Upgrade Your Equipment. Keep More of Your Money.
Thinking about upgrading your commercial cleaning equipment? The Section 179 tax deduction could help your business invest in equipment today while reducing your 2026 federal taxable income.
And here's the best part: qualifying financed equipment may still be eligible for the deduction.
What Is the Section 179 Deduction?
Section 179 allows eligible businesses to deduct qualifying equipment costs in the year the equipment is placed in service instead of depreciating those costs over several years.
For tax years beginning in 2026, businesses may deduct up to $2,560,000 under Section 179.
The deduction begins to phase out when total qualifying equipment purchases exceed $4,090,000. Business-income and other eligibility limits also apply.

Finance Your Equipment and Still Explore the Tax Benefits
One of the most valuable features of Section 179 is that eligible equipment does not necessarily have to be paid off during the year to qualify.
When qualifying equipment is purchased using financing, the deduction may be based on its eligible purchase cost rather than only the payments made during the year.
Spread Out Your Payments
Financing can help preserve working capital while giving your business access to the equipment it needs.
Potential First-Year Deduction
Depending on eligibility, you may be able to deduct qualifying costs during the year the equipment is placed in service.
Improve Productivity
Newer cleaning equipment can help reduce downtime, increase output, and improve cleaning efficiency.
Keep Cash Available
Rather than paying the full purchase price upfront, financing may allow you to retain cash for operations.
100% Bonus Depreciation Is Also Available
Federal tax law provides a 100% additional first-year depreciation allowance for eligible property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025.
Section 179 and bonus depreciation have different eligibility requirements and limitations. Your tax professional can help determine which method, or combination of methods, may benefit your business.
The same equipment cost cannot be deducted twice.

Don't Miss the 2026 Deadline
For businesses using a calendar tax year, eligible equipment generally must be placed in service by December 31, 2026 to qualify for a deduction for that year.
Being placed in service means the equipment is ready and available for its intended business use.
Simply placing an order, paying a deposit, or receiving financing approval does not by itself satisfy this requirement.
