Many customers and service providers ask what are the average prices for the loss and waxing of the floor. National prices on average range from 30 to 60 cents per square meter.
But in order to estimate the price, you always need to take into account many additional factors:
1) What is the size of the job (the more work, the less the price per square foot.) If you need a cleaning company, so the strip / wax on the floor in your large building, you can expect lower prices per square meter. Feet However, if you are looking for a strip and wax, a relatively small area, prices may rise. Also, cleaning companies have minimum prices ranging from $ 150 to $ 200. So even if you need to clean the floor in only one small toilet, you can be charged in the amount of 150 to 200 dollars. Be sure to find out what is the minimum payment before leasing a commercial cleaning company.
2) Cooking time. When evaluating cleaning companies, prices take into account how much time they need to get ready for work. If the area is on the first floor, it takes less time to place the equipment than bringing the equipment to the 10th floor. In addition, if the cleaners have to strip / wax in the corridor with carpet on the sides, they need to remove the tape from the carpet to make sure that no solution gets on the carpet. It requires extra time and brings prices for floor cleaning services.
3) Travel distance. He prefers to hire local companies if you want to save on stripping / waxing services. Companies that can later calculate the travel time and fuel costs in the final price.
3) Building wax. When there is a lot of old wax on the floor, cleaners may have to rinse it several times, so you need to use additional products and labor.
4) Moving furniture. If the cleaning company has to move furniture (tables, chairs, rugs, etc.) before / after work, the price is usually higher up to 20%.
5) Removing and waxing plinths. When you want a cleaning company to deal with strips and wax plinths, it is also reflected in the price, which is getting higher.
6) Work with the edge. The more bridges in a room, the more time a cleaning company has to spend using dudlobus and scrapers to remove wax edges and corners and prices.
7) The number of finishing coatings. The more the coat is laid on the floor, the higher the price.
8) Floor type (new / old). It is usually easy to rent a new floor there before prices are lower to remove a new floor. The ground floor could be neglected, or there might be a lot of wax fillers on it, and additional time would be required to remove it. The price for a striking old floor can be higher.
9) Floor coloring. If there are a lot of stains on the floor, such as rust, or if there are a lot of deep scratches, it takes extra time to scrape them off with scrapers. Additional cleaning of parts will lead to higher prices.
10) Lamps for work. If during opening / waxing there are many fixtures in the room (refrigerators, furniture, equipment), the cleaning company will have to spend extra time working around them or moving them, and the price may be higher.
11) Type of products used during the opening / waxing. Some cleaning companies may charge for floor decontamination / waxing services, but this may be because they use cheap products. But cheap products have many drawbacks, cheap floor finishing usually turns yellow and is erased faster. Another company may charge you a little more, but they can use better products that maintain the appearance of your gender and longer. For example, you can pay a company $ 500 for a job, but because of your cheap products you have to digest in 4 months. Another company may pay you $ 550, but because of good products, you may not need to re-wax for 6 months instead of 4. Using a second company will be more economical for you in the long run. Always find out which floor coverings are used for work. Hillyard and Johnson floor finishes are the best flooring on the market these days.
12) Location wiper cabinet. During the cleaning / waxing work of a cleaning company, you often need to travel from your work area to the cleaning cabinet to get water, an empty wet vacuum, etc. Where is the janitor's cabinet? If it is far from the workplace, the cleaners will spend a lot of time just moving back and forth and prices may be higher.
13) Number of electrical outlets in the floor. If there are many electrical outlets in the floor cleaning, they will need to be glued to the tape so that the cleaning solution / water is not removed. This requires additional time and increases prices.
14) One-time contract for cleaning or maintenance. If you use a cleaning company only for one-time cleaning, you can expect higher prices. However, if you have a maintenance contract (for example, polishing the floor once a month after cleaning or re-covering once a quarter), you can ask for a discount. You can also count on a discount if you use a company that already provides commercial cleaning services for your building (for example, regular cleaning services 3/5 days a week).
I hope that this article will help business owners to get an idea about the prices of services for degreasing and waxing. I also hope that new cleaning companies will learn what to look for when evaluating floor cleaning work.
