As a new janitorial cleaning owner, I can assure you that the Hourly Rate method is more appealing to businesses. I have tried multiple times using the Square Footage method and failed with no response back. I found out that a contractor who owns multiple contracts and employees uses the Hourly Rate method and is increasing revenue each year.
Neither is the answer. Re-watch my video if you think that I'm saying sqft is the answer
I don't think that's exactly what he was trying to say.. I think he was just trying to add to your video by saying it's more appealing to run a bid by the hour.
I do carpet, tile & grout, and upholstery steam cleaning. I tried by the sqf method for residential and it didn’t get me anywhere. I did land 1 big commercial gig so they were used to the sqf quotes, but residential would never ever call back. Once I started going by the amounts of rooms, (I tried my best to figure how many rooms it would take me in an hour) then I started booking more for sure. My business is still growing, I’m only about 4 months in, but by the room/item for upholstery has really helped me land more gigs. I’m thinking of adding janitorial services too as many people ask if I could do that too. So I’m definitely going to price it by the hour
Sounds like you need help at selling, you need to be a salesman while bidding
I love how you break it down! Perfectly said! I own a cleaning company as well for 18 years now, goid to know honest people like you teaching others, awesome!
💯🤝
What are your favorite products for commercial restrooms.
I started my own stripping and waxing gig on the side a few months ago. I personally always just tell them I charge 50 cents a square foot. Because I know I can do about 1500 square feet in about 6-8 hours with 1 helper who I pay $20 an hour. So I make about $900 or so just on a sunday, I start at 8am and am out the door by 4/5pm usually. This is for the outpatient centers I was able to grab a few months ago and they have a ton of work for me. So its an easy steady $850 - $900 for a days work on Sunday, minus what I pay my helper. This is on top of my normal weekly job. Its really good easy money if you can find a good gig, and a person that wants to keep you around. Just make sure you go a bit over the top to keep them happy
🔥🔥🔥 see you know your production rate (the amount of square footage you can complete per hour) so you're good. Most people don't know their's
How did you go about getting that job? Personal referral or perhaps cold call bidding?
@@AjSimmonsOnlineanother helpful tip. Thank you!
@@Zeke-kx3zw looking on job postings for small floor jobs, which lead me to bigger jobs i do now. I mostly do all outpatient centers in my county right now
@@Rawlingm Roger that. I started a chimney cleaning business 25 years ago and am considering going into commercial cleaning now that o no longer work at the plant also.
Buying your starter kit with supplies next week! Can’t wait to get started! Been watching your videos for months, now it time to TAKE ACTION! Appreciate all the info you give away.
Appreciate the knowledge! The way I have seen a lot of parking lots and different outside areas in my city recently, I have decided to do outside cleaning contracts. People throwing trash everywhere these days smh. But that's a business opportunity to me!. Thanks again

I do mine per square foot. I do residential cleans so I can always Google the sq ft because potential clients lie about it ALL OF THE TIME. It’s frustrating when they lie so I quote over the phone. There’s an average amount per sq ft in my state. It’s about .12 to .19 cent per foot. Anything home above 2200 square foot is about .20 to .25 cent per square foot.
Just Google your states average to keep your prices competitive.
Do you mean they lie about the sq ft of their home? Because I did need a method to get the sq ft
Ya, but is every "sq inch or foot" of the building being cleaned?
That would mean you would of touched every single surface of the entire building ,,,I think by the hour, cuz you'll spend more time in certain areas and less in others and some won't be .
@@brownkhalis8184 Yes, they do lie about the square footage of their homes. Thanks to Zillow, we’ve been able to quote competitively though.
@@kristinekoski7345 Doesn’t matter if each inch of the home is cleaned but doing it by the square footage means that you can quote people based on the average that need to be cleaned VS dragging the clean in order to overcharge the customer.
If I charged by the hour, a clean that should only take 2 and 1/2 hours can take 4 hours if I needed a few extra bucks that day.
I charge by the SQ ft to keep things fair for the customers and honest for my employees
I googled mines and couldn’t find it. I live in fl
I'm speechless, amazing job AJ
You rock it, man !!!
you have to see what the average dollar charge per square footage in your market area is meaning you have to call commercial and residential contractors and see what their charges and call 5 companies add their wages and divide by 5 this is how you appraisal your wages
You seem like you know your business! And I really like your info, plus your easy to follow along with.
So I just started working for a company and I've got 4 accounts to clean,, Les schwab ect.
And I'm getting $16.75 an hour.
But as far as ..
Per hr v.s footage?
