Outstanding service! Very professional! On time! Trustworthy! My house was in desperate need of a deep clean . I contacted Panache Cleaning Services and they sent me a quote promptly and came the very next day to deep clean my house. From moving ornaments in display cabinets, moving furniture to clean, dust and wipe down light fittings, switches, paintings, you name it they did it. They also dry cleaned/washed my carpets and cleaned my oven so well it looks new! I am extremely happy with the outcome and can definitely recommend them! Thank you so much Bobby and Hildah and to your staff, you really went above and beyond my expectations. 10/10 👍🏻

Very professional and quick to make appointment. Showed up on time and very friendly service. The reason for 4 out pf 5 stars is due to the costs. They were double the amount of other companies.

The full guide
General advice, written April 2024.
Many businesses opt for commercial cleaning services to maintain their workplaces and commercial spaces. If you're curious about the hourly rates for commercial cleaning or the range of services offered, this guide will walk you through the basics.
Commercial Cleaning Rates in South Africa
The cost of commercial cleaning services in South Africa varies based on the job size, the number of workers needed, and the specific services required. While most cleaning services charge by the hour, some may quote based on the square meterage of the space.
Window cleaning typically aligns with the general rates of commercial cleaning services.
It's important to note that the hourly rates charged by companies are higher than the wages paid to the cleaners themselves, who may earn:
What Does Commercial Cleaning Include?
Commercial cleaning services cover a wide array of basic tasks such as:
- Vacuuming floors, curtains, upholstery, and other surfaces
- Dusting, wiping, and polishing furniture
- Mopping floors
- Removing rubbish, including bins and recyclables
- Cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms and laundry facilities
- Replenishing bathroom supplies
Some commercial cleaners also offer specialized services at an extra cost, including emergency cleaning, carpet cleaning, graffiti removal, green cleaning, pressure washing, steam cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, and both internal and external window cleaning.
Commercial cleaning services aren't just for office spaces. While many focus on maintaining office environments, there's a wide range of services available for different types of facilities, offering comprehensive cleaning solutions. Large commercial cleaning companies often boast a team of specialists capable of handling diverse environments.
Whether you're running a:
- Office,
- Manufacturing plant,
- Retail store,
- Restaurant,
- Hospital,
- School or university,
- Nightclub,
- Theatre,
- Retirement community,
- Residential complex,
- Gym, or
- Hotel,
there's a commercial cleaner suited to your specific needs.
It's clear that businesses like retail shops and restaurants need to avoid disruptions during operational hours. Commercial cleaners are well aware of this requirement and offer flexible scheduling, including after-hours services to ensure your space is cleaned without interrupting your business flow.
Choosing a Commercial Cleaner
When looking for a commercial cleaning service, aim for a company that can meet all your needs, potentially saving you money compared to hiring multiple services for different tasks.
Be clear and detailed when requesting quotes to ensure the initial estimates are as accurate as possible. Most companies will want to inspect your premises before finalizing a quote, but a detailed request can help keep the final price close to the initial estimate.
Remember, arranging regular cleaning services can often secure you a lower rate. However, be cautious of long-term contracts until you're confident in the quality of the service provided. It's wise to test a service for a short period before committing to a longer agreement.
This approach ensures you find a reliable, cost-effective commercial cleaning service that suits your business's specific needs and budget
