Wondering about the costs associated with getting your office professionally cleaned in Perth? In this blog post, we’ll delve into the breakdown of expenses and give you insights into what you might be charged per hour.
Office cleaning equipment – 10%
PetraClean not only supplies all necessary cleaning equipment but also leaves it on-site. This ensures that the right tools are consistently used for your specific office, promoting better hygiene and efficiency.
The allocated cleaning time is maximised as our cleaners don’t spend precious minutes setting up and packing down. This 10% also covers Occupational Health and Safety costs, including PPE and electrical equipment testing and tagging.
Office cleaning chemicals – 10%
We provide all the required commercial cleaning products, including hospital-grade disinfectants tailored to your Perth office’s needs. Our approach involves using specialised cleaning products for specific tasks, from polishing to disinfecting. All our disinfectants, meeting WA Health Department guidelines, are hospital-grade, even pre-dating the COVID-19 era.
Office cleaning supervision – 7.5%
While PetraClean ensures top-notch cleaners and provides extensive training, human errors can occur. To maintain a consistently high standard of cleanliness, we employ cleaning supervisors who conduct regular check-ups on all our sites and cleaners. This 7.5% covers their wages, reporting systems, and any necessary follow-ups.
Admin/support staff – 12.5%
Behind the scenes, PetraClean has a dedicated support team ensuring the smooth operation of our business. From Client Services Managers to Administration Coordinators, our team is actively involved in engaging with clients, organising, billing, marketing, and handling various administrative tasks. This percentage also includes insurance costs like Workers Compensation and Public Liability.
Cleaning wages – 60%
The majority of your cleaning cost contributes to the fair and liveable wages of our Cleaning Team Members. PetraClean takes pride in compensating our cleaners appropriately, fostering a sense of pride in their work.
All team members are engaged legally and in line with Fair Work Ombudsman Cleaning
Services Award (MA000022) with wages, leave entitlements, on-costs, and allowances all provided
correctly.
The time of day and day of the week determine the rates PetraClean team members are paid to
provide cleaning services.
The final cost
Considering office cleaning equipment, chemicals, supervision, admin/support staff, and cleaning wages, the typical cost ranges from $55 – $85 plus GST per hour. Beware of quotes significantly lower, as they might not include essential components, leading to additional costs down the line. Ensure that the quoted hourly rate reflects fair compensation for the cleaner.
