Residential and commercial cleaning businesses run on recurring contracts. Residential cleaning runs $100–$300/visit (bi-weekly or weekly). Commercial cleaning contracts range from $500–$5,000/month. Most clients pay by card on a recurring basis.
For a cleaning company doing $20,000–$80,000/month in card sales, annual processing costs **$6,000 to $33,600**.
Network Offset Pricing for Cleaning Services
| Service | Cash/Check/ACH | Card |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Home Cleaning | $150.00 | $156.00 |
| Deep Clean | $300.00 | $312.00 |
| Move-Out Clean | $450.00 | $468.00 |
| Commercial Monthly Contract | $1,200.00 | $1,248.00 |
| Post-Construction Clean | $800.00 | $832.00 |
Why it works: Recurring cleaning clients easily switch to ACH for the lower price. One-time services present both options on the quote. Commercial contracts almost always prefer ACH/check. The service relationship drives retention, not payment pricing.
