The cost of office cleaning in Lafayette has many pricing factors such as the size and layout of the office, how many restrooms there are, how often the office needs to be cleaned, what time of day the cleaners have access to the office, what kind of floors there are, and what is included in the work. Come Back Clean does not use public, flat commercial rates because two offices that are the same square footage can require a different scope of work.
If you want an accurate quote for your office cleaning, you need to give us the details of your office first, before asking what our rates are.
The Five Things That Actually Drive Office Cleaning Costs
There are many factors that impact the cost of office cleaning in Lafayette, and the scope of work is the biggest driver. The five biggest factors of scope are the square footage of the office, the number of restrooms, the frequency of service, after hours access, and what kind of floors there are. Price also can change based on the actual work included.
A weekly service of a quiet office can be very different from a high-volume service of a noisy office.
1. Square Footage
While square footage can impact the price of office cleaning, that doesn't always mean a large office requires more work.
A small office with a lot of staff and client traffic can require a lot of cleaning compared to a large office with mostly empty private offices. That is why Come Back Clean does a commercial walkthrough. During the walkthrough we can see firsthand how big the office is, but also how the office is used.
2. Restroom Count
Restrooms can be a big portion of the work, but are not always the case.
Come Back Clean's published office cleaning services include restroom trash, mirror, partition, toilet and urinal, sink, and countertop cleaning, as well as cleaning of floors and restocking agreed supplies.
Not all restrooms are the same when it comes to cleaning. One lightly used restroom is not the same as several heavily used restrooms throughout the workday.
Count them before requesting a quote.
3. Cleaning Frequency
Come Back Clean offers office cleaning services weekly, biweekly, or multiple times per week.
The number of services per week should depend on how quickly the office gets used.
Restrooms, breakrooms, and client traffic, as well as trash volume and floors, usually help you determine how often the office should be cleaned rather than the number of employees.
4. After-Hours Access
The cleaning crew has to be able to get into your Lafayette office building.
If your office requires an alarm procedure, key card, access code, garage and/or elevator access, or a specific service window, these should be discussed when requesting a quote.
A company should know about these things before the service starts, rather than discovering them on the first service day.
5. Floor Type
Different types of flooring create different tasks.
Come Back Clean has published its office cleaning scope to include spot vacuuming, spot mopping, full hard floor mopping, and full carpet vacuuming.
A walkthrough should identify how much of each type of flooring exists, as well as the high traffic areas.

Decide The Scope Before You Call Anybody
A cleaning quote is only good if you know what is being quoted.
Before calling cleaning companies, walk your Lafayette office and count the spaces that create work.
Make a list like this:
- Private offices: Count the number and note any unusual conditions.
- Cubicles/workstations: Count the work areas and note traffic or special needs.
- Conference rooms: Note how many there are and how often they are used.
- Restrooms: Count each restroom and note usage levels.
- Breakrooms/kitchens: Note how many and how heavily they are used.
- Blinds: Count or estimate the areas that require attention.
- Drinking fountain/cooler: Note any shared beverage stations.
- Extra trash cans: Count bins outside normal office areas.
Add anything else that is unusual or different.
Are there a lot of reception areas? Interior glass? Different entrances? An employee kitchen? An unused conference room? An empty, rarely used cubicle?
Those things can all make a difference.
Our janitorial walkthrough guide helps you with the same thing—replacing vague, broad statements with actual numbers.
Come Back Clean's office scope separates tasks into service visit, weekly, and monthly tasks. This helps to distinguish things that need attention on a service visit from things that can wait.

Nightly vs. Three Times Weekly vs. Weekly Cleaning
No one schedule fits all Lafayette offices.
The frequency is based on the actual use of the space.
- Nightly or very frequent: Best for heavy traffic, quickly used restrooms, and frequent visitors. The tradeoff is more frequent service visits and a larger recurring scope.
- Three times weekly: Often fits offices with regular staff and client traffic, shared breakrooms, restrooms, and visible buildup. It balances frequency with a more targeted schedule.
- Weekly: May fit offices with less use and traffic that remain generally orderly between visits, but floors and restrooms receive less frequent attention.
Weekly cleanings may be appropriate for professional offices.
Not for offices used by dozens of people a day.
Infrequent service in nearly empty offices likely does not make sense.
