# Periodics

A term used when buying commercial cleaning.

Work quoted above the monthly contract, such as floor stripping, billed per service.

Periodics carry higher margins than the nightly route and are the honest test of whether a trailing year repeats: a seller who ran an unusual volume of floor work has inflated a number the buyer inherits without the contract to support it. Read them separately from the recurring base before crediting either.
