What's different about Adelaide
Adelaide operators are typically smaller and owner-operated, which usually means the person quoting is also on site. That is a genuine quality advantage — ask directly whether the owner attends or supervises.

Commercial cleaning in Adelaide: common questions
- What is the difference between commercial and office cleaning?
- Office cleaning is one type of commercial cleaning. 'Commercial' is the broader category and covers warehouses, clinics, gyms, retail, strata common areas and industrial sites as well. If your site is only offices, ask for an office cleaning scope; if it is mixed, you want a commercial contract that prices each area separately.
- How is a commercial cleaning contract usually priced?
- Most operators estimate the hours needed per visit, apply an hourly rate that covers wages, on-costs, supervision, equipment and margin, then convert it to a fixed monthly figure. Periodic work is quoted separately. Ask for both the estimated hours and the rate so you can compare quotes properly.
- Should the contract include consumables?
- It can go either way. Included is simpler to budget; on-charged at cost can be cheaper if your usage is low. Whichever you choose, get it written down along with who monitors stock levels.
