How to get office cleaning jobs?
Short answerGet office cleaning jobs by contacting office managers and small business owners near you, walking the space to scope it, and sending a written bid with frequency, tasks and a trial period. Reliability in the first month matters most, because buyers switch cleaners after one missed night.
The explanation
Look for buildings you can reach quickly and offices that are small enough for a one or two person crew. Dental offices, law offices, gyms and small professional suites are common starting points. Walk in during the day, ask who handles cleaning, and leave a one page overview.
On the walkthrough, count restrooms, desks, trash cans and floor types, and ask when the space is empty. Turn it into a written checklist with daily, weekly and monthly tasks. The checklist protects you from scope creep and shows the buyer what they will get.
Propose a trial month at the agreed rate. During it, be exactly on time, use a sign off sheet and report any building problems you notice. That first month decides whether the contract renews.
What to watch for
- Bidding without a written checklist.
- Assuming key and alarm access without a written plan.
- Missing a night in the first month.
In residential cleaning (maid service)
