We researched The Janitorial Store's official pricing, terms, product pages, help pages and outside reviews. We haven't used The Janitorial Store ourselves, so this is a research-based review, not a hands-on test.

Who it’s best for

• Owners starting a commercial cleaning business.
• Small janitorial companies that need bids, contracts and forms.
• Owners who want to train staff online.

Who should skip it

• Probably not the best fit for residential house cleaners (its sister site My House Cleaning Biz covers them).

What it costs

Prices checked October 31, 2026, from The Janitorial Store’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

• Pro: $147 a year, or $67 the first month then $15 a month (checked October 30, 2026).
• Premium (1 to 5 users): $647 a year, or $297 the first month then $57 a month; larger teams pay $797 to $1,247 a year.
• All plans renew automatically; certification exams are sold separately.

What we like

• Bidding calculators and service agreement templates.
• Online staff training and certifications.
• In business since 2005.
• Low-cost Pro plan.

What to watch for

• Few independent outside reviews; testimonials are on its own site.
• Confusing pricing page.
• Plans renew automatically.
• Exams and coaching cost extra.

The fine print

• All memberships renew automatically; use its Cancel Membership page before the renewal date.
• We did not find a published refund policy; ask before you join.
• Certification exams cost extra.
• Legitimacy signals we found: in business since 2005 in Carol Stream, Illinois; co-founder and president Steve Hanson ran a building service contracting company for 25 years; it says 10,000+ cleaning companies in 70+ countries have used it, and it announced its Clean Smart University online training in a 2017 PRWeb release.

Pick The Janitorial Store if you…

• want bidding and contract templates.
• want staff training.
• run a commercial cleaning company.

Pick ServiceM8 if you…

• want scheduling and invoicing software.
• want a mobile job app.
• do not need training content.

Our take

The Janitorial Store is a long-running resource for commercial cleaning owners, with useful bidding tools and training, but independent reviews are few, so start with the low-cost Pro plan and note the auto-renewal date.