This is one reason why the difference between office and janitorial cleaning is not as big as the actual use of the space. Our Lafayette area guide to office and janitorial cleaning explains this and how traffic and use affects the decision.
What Is Often Missing from a Quote for Office Cleaning?
A quality commercial cleaning quote should omit as clearly as it includes.
Come Back Clean publishes what is standard for office cleaning and includes tasks such as trash removal and cleaning of glass, dusting, restrooms, and breakrooms; as well as care for floors and blinds and baseboards; and full carpet vacuuming at defined frequencies.
The following are not included as part of a standard office cleaning:
- Carpet extraction
- Exterior window cleaning
- Floor stripping and refinishing
- Other specialty floor care
Don't assume those services are available.
Don't assume they are included in a routine office-cleaning quote.
If your building needs any of the services above, or other services not published in the scope, discuss it during the walkthrough and find out whether Come Back Clean can provide the service, or if another contractor is required.
This helps resolve a common issue in the commercial cleaning industry: one person assumes a task is included, and the other person says the task is not included.
Quotes should clarify the work to be done.
Lafayette Specific Considerations: Parking, Access and Service Windows
Not all Lafayette offices create the same logistical problem.
A Lafayette office on the Ambassador Caffery corridor has a different access situation from a downtown office.
Downtown Lafayette has metered street parking and a public garage. Currently, metered spaces are free after 5 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends, and the Parc-Auto du Centre-Ville garage provides additional parking.
This may ease some after hour arrangements, however parking is just one element of access.
Your cleaner may need:
- A building or suite key
- A code to disarm the alarm
- Elevator access
- Parking instruction
- A key card
- Authorization to enter after business hours
- Instructions to lock the building after everyone has left
Along the Ambassador Caffery corridor, the parking and entry arrangement may look completely different depending on the property. Some businesses operate in standalone buildings, while others are in office suites.
We should not assume either.
Tell us what is applicable to your building.
Come Back Clean's Lafayette office is located at 110 Board Road and the company cleans both residential and commercial properties in the Lafayette market. Businesses can also check our Lafayette service area before requesting service.
For commercial cleaning, the important local detail is not simply "Lafayette." It is where the building is, where the crew can park, how they enter, and when they are allowed to clean.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Office Cleaning Cost in Lafayette?
There is no verified public Come Back Clean flat rate for office cleaning in Lafayette. Commercial pricing is determined after a site visit and proposal review to understand the size, layout, the extent of cleaning, frequency, restrooms, flooring, and access constraints. Two office spaces of the same square footage can result in a different pricing proposal.
Does Square Footage Determine the Entire Cleaning Price?
No. There are several factors that contribute to the total price of a service. Restroom count, breakroom usage, floor type, traffic, service frequency, trash volume, access, and the tasks listed in the agreement are factors that a walk-through provides the cleaning company that is not offered with just square footage.
Is Weekly Office Cleaning Sufficient?
Weekly office cleanings can be sufficient for smaller offices with low traffic, however, weekly office cleanings may not be sufficient for larger, busier offices. Come Back Clean offers office cleaning services weekly, biweekly, and multiple times per week.
Is Nightly Office Cleaning More Expensive Than Weekly Cleaning?
More frequent office cleanings do usually increase the cost of service, however, the final quote would determine if the service would be a true value for the cost. A nightly service would still allow the flexibility for the cleaning company to determine which tasks would be performed that night and which tasks would be performed the following night, etc.
Does Office Cleaning Include Carpet Cleaning?
Come Back Clean does not include carpet cleaning in their standard office cleaning, however, vacuuming is included. If the carpet needs a deep cleaning or another special treatment, make sure to bring it up during the walk-through and if it can be provided during the office cleaning, or if a different company would be needed.
Does Come Back Clean Do Exterior Window Cleaning?
No, exterior window cleaning is not included in Come Back Clean's published office-cleaning scope. Office cleaning does include the wiping of the inside of entrance glass. Should you require the exterior glass of your property to be cleaned, bring this to our attention during the walkthrough rather than assume this is included in the standard quote.
What Do I Need to Have to Request an Office Cleaning Quote?
It is useful for you to have an estimate of your square footage, the number of offices and workstations, the number of conference rooms, restrooms, and breakrooms, the type of flooring, the frequency you expect the office to be cleaned, the type of parking available, and how the building will be accessed. Also consider any atypical items that you expect the cleaning company to handle that may not be included in a standard office-cleaning scope.
