What does office cleaning cost in Vienna?

What actually drives the price

Three factors dominate the cost of office cleaning in Vienna: the area to be cleaned, the frequency you need, and the scope of service. A small office cleaned weekly is considerably cheaper than a space with daily cleaning including washrooms and reception. Flooring matters too: carpet, industrial flooring, or sensitive materials like natural stone each require different amounts of time and sometimes specialised products.

Timing also plays into the price. Most office cleaning happens early morning, in the evening, or at weekends, so operations aren’t disrupted — this is standard and usually already included in the base price, but should be stated explicitly in the quote.

What actually moves the number

Floor area and cleaning frequency have the biggest effect on price: a small office cleaned weekly costs noticeably less than a large space with daily cleaning including reception and washrooms. Flooring matters too — carpet and natural stone take more time than tile or laminate — as does whether add-ons like glass or upholstery cleaning are part of the regular routine. Because these factors vary so much from one office to the next, we deliberately don’t publish a flat benchmark figure here: the number that actually matters for your office comes from a short, no-obligation site visit, not a generic table. Our quote form usually gets you a first estimate within 24 hours.

What typically costs extra

Alongside routine cleaning, many companies also request:

• Glass cleaning for reception areas or façade surfaces
• Upholstery cleaning for meeting rooms and lounge areas
• A deep clean on first engagement or after switching providers
• Seasonal add-ons such as carpet cleaning before major client visits

These services are usually quoted separately and should be clearly itemised in the quote, rather than bundled invisibly into the base price.

How to spot a reputable quote

A transparent quote is based on a short site survey, not a blanket estimate over the phone. It names a fixed, identified cleaner rather than rotating subcontractors, lists the exact scope of service (which areas, what frequency), and gives you a clear contact for questions or complaints. Unusually cheap quotes offered without a site visit are a warning sign — usually the scope gets quietly reduced later, or the work is done with improperly registered staff.

Contract models: ongoing or project-based

Most offices opt for an ongoing cleaning contract with a fixed frequency, cancellable with a notice period of typically a few weeks to the end of a month or quarter. That gives both sides planning certainty and is usually cheaper per clean than repeated one-off bookings, since the cleaner can plan fixed routes and time slots. For one-off occasions — ahead of an important client visit, or after a renovation — project-based single bookings are also available, typically at a higher price per visit.

What to consider with multiple locations

Companies with several locations in Vienna and beyond benefit from a single central contract and one invoice rather than separate contracts per site — even where frequency and scope differ by location. A central contact then coordinates all locations and ensures a consistent quality standard, regardless of which team is actually on site.

Switching providers: what to expect

Switching cleaning companies is simpler than many businesses assume. A reputable new provider takes over the existing cleaning schedule, surveys the space, and typically starts within two weeks of signing — with no gap in ongoing service.

What to have ready before your first conversation

For a reliable first estimate, a few key facts help: the approximate area in square metres, the frequency you want, flooring in the key areas, and any special requirements such as restricted access or sensitive documents in the office. The more complete this information, the more accurate the first, non-binding quote will be.

Combining security and cleaning

Office buildings with higher footfall or sensitive areas often need on-site protection or reception services alongside cleaning. For exactly this case, there’s the Facility Package together with our Wächtergroup brand — one point of contact for both services, two specialised teams.

Sustainability and cleaning products

More and more companies specifically ask for environmentally certified cleaning products, or want their own specified products used — driven by sustainability policies or allergies within the team. Both are usually possible at no extra cost, but should be explicitly noted in the quote, so there’s no mismatch between what was agreed and what’s actually used.

A checklist before comparing quotes

Before comparing several quotes, clarify internally: how large is the area that actually needs cleaning, which zones need which frequency, and are there special requirements such as sensitive flooring or restricted-access areas? The more precise these details, the more comparable the quotes you receive — and the fewer disputes later about services that turned out not to be included.

Getting a quote

Via our quote form, area, desired frequency and location are enough for a first estimate. After a short site visit, you’ll receive an exact, space-specific quote — usually within 24 hours.
