The guide
The Montreal market ranges
Public surveys from August and September 2026, across Montreal suppliers who publish their rates. Per square foot: $0.07 to $0.30 a month, and up to $0.60 at very high frequency. Hourly: $25 to $55 depending on the supplier and the type of space. The spread is wide because the category has no standard. For a one-off intervention: $40 to $50. Observed travel fees: around $50, non-recurring. Consumables management fees: around 15% among suppliers who bill them separately.
The monthly minimum nobody mentions
Among Montreal suppliers who publish their rates, the observed contractual minimum sits around $420 a month. It is the most useful piece of information for a small space: below that threshold, a recurring contract is rarely viable, whoever the supplier is. Better to know it before firing off three quote requests that will go unanswered.
Estimating your floor area without a tape measure
Common benchmark: roughly 175 square feet per employee in a classic office. So an office of twelve people runs around 2,100 square feet. At the per-square-foot range, its cleaning would land between $150 and $630 a month depending on frequency, except that the market floor applies. The benchmark is for orienting yourself, not for concluding.
What legitimately moves a price
The actual floor area to be maintained. The frequency, which counts more than anything else. The nature of the surfaces: a high-traffic restroom, a locker room or a production area do not compare to a workstation. Imposed time windows, with most providers (at Ninja Bleu, the hour of the visit does not change the price). And commitment: at Ninja Bleu, a no-commitment contract costs 35% more, displayed as such.
What should not move it
Your industry. Your company’s revenue. How well you negotiate. Where your contact sits against their monthly target. A price that moves on those criteria is not a price, it is an assessment of what you are willing to pay.
Why a price well under market is a signal
Cleaning is a labour business: the cost of work is most of the price. An offer well under the range can only be financed two ways: less time spent on site, or pay that keeps nobody. Either way the gap is recovered over the following months, and it shows up in the restrooms first.
A worked example
A twelve-person office, 2,100 square feet, 3 visits a week. Per square foot, the market gives $150 to $630 a month; the observed contractual minimum brings the bottom of the range up to $420. That is 13 visits a month: between $32 and $48 per visit. That price per visit is what you compare from one quote to the next, never the monthly figure alone.
