“…General Office Cleaning $0.09–$0.17 per sq. ft.…”

Source passage: ISSA

Caveats

  • ISSA calls these 'general guidelines rather than fixed prices'; no method, sample or region is given.
  • The ranges are not labelled per month; ISSA's own worked example divides a monthly contract cost by cleanable square feet, which is how Whirrwork reads them.
  • Routine janitorial work (trash, restrooms, dusting, floors), not floor scrubbing alone.
