Practical scope comparison
How the Commercial Service Levels Differ
The primary differences are the amount of detail, number of shared surfaces, presentation standard, sanitation requirements, and quality-control expectations.
| Cleaning area | Essential | Professional | Executive | Medical / Specialty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Smaller, lower-traffic offices. | Most professional and client-facing offices. | Executive, leasing, sales, and high-visibility facilities. | Approved medical, wellness, and specialty facilities. |
| Restrooms | Core fixtures, mirrors, counters, floors, and trash. | More detailed fixtures, partitions, touchpoints, and restocking. | Enhanced presentation, detail checks, and quality review. | Structured sequence and higher sanitation focus as agreed. |
| Breakrooms | Counters, tables, sinks, trash, and floors. | Appliance exteriors, cabinet fronts, and shared surfaces. | More detailed surfaces, seating, handles, and presentation. | Facility-specific food-adjacent and shared-area sanitation. |
| Touchpoints | Core high-touch items identified in the scope. | Expanded shared surfaces and equipment zones. | High-traffic and client-facing touchpoints. | Patient-facing and specialty touchpoints identified at the walkthrough. |
| Quality control | Core task completion review. | Expanded presentation and scope checks. | Higher-detail review for visible and priority areas. | Documented facility-specific expectations and sequencing. |
Cleaning and disinfection are not interchangeable. When disinfection is included, the product, surfaces, frequency, and required contact time should be documented in the accepted scope.
Custom commercial estimates
Commercial Cleaning Pricing Based on Labor and Scope
DSS Cleaning does not rely on a one-size-fits-all price per square foot. We estimate the labor hours needed to complete the agreed work, then build the quote around the scope, frequency, access requirements, and operating needs of your facility.
Square footage helps us understand the layout, but it does not determine the price by itself. A smaller high-traffic facility with several restrooms may require more labor than a larger low-traffic office.
What We Review During the Walkthrough
- Facility layout, occupied areas, and access procedures
- Number of restrooms, fixtures, and supply needs
- Breakrooms, shared spaces, and trash volume
- Floor types and routine floor-care requirements
- Traffic level, touchpoints, and presentation priorities
- Requested frequency, service time, and security needs
- Medical, specialty, or higher-sanitation requirements

Training and professional standards
Certified Janitorial Knowledge Behind the Cleaning Plan
DSS Cleaning maintains IJCSA training and certifications relevant to commercial janitorial work, chemical-hazard awareness, and medical cleaning. That training supports clearer cleaning sequences, product awareness, restroom standards, touchpoint procedures, and quality-control expectations.
Certification supports our planning and training, but the accepted proposal still determines the exact services provided at your facility.

Commercial cleaning questions
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers explain the estimating process and what to expect before recurring commercial cleaning begins.
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Charleston?
DSS Cleaning bases commercial quotes on the labor hours required for the accepted scope, along with frequency, restrooms, floor types, traffic, supplies, access, and specialty requirements. We do not use square footage as the only pricing factor.
Is an on-site walkthrough required?
A walkthrough is the preferred way to prepare an accurate recurring quote. It allows us to review the layout, restrooms, floors, shared spaces, traffic, security, supplies, and other conditions that affect labor and scope.
Do you offer after-hours office cleaning?
After-hours or custom scheduling may be available. The final schedule depends on team availability, building access, alarm procedures, key control, and other security requirements.
Does DSS Cleaning bring supplies and equipment?
DSS Cleaning brings the professional cleaning supplies and equipment required for the accepted scope. Eco-friendly products are available upon request. Client consumables such as paper products and soap can be restocked when they are provided and restocking is included in the proposal.
Can you clean medical or wellness offices?
DSS Cleaning can evaluate routine cleaning for approved medical and wellness offices. Waiting rooms, reception areas, offices, restrooms, and other nonclinical areas may be included. Regulated biohazard remediation is not automatically included and requires a separate, specifically approved scope.
Is touchpoint disinfection included in every plan?
No. The surfaces, product, frequency, and required contact time must be identified in the accepted scope. Cleaning removes soil, while disinfection is a separate process performed only when specifically included.
How often can commercial cleaning be scheduled?
Common options include weekly, twice-weekly, three-times-weekly, and five-days-per-week service. DSS Cleaning recommends a frequency after reviewing traffic, restrooms, trash volume, presentation needs, and scheduling requirements.
What controls the final commercial cleaning scope?
The accepted DSS Cleaning proposal or work order controls the final duties, frequency, pricing, supplies, assumptions, and exclusions. General examples shown on this page do not replace the property-specific agreement.
