These FAQs are designed to help business owners, office managers, property managers, facility leaders, and administrators understand what to expect before requesting a quote.
Request a Commercial Cleaning QuoteGetting Started with Commercial Cleaning
These questions cover the basics of requesting service, scheduling a walkthrough, and determining whether INVO Cleaning Services is the right fit for your facility.
What types of businesses does INVO Cleaning Services clean?
INVO Cleaning Services provides commercial cleaning for offices, medical facilities, banks, schools, daycares, warehouses, manufacturing offices, commercial property managers, professional buildings, nonprofit offices, administrative spaces, and other business facilities.
Does INVO Cleaning Services clean homes or residential properties?
No. INVO Cleaning Services focuses on commercial cleaning and janitorial services for businesses, organizations, and commercial facilities. We do not focus on residential house cleaning.
How do I request a commercial cleaning quote?
You can request a quote through the INVO Cleaning Services website. A walkthrough is usually recommended so we can review your facility, understand your cleaning needs, discuss expectations, and prepare a realistic proposal.
Do you need to see the building before providing pricing?
In most cases, yes. Square footage helps, but it does not tell the full story. Restroom count, building layout, flooring type, traffic levels, cleaning frequency, employee areas, customer-facing spaces, and current cleaning condition all affect scope and pricing.
What happens during a walkthrough?
During a walkthrough, we review the areas to be cleaned, discuss your current cleaning concerns, identify priority areas, review restroom and supply needs, ask about schedule preferences, and determine what level of service makes sense for the facility.
How soon can service start?
Start timing depends on facility size, scope of work, scheduling, staffing, supplies, access requirements, and contract details. If you have a target start date, it is best to request a walkthrough as early as possible.
Commercial Cleaning Pricing & Quotes
Commercial cleaning pricing depends on the actual facility and the service expectations. INVO focuses on realistic pricing that supports reliable service rather than simply trying to be the lowest bid.
How is commercial cleaning pricing determined?
Pricing is usually based on facility size, layout, cleaning frequency, restroom count, flooring, traffic levels, cleaning tasks, supply needs, access requirements, current condition, and the level of detail expected.
Can you provide a quote based only on square footage?
Sometimes a rough range may be possible, but an accurate quote usually requires more information. A 10,000-square-foot office, warehouse, medical facility, and school can all have very different cleaning needs.
Is INVO Cleaning Services the lowest-cost cleaning option?
INVO Cleaning Services does not aim to be the lowest-cost cleaning option. Our goal is to be a dependable cleaning partner businesses can count on for honest communication, consistent service, and a higher standard of care.
Why do commercial cleaning quotes vary so much between companies?
Quotes vary because companies may assume different task lists, labor times, supply responsibilities, service frequencies, quality expectations, and staffing costs. A lower quote may not include the same scope or level of service.
Can you customize a cleaning program to fit our budget?
Yes, when possible. We can discuss priorities, service frequency, areas of focus, and optional tasks. However, the final scope must still be realistic enough to produce dependable results.
Do you require a contract?
Commercial cleaning service is typically documented with an agreed scope of work, schedule, pricing, and service terms so expectations are clear for both the client and INVO Cleaning Services.

Yes. Many commercial cleaning programs are scheduled after business hours, depending on building access, security requirements, client preference, and service needs.
Can cleaning happen during business hours?
Yes, when appropriate. Some facilities use daytime cleaning or day porter services for restrooms, lobbies, common areas, trash, supplies, and high-traffic spaces. Scheduling depends on the facility and scope.
How often should a commercial facility be cleaned?
Frequency depends on building type, traffic levels, restroom use, customer-facing spaces, employee count, flooring, and expectations. Some facilities need one or two visits per week, while others need five or more visits per week or daytime support.
Do you bring cleaning supplies and equipment?
Yes. INVO can provide the cleaning products and equipment needed for the agreed scope of work unless your facility requests a different arrangement.

How do cleaners access the building?
Access is arranged with the client before service begins. This may include keys, access codes, alarm instructions, designated entrances, security procedures, or other building-specific requirements.
Can you work around our security requirements?
Yes, in most cases. Security expectations should be discussed during the walkthrough so access, alarms, restricted areas, keys, and building procedures are clearly understood before service begins.
Quality, Communication & Service Expectations
Commercial cleaning works best when expectations are clear and communication is direct.
How does INVO handle cleaning concerns?
If something needs attention, clients should communicate the concern as soon as possible. INVO focuses on responsive communication, identifying the cause of the issue, and correcting service expectations when needed.
Will we have a defined cleaning scope?
Yes. A defined scope helps everyone understand what is included, how often tasks should be completed, and which areas are part of the service. This helps prevent confusion after service begins.
Can the cleaning scope change over time?
Yes. Cleaning needs can change as staffing, traffic, tenants, building use, seasons, or expectations change. The scope can be reviewed and adjusted when needed.
What makes INVO different from a basic janitorial company?
INVO focuses on professional communication, customized cleaning programs, realistic expectations, dependable service, and long-term fit. Our goal is not to be the cheapest option; it is to be the cleaning partner businesses can count on.
What does Serving with P.R.I.D.E. mean?
Serving with P.R.I.D.E. means INVO Cleaning Services is guided by Professionalism, Relationships, Integrity, Development, and Environment. These values shape how we communicate, train, solve problems, and deliver service.
Do you offer special cleaning projects?
Special cleaning projects can be discussed during the quote process or as needs arise. Availability depends on the type of project, schedule, staffing, products, equipment, and whether the work fits INVO’s service capabilities.
