What is the average cost of commercial cleaning in Sydney in 2026?
Commercial cleaning in Sydney costs $35–$75 per hour for most standard office and workplace environments. The actual cost per clean depends on the size of your space, how frequently you book, and whether you need any specialist services like carpet cleaning, hard floor maintenance, or after-hours access.
Most Western Sydney businesses with offices between 200–500 sqm pay $180–$380 per weekly clean. Larger spaces — retail stores, medical reception areas, or multi-floor offices — typically fall in the $400–$900+ range per visit.
One-off deep cleans carry a premium of 25–40% over the equivalent recurring visit price.
What factors affect the price of commercial cleaning in Western Sydney?
Space size is the biggest driver. Cleaning a 100 sqm boutique office in Parramatta costs far less than cleaning a 1,000 sqm warehouse or medical facility in Blacktown.
Frequency directly affects your per-visit rate:
- Daily cleans: lowest cost per visit
- Weekly cleans: 20–30% cheaper per visit than monthly
- Monthly or one-off: highest per-visit rate
After-hours access adds 10–20% to most quotes. Most businesses in Parramatta and the Norwest Business Park prefer after-hours cleaning to avoid disruption — build this into your budget from the start.
Specialist requirements — carpet steam cleaning, kitchen deep cleans, hard floor stripping and sealing, or medical-grade sanitisation — are priced separately and quoted on inspection.
How does commercial cleaning pricing differ between suburbs in Western Sydney?
Pricing is broadly consistent across Western Sydney suburbs including Parramatta, Blacktown, Penrith, Castle Hill, and the Hills District. Travel time can add a small premium for locations further from a provider's base.
Mercy Property Care is based in Toongabbie — centrally located for fast response across Parramatta, Blacktown, Norwest, Penrith, and the Hills District without travel surcharges.
What does a commercial cleaning contract in Sydney actually include?
A professional commercial cleaning contract should always specify:
- Frequency — how often the service runs
- Scope — exactly which areas are cleaned and to what standard
- Inclusions — consumables such as bin liners, hand soap, and paper towels
- Exclusions — what is not covered (e.g. specialist equipment, external windows, kitchen deep cleans)
- Insurance — minimum $20M public liability coverage
- Lock-in period — whether there is one and what the exit terms are
Always ask for a written scope-of-work before signing. Vague contracts lead to disputes about what was and wasn't included.
How do I know if I'm getting a fair commercial cleaning quote in Sydney?
A fair quote includes a site inspection — not just an online estimate. Any provider quoting a fixed price without seeing the space is guessing, and that guess rarely works in your favour once cleaning starts.

Why do Western Sydney businesses choose a local commercial cleaner over a national chain?
National chains offer consistency in process but often struggle with local responsiveness. If a scheduled clean is missed or a staff member doesn't show, the escalation path is long and the replacement time is slow.
A local provider based in Western Sydney — like Mercy Property Care, whose commercial cleaning services are built around the Toongabbie area — can respond to issues same-day. The team Priyanka leads is the same team that shows up every week, which means standards don't drift and clients don't have to re-explain their requirements to a new face each visit.
For businesses in Parramatta, Blacktown, Norwest, and the Hills District, this consistency matters more than a national brand name.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does office cleaning cost per hour in Sydney? A: Office cleaning in Sydney costs $35–$75 per hour in 2026, depending on the provider, the type of cleaning, and whether specialist services are involved. Recurring weekly contracts are typically priced at the lower end of this range. One-off cleans and after-hours access carry a premium.
Q: Do commercial cleaning companies charge GST in Australia? A: Yes. All quoted prices for commercial cleaning services in Australia are subject to 10% GST. Always confirm whether a quote is inclusive or exclusive of GST — a $300 quote exclusive of GST is actually $330.
Q: How often should a commercial space be professionally cleaned? A: Most offices and retail spaces benefit from weekly professional cleaning as a minimum. High-traffic spaces — medical centres, childcare facilities, hospitality venues — typically require daily cleaning. The right frequency depends on foot traffic, industry, and any regulatory requirements that apply to your sector.
Q: Is a site inspection required before getting a commercial cleaning quote? A: Any reputable commercial cleaner will inspect your space before providing a fixed price. Online quote calculators are useful for ballpark estimates, but the final price should always be based on what the cleaner actually sees — including access requirements, floor types, number of amenities, and any specialist areas.
