Janitorial Service Proposal Template
Welcome to our sample 12 page janitorial proposal and commercial cleaning estimate. This comprehensive template covers the top 12 topics to include in a cleaning proposal. Every prospect is motivate by different topics and often more than one decision maker is involved in the bidding process.
We might meet an office manager during the walk thru, estimate but the President, CFO or owner of the business is also involved in the process but we never meet them. This is why we want to cover all the main topics a manager, executive or business owner are interested in. We will never meet every decision maker but still want an opportunity to influence their decision.

2. Introduction Letter – Cleaning Proposal
The second page is a cover letter where you can write about your business. Some things to include is how many accounts you have. The next paragraph is a value proposition, this example is for safety which would be great for manufacturing, distribution maybe even medical janitorial accounts. If you can add anything that came up during the walk thru or previous conversations.
The key here is try to make it as personal, specific as possible.
3. Price Page- Proposal
Third page is create a price page listing the cost for janitorial services on a monthly and annual basis. List the day porter hours and nightly days/hours if possible.
Below is the specialty cleaning section including carpet cleaning, tile & grout cleaning, floor stripping and waxing or restroom steam cleaning. Make sure to list what is included on what rotation and what is an extra charge.
4. List of Cleaning Task and Frequency of Services
Building cleaning frequency and tasks is the fourth page, I think a table is better but this is just an example. List all the main areas to be cleaned in the office and on what frequency the tasks will be completed. Private offices, common areas, lobby, restrooms and break rooms are the basics.
Don’t forget who provides the restroom supplies the cleaning contractor or building owner.
5. Safety Rules and Safety Program
Safety is a priority in certain industries, not all but some. Add the commercial cleaning safety rules and janitorial safety program for your technicians and cleaners. What is the rotation for safety meetings, what are the rules, how often do employees sign off.

7. Hiring, Training and ID Policy
Seventh page of the janitorial proposal will be the hiring process, how you recruit, train and supervise the commercial cleaning staff. Outline your uniform policy and if ID badges are required.
8. Desk Disinfecting Service
An important part of commercial cleaning is creating a process or system to clean individual desks. One good idea is create a flyer or rack card to leave on employees desks and ask them to remove all personal items if they want their work space to be cleaned or sanitized, disinfected.
9. Inspection and Supervision

Write in the proposal any specialty cleaning equipment that needs to be added to the job, especially any large investments or specific problems you will solve. What cleaning solutions you will be using especially if the client requires green cleaning detergents or you specialize in it. This is a good time to let them know about any unique capabilities you have.
