Commercial cleaning and facility services in Houston, TX

Across the US commercial cleaning market, recurring janitorial is typically quoted between $0.05 and $0.25 per square foot per visit, and roughly $0.10 to $0.30 per square foot per month for a standard office cleaned three to five times per week. Hourly rates commonly run $25 to $50 per cleaner per hour. The range is wide because price is driven by frequency, square footage, restroom count, floor type, and how much of the work is detail cleaning versus basic trash and vacuum. Larger buildings almost always cost less per square foot than small ones because fixed travel and setup time is spread across more area. These are industry reference ranges, not a Wexley quote. Accurate pricing requires a walkthrough and a written scope.

Medical facilities are cleaned under bloodborne pathogen protocols governed by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. In practice that means crews trained in exposure control, EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants used at the labeled contact time, color-coded microfiber to prevent cross-contamination between exam rooms and restrooms, and regulated medical waste handled separately from general waste. Contact time matters more than product choice: a disinfectant that is wiped dry before its labeled dwell time has not disinfected the surface. Documentation is the other half of the requirement. Cleaning logs should record what was cleaned, when, and by whom, because that record is what an inspection or accreditation review asks for.

A COI, or certificate of insurance, is a one-page document issued by a vendor's insurance broker that summarizes the policies in force: carrier, policy numbers, coverage types, limits, effective and expiration dates, and any endorsements. It is most often issued on an ACORD form. Facility managers require it because if an uninsured or underinsured vendor's worker is injured on the property, or damages the building, the claim can land on the property owner's policy instead. Requesting a COI that names the owner and manager as additional insured moves that exposure to the vendor's carrier. A COI is a snapshot, not a guarantee, which is why coverage should be re-verified when policies renew rather than filed once and forgotten.
