Cost Per sqm & Per Hour

Office Cleaning Cost Per Square Metre & Per Hour in Melbourne

Cost Per Square Metre — Melbourne

Office cleaning in Melbourne typically costs $0.35–$0.55 per sqm per daily visit for medium offices. This rate is higher for less frequent programs — each visit takes more time when more accumulation has occurred between cleans.

FrequencyCost/sqm/visit
Daily$0.35–$0.50
3× Weekly$0.40–$0.57
Weekly$0.52–$0.72

Cost Per Hour Context — Melbourne

Commercial office cleaning in Melbourne is quoted per-visit, not hourly. When an effective hourly rate is calculated from per-visit pricing, it falls between $45–$65 per cleaner-hour. Hourly-rate quotes without a minimum time or scope guarantee create cost unpredictability and are generally less suitable for consistent office cleaning programs.

A medium 200–250sqm office on a daily program typically takes 1.5–2 cleaner-hours per visit. A 400sqm office typically takes 2.5–3.5 cleaner-hours depending on the bathroom count and facility configuration.

What Is Included

What Is Included in Medium Office Cleaning at These Prices

The per-visit prices above are all-inclusive for the standard medium office cleaning scope. At each scheduled visit, the cleaning team covers the full office floor — vacuuming all carpeted areas, mopping all hard floor surfaces, emptying and relining all waste and recycling bins throughout the office, wiping all workstation desk surfaces (around personal items and equipment), cleaning the kitchen or breakroom (benchtop, sink, tapware, appliance exteriors, floor), cleaning all bathrooms (toilet, basin, mirror, floor with hospital-grade disinfectant), wiping all glass partitions and entry glass, and restocking consumables including soap, paper towels, and toilet paper.

All cleaning products and equipment are supplied by Golden Star — there is no additional charge for products, consumables, or equipment on regular programs. All staff are police-checked before their first assignment and are covered by the company's 0M public liability insurance policy. Tax invoices are issued for every service, including the GST component for input tax credit claims.

Specialist tasks that are not included in the standard daily cleaning rate and are quoted separately include: office chair and upholstery cleaning, carpet steam extraction, window cleaning beyond the standard interior wipe (high internal glass, external windows), blind cleaning, and exterior pressure washing. These periodic specialist tasks are available as scheduled add-ons at additional cost and can be bundled into a quarterly or biannual maintenance program alongside the regular daily cleaning.

For medium offices that are growing in staff numbers or approaching the upper end of the 100–500sqm bracket, Golden Star reviews the cleaning program annually to ensure the frequency and scope remain appropriate for the current occupancy level. A program that was appropriate for 15 staff in a 200sqm office may need to be upgraded — either in frequency or scope — when that same office grows to 30 staff. Proactive scope reviews prevent the situation where the cleaning program becomes progressively inadequate for the actual use of the space.

Choosing Frequency

Daily, 3× Weekly, or Weekly — Which Is Right for a Medium Melbourne Office?

The right cleaning frequency for a medium Melbourne office depends primarily on staff numbers and activity level rather than floor area alone. A 300sqm office with 10 remote-first staff who attend the office 2 days per week has very different cleaning requirements from a 200sqm office with 25 full-time staff who all attend every day. The floor area provides a baseline for quoting, but actual usage intensity determines the right frequency within that size bracket.

Daily cleaning is appropriate for offices where the bathroom and kitchen are used heavily every working day, where the office receives client visitors regularly, or where the open-plan floor generates enough desk and floor soiling that a single morning clean is needed to maintain an acceptable standard each day. For most Melbourne medium offices with 15 or more full-time staff, daily cleaning is the appropriate baseline frequency.

Three-times-weekly cleaning is appropriate for offices where staff attendance is not full every day — common in professional services firms with flexible or hybrid working arrangements where peak occupancy is Tuesday to Thursday and Monday and Friday are lower-attendance days. This program keeps costs below daily while maintaining a reasonable standard through the peak attendance days.

Weekly cleaning for a medium office with 15 or more staff is generally insufficient to maintain a consistent standard — particularly for the bathroom and kitchen, which deteriorate to a visibly below-standard condition within 2–3 days of a clean in a moderately busy office. Weekly cleaning is only appropriate for medium offices with very low staff occupancy or where the majority of staff work primarily remotely with only occasional office attendance.

Price Factors

What Affects Medium Office Cleaning Prices in Melbourne

The factors below explain why two 250sqm Melbourne offices can be quoted very different prices. The differences are real and reflect genuine differences in the time and scope required — not different profit margins from different providers on the same task.

Bathroom Count
The single largest variable per square metre. Each bathroom adds $10–$20 to the per-visit price depending on its size and usage intensity. A 250sqm office with 3 bathrooms costs more per visit than a 300sqm office with 1 bathroom.
Kitchen Size and Usage
A full commercial kitchen serving 40 staff with multiple appliances, dishwasher, and fridge adds more to the per-visit cost than a simple break-room bench. For medium offices, kitchen complexity is the second most significant price variable after bathroom count.
Cleaning Frequency
Lower per-visit cost on daily programs versus weekly. The per-visit rate difference between daily and weekly can be 30–40% for the same office — daily cleaning has a lower per-visit cost because each visit requires less time per sqm than a weekly clean of the same space.
Reception and Client Areas
Offices with client-facing reception areas, upholstered seating, display elements, and high-presentation lobbies require more careful and thorough cleaning per sqm than standard open-plan areas. These areas add time relative to their floor area.
Office Partitioning
Open-plan offices clean faster per sqm than heavily partitioned layouts with many individual offices, meeting rooms, and corridors. Each separately enclosed space adds access and navigation time. A 300sqm office with 15 separate rooms takes longer to clean than a 400sqm open-plan floor.
Building and Access
Multi-storey offices split across levels take longer to clean than single-level offices of the same total area. Complex building access — multiple security passes, long routes between the building entry and the tenancy — also adds time that is factored into the per-visit price.

Office cleaning in Melbourne typically costs $0.35–$0.55 per sqm per daily visit for medium offices. The per-sqm rate is higher on less frequent programs — weekly cleaning runs approximately $0.52–$0.72 per sqm per visit because each visit requires more time when more accumulation has occurred. For a 250sqm office cleaned daily, the per-sqm cost is approximately $0.40–$0.50 per visit, or $0.05–$0.07 per sqm per working day.
Commercial office cleaning in Melbourne is quoted on a per-visit all-inclusive basis rather than an hourly rate. When an effective hourly rate is calculated from per-visit pricing, it typically falls between $45–$65 per cleaner-hour. Hourly-rate quotes without a minimum visit time or scope guarantee create cost unpredictability and are generally less preferable than per-visit pricing. A 200–250sqm office typically takes 1.5–2 cleaner-hours per daily visit.
The average cost for office cleaning in Melbourne for a mid-range 200–300sqm office on a daily program is approximately $90–$120 per visit. The monthly cost for daily cleaning at this size is approximately $1,980–$2,640 (based on 22 working days). This is the most common office size and price range in Melbourne's commercial cleaning market. A free site-specific quote provides the most accurate figure for your particular office configuration and requirements.
Medium office cleaning quotes in Melbourne vary significantly because the scope of work for a 100–500sqm office is complex enough that different providers include different tasks in their per-visit price. A lower quote often reflects a narrower scope — vacuuming and bins only, with kitchen and bathroom cleaning quoted separately. Always request a written scope of work alongside the per-visit price, and compare quotes based on the complete included scope rather than the headline price alone.
