- Strip and wax (VCT): about $0.70 a square foot, $350 minimum. Once a year in the fellowship hall.

Before you sign with a church cleaning company in Oshawa
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 certificate from the WSIB showing their workers' compensation account is in good standing.
- A price that fits the work. In Oshawa, a 15,000 sq ft church cleaned twice a week runs about $1,450 CAD a month. A bid far below that usually means fewer hours on site, so ask for the crew size and hours per visit.
- A per-visit rate for weddings, funerals and event cleanups, written into the proposal.
- Two references from buildings like yours in the Oshawa area. Call both.
