Daycare and School Cleaning Services
A 10,000 sq ft daycare or school cleaned 5 times a week runs about $2,050 to $4,150 a month across the U.S., depending on local wages. Find your city below for local prices.
Classrooms, restrooms and eating areas used by children need to be cleaned and disinfected every day, after the children leave, with products that are safe to use around kids. Most centers are cleaned five nights a week, with a deeper clean over summer or holiday breaks.
