What to include in a janitorial proposal
Janitorial clients usually need ongoing service, not a one-time clean. The quote should focus on schedule, responsibilities, and monthly budget.
- Cleaning days, service windows, lock-up responsibilities, and access notes.
- Restrooms, trash, floors, offices, break rooms, and shared areas.
- Consumable supplies, restocking, equipment, and special floor care.
- Per-visit rate, monthly total, setup fee, and cancellation terms.

Proposal tip
Include a task frequency table in the notes: daily, weekly, monthly, and as-needed tasks. This helps the buyer compare your proposal against competitors.
