Hourly rates for cleaners in Lagos currently run at roughly ₦1,500–₦3,000 per hour for routine cleaning, and more for deep cleaning and post-event cleanups (Trustamai, November 2026). Most companies, however, price offices per month rather than per hour, because the scope, frequency and supervision matter more than the clock.
How office cleaning contracts are priced
| Pricing model | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Per visit / frequency | A fixed monthly fee for an agreed number of visits (e.g. Mon–Fri, 7–10am) | Small and medium offices |
| Per room or per square metre | Price scales with the number of rooms or floor area | Multi-room offices with a clear floor plan |
| Dedicated on-site cleaner | One or more cleaners stationed at your premises for the working day | Busy offices, banks, clinics, showrooms |
| One-off / periodic deep clean | Single job priced by size and condition | Move-ins, renovations, annual deep cleans |
What affects the cost of office cleaning in Lagos?
- Size and layout — number of rooms, open-plan areas, floors and stairways.
- Frequency and hours — daily, alternate days or weekly; early-morning, evening or weekend work.
- Restrooms and kitchens — these take the most time and products.
- Foot traffic — receptions, banking halls, clinics and showrooms need more frequent cleaning.
- Location — offices on the Island (VI, Ikoyi, Lekki) are usually priced higher than on the Mainland.
- Consumables — whether toilet rolls, hand soap, air fresheners and bin liners are included.
- Equipment — floor scrubbers, industrial vacuums and window-cleaning tools.
- Supervision and reporting — a supervisor, checklists and monthly reports add value and some cost.
- Add-ons — carpet and upholstery cleaning, window and façade cleaning, and fumigation.
- VAT — many companies quote excluding VAT; confirm before you compare.

Should you outsource or hire a cleaner in-house?
Hiring your own cleaner can look cheaper, but the salary is only part of the cost. Nigeria's national minimum wage is ₦70,000 a month, and Lagos State pays its own workers ₦85,000 (Nairametrics, May 2026). On top of salary, an in-house cleaner means recruitment, leave and sick-day cover, cleaning products, equipment, uniforms and someone to supervise the work.
| In-house cleaner | Outsourced contract | |
|---|---|---|
| Recruitment and vetting | You handle it | Done by the cleaning company |
| Cover for leave or absence | You find a replacement | Replacement cleaner provided |
| Products and equipment | You buy and store them | Usually included or itemised |
| Supervision and quality checks | Your staff's time | Supervisor and checklists included |
| Flexibility | Fixed headcount | Scale up or down by contract |
A useful rule of thumb: if a quote for a full-time, dedicated on-site cleaner is lower than the minimum wage, ask how the company pays its staff. Underpaid cleaners leave, and turnover is the most common reason office cleaning quality drops.

- A clear scope of work — every area listed with how often it is cleaned (see the table below).

- Supervision — who inspects the work, how often, and how you report issues.
- Consumables and equipment — what the company supplies and what you supply.
- Response times — how quickly complaints or urgent requests are handled.
- Vetting and conduct — background checks, uniforms, ID cards and confidentiality.
- Liability — what happens if property is damaged.
- Price and review — monthly fee, VAT, payment terms and when prices can change.
- Notice period — how either side can end the contract.

Red flags when choosing an office cleaning company
- A price given over the phone without seeing your office or a floor plan.
- No written scope — just “general cleaning”.
- No supervisor or quality checks.
- Cleaners without uniforms, ID cards or background checks.
- No plan for covering absences.
- A dedicated full-time cleaner quoted below the minimum wage.
- Unclear VAT, consumables or payment terms.
How to get an accurate office cleaning quote
- Share your office address, floor area or number of rooms, and number of restrooms and kitchens.
- State how many staff and visitors use the space daily.
- Choose your preferred frequency and cleaning hours.
- List any special areas: server rooms, clinics, banking halls, warehouses.
- Ask for a site visit and a written proposal with scope, staffing and price.
- Compare quotes on the same scope — not just the monthly figure.