I'm going with by the hour. Cuz as you calculated a 5,000 Sq ft at .10 cents price $500 . (Way too high . and customers will pass you up)
So by the hour is more reasonable !
"QUALITY
over~
quantity"
It's all bout the "word of mouth", these days.
word.

Good info so what I would say is whatever works for the individual. Per hr per sq fr per job. I think the most important part is having the numbers right. I have used both methods in my short time in business. AJ you have been doing this a long time so I value your recommendations!!!
Givin out GEMS! Thanks man!
I've been contemplating starting my cleaning business. This was great
Totally new to this and starting from
Scratch. Would appreciate any help . Have been watching the videos and definitely interested. God bless
Very good points AJ!!!! TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.....better to price by hour!!!! Thanks for the video!!! Well done!!!
There should always be a minimum charge to small jobs so it can make sense.
Great info. Is there anyway you could do a video on using/finding subcontractors? Pros/cons, tax filing benefits?
I think I have a couple up already, but I will do an updated one
@@AjSimmonsOnline cool, in the meantime ill search back and check em out thanks.
Great video! just a quick question. Say it takes you 2 hours to clean a space but 30 to 40 minutes to drive there. Do you charge 2 hours or 3 hours? Also your standard formula of whatever you pay the employee x2, does that take into account all expenses of the business? so no additional fees to the customer, just the flat employee wage x 2?
That $60 ain’t cutting it for two hours a day which is why the sq ft method is good .. I’m not about to split $300 a week with an employee sorry besides I live in NYC and a per hour method like that only work if you have 10/20 contracts simultaneously imo
You only looked at the $60 and missed the formula. Charging hourly works anywhere. Just simply add up your costs and then double that to get a profit. If doubling is too low for you, then multiply by 2.5 or 3. But the concept stays the same. It was only $60 based on my example numbers.
@@AjSimmonsOnline I see what you saying brother, that would make sense
Totally agree! I price by sq ft
Sqft is better it makes you look more like a business person and contractor if you crunch the numbers and explain to customer then they can't say no to your price because number don't lie
First both method are valid both are necessary apply all that you u know in the cleaning Market simple
Great info AJ!!! As I’m getting ready to but my first commercial cleaning is a small office of 2000sqft thinking of charging $750 a month base on being there 3 days a week. My main clientele is residential but this company contacted us and I don’t want to pass in the opportunity.
Yeah sounds about right. How long do you think it would take 1 person to do it and how much do you pay your workers per hour?
@@AjSimmonsOnline Appreciate your reply!!! I try to pay my subs the highest in our market so base on the job the pay can vary between $20 to $25 an hour or per job
@@AlejandroReyes-nv6xo yeah $750 is good then
@@AjSimmonsOnline Thank you for your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you for being humble enough to reply.
@@AlejandroReyes-nv6xo no problem bro! Consider joining us at www.cleanbiznetwork.com
I normally do both and they're usually pretty close to each other that's how you know your cents per square foot is right
Thank You for providing valuable information. For beginners...
🤝
This was beneficial.. I know when I watch your videos I’m going to get some solid beneficial information..thank you 🙌
headed to the top...aint none of yall stopping me!
📈📈🎶🎶
NO CUSSING LOVE YOUR TEACHING
I am have so many probably in my state with the hourly rate and will not change because of company their have been working with been sitting on this for years
Thank you, this information was very helpful!
I appreciate the knowledge bro 🙏🏽💯✅
🤝🏿
Thank you this was very helpful and easy to understand . 🙌🏾
Great information. I needed this. I'm just confused on how to come up with the production rate
Production rate is the number of sqft that you can clean per hour. So you have to measure the time it takes you to clean to find your true production rate. If you don’t know it, then you can use 2500 for carpet areas and 2000 for hard floor areas
Thanks Again AJ!!!!
Love these nuggets!!❤
Hey AJ you right on time
Just starting... Thank You
Great video !!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for always sharing
Np
Greatly appreciated the info
Great info. But what do you with rising costs. Like in Cali the state keeps upping regs adding more cost for labor.
The same thing. Just include all of your cost and then double that to add in your profit.
Hello, I have a question: I have a customer whom I told that it takes 4 hours to clean his office (if one person goes alone). Sometimes I go with 2 people and we finish in 2 hours. Should I then charge for 2 or 4 hours? Or should I just charge for the actual time it took, whether it was 2 or 4 hours?
I would charge the "actual time", I spent cleaning, plus I always, always do my job as though the camera's are on at the business, every where I am, every time!
Keep it simple
2 people finishing in 2 hours is the same as 4 hours. so you charge 4 hours.
