you negotiate. A sales rep’s monthly target. A price that moves for those reasons isn’t a price. It’s a guess at what you’ll pay.
Why a lowball quote is a red flag
Cleaning is labour, and wages make up most of the price. A quote well below market can only work two ways: less time on site, or pay so low that nobody stays. Either way, you pay for it later, and it shows in the washrooms first.
Run the numbers
Same 12-person office, 2,100 square feet, at 3 visits a week. Market rates put it at $150 to $630 a month, and the usual minimum lifts the low end to $420. At 13 visits a month, that’s $32 to $48 per visit. Compare that number from one quote to the next, never the monthly total alone.
