How cleaning costs are worked out
Area to clean
A small office floor and a three-storey plaza with several washrooms need very different hours.

Once a day, twice a day, or a deep clean on Saturdays all change the monthly amount.
Timing
Cleaning before opening or after closing suits businesses but asks more of the cleaner's day.