Hey AJ, can you do a video for those that do not have the Calculator Clean tool. Can you do a video just using paper and pen only to show how to determine time to complete a job?
What’s a production rate ? And how did you get 3,000 ?
The production rate is how quickly your staff can clean, and he uses 3000 as his standard.
Great video ! thank you !
Great information!!!
🤝
this was good thanks man
Great information
Thank you
So glad I have found this channel. How do we get access to the calculator?
You can sign up at Cleanbiznetwork.com
Explained well
How do you determine the PR rate and will that PR rate always stay the same? for example do i still put in a 2000 PR rate for a 200 square foot space?
Would you prefer doing a hourly rate for residential cleaning as well?
Great info 🇨🇦👍🏿
Yessir! 🤝🏿
Great video, but is it man hours required to clean or how long we’ll be in there.
If it takes three hours to clean thats six man hours for two workers.
What about your Workmen’s Comp. and your million dollar liability policy and the minimum is for hours for any employee I don’t know what state you’re in
Hey so Aj, I just started my business and I was planning on by the room and the appliances. What I mean by appliances I am referring to restaurants jobs. How would you do bidding for that ?
Hi who pays for all the supply example toilet paper,paper towel ,windex and so forth
Help!
How much do I charge for a 6500 sq ft building only sweeping and mopping
What if you have to provide the cleaning products? Would you just get reimbursed when you buy them or plug it into the hourly rate?
Hi AJ I want to start commercial cleaning business. I have been doing Auto Detailing for many years. But want to start a second business.
What is the best type job to bid and start off alone till I hire someone ?
Where do you get the production rate from
calculated clean/ residential calculator link doesnt work
Amazing , working on starting my commercial business and also hit the road block of 10k figures not making sense. Going to be using calculated clean for my first bid! Still a little confused on the PR rate. Is that just an assumption given the jobs focuses
what about traveling time ?
Charge an extra $20 per day they want cleaning onto the bid so if it’s 2x a week add on $40 per week. That’s $160 per month just for gas. Also let’s say you charging them $500. The bid would be $500 plus $160 plus tax. Do the math. 👍🏼
I'll be working for a company's for a couple of years already how can I start my own business I have a DBA do I need insurance to if you can help me out please let me know
Hi AJ I'm trying to get my cleaning business started but wanting to know how do I go about getting a contract or a business proposal for a nursing home that is being built that would probably be finished by next year
can you walk me a 17000 sf one storge building with 14 bathroom
Thank you very much for all these videos. I am starting a commercial cleaning business and I am learning from you. Would you please help me figure the hourly rate for a 4000sq ft move out cleaning in kirkalnd WA. I will subcontract the job. Thanks
Great Content!! Thanks! Is there a standard for the amount of Sq ft 1 person can clean in an hour?
I believe the standard is between 0.10 to 0.20 per square feet.
Would love to start my own cleaning business probably by next year. Am thinking about getting an office to start my business. Any advice or ideas?
Don't get an office before you get money
Hi. What is the 3000 for?
this ruins the point of increasing sales because you can't grow, you're making the exact same rate no matter how fast or hard you work, how many jobs you do, etc.
you can have better equipment and a faster method and make less than if you were to struggle and do the job in 3 days. price by the job for consistent pay and do more work.
Where are you getting the production rate?
I tried using the calculator but seems like they are coming in to low . I have a office 2999 square feet 2 bathrooms 5 days a week the calculator says $939.13
Isn’t that low for 5days a week
You in CBN? Post a screenshot in the network for me so I can see where it went wrong. Also make sure you look at the bidding section of the Starter Course to make sure you understand how to properly use the calculators
So do you put in for windows or do you not clean the inside windows?
It's not included in routine commercial cleaning
How would I do a quote on covid cleaning on a building with over 25 offices, no tums; however, secretary didn't know the square footage?
If you don’t have sqft then you'll have to guess the time it'll take to clean then charge $150 - $200 per hour
Hey,I’m interested to work with you to have some trainings for my cleaning company .My question is how can I have your contacts please?

Business attire or your company shirt with khaki pants
I don’t mind using your calculator do you sell a portable one
It's your phone lol. All you have to do is download the Clean Biz Network mobile app
@@AjSimmonsOnline I Got to get more computer savvy just bought a Mac sorry for asking you asshole questions
Thank you again brother
SQR Ft is definitely better!
Not in my area, it isn't. I have sent out 3 proposals using the square footage method and never heard back from them.
💯💯💯
😅
👍🏽
you talk to fast. can not follow
Lol I do sorry. You can click the settings and slow the speed of the video down
Does that also applies with Sanitation when it comes to bidding?
