1. What is the Commercial Carpet Cleaning Calculator?

The Commercial Carpet Cleaning Calculator estimates the total cost of commercial carpet cleaning based on the square footage of the area and the cleaning rate per square foot. It provides a quick and accurate assessment of cleaning expenses for commercial properties.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the commercial cleaning formula:

Where:

• \( Comm\_SqFt \) — Commercial square footage (square feet)
• \( Comm\_Rate \) — Cleaning rate (dollars per square foot)
• \( Comm\_Clean\_Total \) — Total cleaning cost (dollars)
