Worked monthly examples for Zetland sites
These are typical, not promises — the walkthrough sets the real figure. They do illustrate how frequency and property type interact:

- A 400 square metre open-plan office cleaned five nights a week: roughly $2,400 to $3,800 per month

What moves the number in this postcode
Frequency dominates everything else — going from two visits a week to five does not merely double the cost, but it is the single largest lever. After that, wet areas: bathrooms, kitchens and end-of-trip facilities consume far more time per square metre than open floor. Then floor type, since polished concrete, vinyl and carpet each carry different periodic treatment costs.
Zetland adds its own factors. Dock booking windows and shared service lifts mean a crew can spend twenty minutes on access before starting work, and a quote that ignores that is a quote that will be revised. Glass is everywhere in these buildings and it shows everything. Basement parking runs deep, and every level counts. Residential quiet hours restrict when noisy equipment can run, which sometimes forces a longer, quieter method.
How to compare quotes honestly
Ask every bidder for a written room-by-room scope, the number of cleaners and hours per visit, the attendance time, whether consumables are included, what periodic work is scheduled and at what frequency, and a certificate of currency for public liability and workers compensation. A cheap price against an incomplete scope is not a cheap price. Our tier-by-tier inclusions are set out on the Zetland rates page, and common questions are answered on our FAQ. Service-specific pricing detail sits on the office, strata, medical and build completion pages. Rates are identical in Green Square.
Who is quoting you
These rates come from an established operation, not a one-van contractor guessing at a number. Pro Clean Corp carries $20M public liability and workers compensation, police-checks every cleaner, and holds enough depth to cover a sick shift without your building going unserviced. Every agreement is month-to-month with 30 days notice.
Commercial cleaning cost Zetland — FAQs
What is the average commercial cleaning cost in Zetland?
Ongoing contracts across Zetland 2017 average $30 to $45 per hour, with one-off cleans at $40 to $50 per hour. Specialist scopes sit higher: clinical work $30-$50, gym and hospitality $30-$50, and build completion around $45 to $60 because of the detail involved.
Why is cleaning quoted per hour and charged per month?
The hourly figure is how the labour is costed, but you should never be billed on a variable timesheet. We convert the scope into a fixed monthly price so your budget is predictable and there is no incentive for anyone to stretch hours.
What actually drives the price up or down?
Frequency first, then floor area, then wet areas. Bathrooms and kitchens take disproportionate time. After that: floor type, access constraints, whether consumables are included, and any specialist requirement such as infection control or kitchen degreasing.
Do Zetland buildings cost more to clean than older suburbs?
Sometimes yes. The towers here have more glass, more lift lobbies, more basement levels and stricter access procedures than older low-rise stock. Dock bookings and service lift waits are real labour, and an honest quote accounts for them rather than discovering them later.
Why are some quotes so much cheaper?
A quote well below $30 per hour usually means a thin scope, unrealistic visit times, or missing insurance and police checks. Ask for the certificate of currency and the written room-by-room scope — most very cheap quotes do not survive that request.
Is GST included?
Our quotes show the ex-GST figure and the GST-inclusive total side by side, so there is never a surprise ten percent when the first invoice arrives.
