| Carpet hot water extraction | $504.00 |
| Restroom fixture detail | $72.00 |
| Interior window cleaning | $143.00 |
| Baseboard and edge detail | $315.00 |
| Additional labor | $180.00 |
| Supplies and consumables | $65.00 |
| Trip charge | $75.00 |

An example, not a price list. The customer is invented. Every rate above is a row from the price book a new post-construction clean account is seeded with, and the first thing you would do in the app is replace them with yours -- which is why the total is a shape to compare against, not a quote for your job.
Why this one is priced per square foot and a contract is not
A turnover clean is a single visit over a known floor, so the area is the price. A nightly contract over the same suite is the same rate against a number of visits a month, and the thing being signed is the month. Both come out of the same two seeded rows; the calculator shows the per-visit and the per-month figures side by side.
The lines that do not scale with the floor
Restroom fixtures, interior glass and baseboard detail are counted and run, not spread over the square footage. A 4,800 square foot suite with six restroom fixtures is a different evening from one with two, and a flat rate per foot prices them identically. On this quote those three lines are most of the difference between the measured figure and the total.
Post-construction is not a deep clean with a different name
Drywall dust comes back twice. The seeded turnover rate is more than double the recurring one for that reason, and the extra crew hours on the bottom of this quote are the second pass that every builder asks for and no cleaner quotes the first time.
