Office and commercial cleaning in Duncan, BC
Offices, studios and small business premises cleaned on your schedule — including evenings and weekends, after your staff have gone home. From $50 an hour, with a signed service agreement if you need one.
Cleaning that fits around your business
An office being cleaned during business hours is a distraction — a vacuum running through a client meeting, a wet floor in reception at 2pm. Almost every commercial client here is cleaned after hours: evenings, weekends, or early mornings before the doors open.
You get the same arrangement as residential clients: one person, every visit. That matters more in a commercial setting, not less. Someone with keys and alarm codes to your premises should be a person you know by name, not whoever the agency rostered this week.
What a commercial clean covers
- Workstations and offices — desks wiped around equipment, surfaces dusted, bins emptied and re-lined
- Reception and waiting areas — the first thing your clients see, done properly every visit
- Meeting rooms — tables, chairs, glass, whiteboard trays
- Washrooms — toilets, sinks, mirrors, floors, and restocking what you supply
- Kitchen and staff room — counters, sink, appliance exteriors, microwave inside, fridge exterior
- Floors throughout — vacuumed and washed
- High-touch points — door handles, light switches, railings, shared equipment
- Entrance glass — fingerprints and weather marks

Agreements and invoicing
Commercial clients can have a signed service agreement setting out scope, schedule, rate and invoicing terms — useful for your records, and for anyone who has to sign off the spend.
Invoicing is monthly, itemised by visit date and hours, with a proper invoice number for your bookkeeping. Payment by Interac e-Transfer. No minimum term and no cancellation penalty — the agreement sets out what was agreed, it does not trap you in it.

Common questions
Do you clean offices outside business hours?
Yes. Most commercial clients are cleaned in the evening or at weekends, after staff have left. Early mornings before opening also work. The schedule is built around your business, not the other way round.
How much does office cleaning cost in Duncan?
$50 per hour, the same rate as residential, with supplies included. A small office of two to four rooms usually takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours per visit, so a weekly clean commonly runs $75 to $125 a visit.
Do you sign a contract?
Yes, if you want one. Commercial clients can have a signed service agreement setting out the scope, schedule, rate and invoicing terms — useful for your own records and for anyone who has to approve the spend. There is no minimum term: invoicing is monthly for the visits actually completed, and reasonable notice ends it.
Can you clean medical, salon or food premises?
General cleaning for those spaces, yes. Regulated clinical disinfection or food-safety sanitation programmes that require certified protocols are outside what an owner-operated service provides, so ask first and you will get a straight answer.
Who supplies consumables like paper towel and soap?
Normally you do, since businesses usually buy those on their own accounts at better prices. If you would rather they were picked up for you, that can be arranged and billed at cost.
