Electrostatic spray gives objects an even, 360-degree coating made possible by the negative charge of the sprayed solution as it exits the tool’s nozzle and the positive charge of the surfaces it reaches. It effectively atomizes cleaning solutions in this way, using electrostatics to attach to and wrap around harmful microorganisms and remove them from surfaces, including those that are difficult to reach.
When it comes to cleaning surfaces and objects, traditional dry and wet dusting tends to be the first methods that come to mind. While these cleaning techniques are tried and true, they do little more than spread filth around, unless the rags used are washed regularly. Dry dusting kicks up resting particles, redistributing them into the air and onto other surfaces. Wet dusting can involve harmful cleaning chemicals and make it hard to reach certain spots or objects. For sensitive places, like clean rooms, R&D labs, healthcare facility cleaning and schools, there’s a more effective method for stripping dirt, dust and germs from surfaces that require specialized sanitation: electrostatic spray.

Estimates from the CDC show that the United States sees between 9 million and 45 million cases of influenza (flu). As of 2018, that equates to an estimated nationwide burden of $11.2 billion per year. Fortunately, there are simple things you can do to protect yourself, your workplace, and your coworkers from the hazards of flu season.
Week six of flu season in the US saw a slight decrease in visits to healthcare providers for those suffering from influenza-like illnesses and symptoms. However, all regions throughout the US are still dealing with more cases than usual.
Read moreLet’s start with a quick story: In the 19th century, Ignaz Semmelweiss worked as an obstetrics assistant in Vienna General Hospital. Soon after beginning work, he discovered that women who were treated in the doctor-run maternity ward were becoming ill and dying at an alarmingly higher rate than those who were treated in the mid-wife run ward.
The doctors were often coming directly from performing autopsies and weren’t taking any steps in between for proper sanitation. He, and Florence Nightingale around the same time, pushed for strict hand-washing regulations but were met with resistance. It wasn’t until the 1980s when the US Center for Disease Control implemented important hygiene guidelines requiring strict hand-washing procedures and regulations; but keeping your hands clean is only the first basic step of ensuring cleanliness in a healthcare environment.
An urgent care center is a fast-paced environment with patients coming and going at all hours. From illnesses and injuries to preventative care and blood tests, your staff treats people of all ages with all types of conditions and needs. It’s vital to protect your healthcare workers and patients by adhering to facility-wide cleanliness guidelines.
In this blog, we’re discussing the top 10 tips to ensure your urgent care center is always clean and sanitary for your staff and patients.

Most commercial buildings, from office complexes to commercial kitchens, take advantage of the professional service of a commercial cleaning provider to give their spaces the deep clean they deserve. So much more than a way of keeping up appearances and making lasting first impressions, this type of thorough cleaning gives teams a safe, healthy and welcoming place to work and gives customers a great experience and end product or service they can count on.
Once most businesses recognize the need for regular cleaning schedules, high-quality cleaning materials and professional help, their next question is often about the cost. What can you expect to set aside each month or each year for a top-tier cleaning team who gets the job done right? And how much does an experienced service provider charge? Here’s an idea of the numbers you may be working with when you talk to the professionals.
Important: The calculator and pricing tables below are intended as a general budgeting guide for standard office buildings with routine cleaning performed approximately three times per week. They are not intended to estimate costs for schools, healthcare facilities, laboratories, warehouses, manufacturing plants, commercial kitchens, or other specialized environments, where pricing can vary significantly. You can also leverage our commercial cleaning calculator tool.
Actual costs depend on your building’s layout, occupancy, cleaning frequency, service scope, flooring, restrooms, scheduling requirements, and many other factors. For an accurate proposal based on your facility contact Commercial Cleaning Corp. to schedule a complimentary walkthrough.
| Square Feet | Cleaning Cost/Hours |
| 1,000–5,000 sq. ft | $600–$1,000 |
| 5,000–10,000 sq. ft | $1,000–$1,500 |
| 10,000–20,000 sq. ft | $1,500–$3,000 |
| 20,000–40,000 sq. ft | $3,000–$5,500 |
If you’re looking for a better idea of how much services themselves cost, use the table below to view ranges for a few popular services offered by commercial cleaning companies.
| Service | Cleaning Cost |
| Tile & Concrete Scrubbing | $0.20–$0.40 per sq. ft |
| Floor Waxing & Polishing | $0.35–$0.60 per sq. ft |
| Marble, Terrazzo, & Concrete Diamond Grinding | $1.30–$6.50 per sq. ft |
| Carpet Shampooing & Extraction | $0.25–$0.50 per sq. ft |
| Window Cleaning | $3.00–$8.00 per piece |
An office cleaning service can cost anywhere from $600–$1,000 per month for small spaces that require light cleaning and upkeep to $5,500+ per month for large spaces that must have daily cleaning needs met. Pricing typically scales with square footage, with mid-sized spaces (around 5,000–10,000 sq. ft.) often ranging between $1,000–$1,500 per month, while larger environments (20,000+ sq. ft.) can reach $3,000–$5,500 or more depending on scope. These ranges really depend on the specific cleaning services provided, the type, size and location of the space served, the time of day served and the frequency of the services. Cleaning services can be offered as ongoing work or a one-time clean and can be set hourly or through a flat fee that’s typically determined after a walkthrough of a facility.
If rooms include bathrooms and kitchens or kitchenettes, the type and number of these rooms will also affect the cost of servicing them. Offices with cubicles will require more effort and time to clean than those without cubicles. A space that is occupied heavily will need deeper cleaning than a space of equal size that’s not frequented or occupied by as many people. If there will be people moving around in an active space that needs cleaning, this also demands greater skill and different cleaning techniques to get the job done without interrupting operations or the flow of traffic. Unique spaces like schools have special considerations as well, often requiring deep cleaning and green cleaning methods that are safer for students and faculty.
Special tools or skills come into play when the space has more rigorous cleaning needs and standards to follow, such as a lab or clean room environment, or it has areas that are particularly difficult to clean, such as a manufacturing plant that contains hard-to-reach surfaces or an active, high-traffic floor filled with workers that cannot be disrupted by a cleaning team. Using advanced tools like electrostatic spray technology may also impact total costs.

Industrial cleaning services are specialized cleaning services for areas in industrial facilities, such as factories and manufacturing facilities, self-storage buildings, warehouses and power plants.

Finding a trusted professional cleaning service to maintain your building—especially when you work in the healthcare industry—can be challenging. It takes an experienced team to understand the nuances of working in a care environment and apply up-to-date cleaning best practices to a hospital, which relies on clean and sanitized areas to function properly and reduce health risks for patients, staff and visitors.
