If you run a business in Copenhagen, one of the most common questions is simple: what does office and commercial cleaning actually cost? The honest answer is that it depends on a few clear factors — but this guide gives you realistic ranges and shows you exactly what moves the price, so you can budget with confidence and get a fair quote.

The three ways commercial cleaning is priced
In Denmark, erhvervsrengøring (commercial cleaning) is usually priced in one of three ways:
- Per square metre: common for offices and retail. The price per m² drops as the area grows.
- Per hour: used for smaller jobs, one-off cleans or spaces with irregular layouts.
- Fixed monthly contract: the most cost-effective for regular cleaning — a set price for an agreed scope and frequency.
What moves the price up or down
- Frequency: daily cleaning costs more per month than weekly, but far less per visit. Regular contracts are cheaper per clean than one-offs.
- Size and layout: open-plan offices are quicker per m² than spaces cut into many small rooms, clinics or kitchens.
- Type of premises: a clinic or a food business needs stricter hygiene than a standard office, which affects time and method.
- Scope: floors, desks and bathrooms are standard; windows, kitchens, and touchpoint sanitising can be added.
- Timing: cleaning outside opening hours (early morning or evening) is standard for offices so it never disrupts your team.
Is commercial cleaning tax-deductible for businesses?
Yes. Unlike the private servicefradrag (which applies to homes only), commercial cleaning is a normal deductible business operating cost in Denmark. That means the real cost to your company is lower than the invoice figure. Keep the invoice for your accounts.
What a good commercial cleaning setup includes
A reliable provider gives you a fixed, transparent price, a consistent team, insurance, and a scope tailored to your premises — office, shop, clinic, staircase or building. Flexibility around your opening hours matters just as much as the price.
