Floor care and carpet cleaning in Fort McMurray
Exam rooms and operatories usually have vinyl or sheet flooring that is mopped with a disinfectant every visit. Waiting rooms and offices are often carpeted, and that carpet takes more foot traffic than a typical office's.
- Scrub and recoat: about $0.40 a square foot, $275 minimum. Quarterly on vinyl tile in exam rooms and halls.
- Strip and wax (VCT): about $0.70 a square foot, $350 minimum. Once or twice a year on vinyl tile.
- Carpet extraction: about $0.35 a square foot, $200 minimum. Two to four times a year in waiting rooms.
Floor work is priced per job, on top of the $425 to $2,550 a month for routine cleaning in Fort McMurray. Ask for each job as its own line in the proposal so bids compare fairly. Rates from our pricing method.
Before you sign with a medical or dental office cleaning company in Fort McMurray
Ask the company for:
- A certificate of insurance naming your business, showing commercial general liability (commonly $2 million or more per occurrence) and a janitorial bond, plus a clearance letter from WCB-Alberta showing their workers' compensation account is in good standing.
- A price that fits the work. In Fort McMurray, a 6,000 sq ft medical or dental office cleaned three times a week runs about $1,600 CAD a month. A bid far below that usually means fewer hours on site, so ask for the crew size and hours per visit.
- Proof of WHMIS and bloodborne pathogen training, and a signed confidentiality agreement covering patient information.
- Two references from buildings like yours in the Fort McMurray area. Call both.

Frequently asked questions
How much does medical and dental office cleaning cost in Fort McMurray, AB?
It depends mostly on size and how often it's cleaned. In Fort McMurray, a 2,500 square foot medical or dental office runs about $425 a month cleaned once a week and $2,150 cleaned five times a week. A 6,000 square foot medical or dental office cleaned five times a week runs about $2,550. Medical offices cost more per square foot than general offices because exam rooms and restrooms take longer to disinfect properly. Room count matters more than raw square footage. Prices are in Canadian dollars, before sales tax.
