Nightly Janitorial

The building is clean when the first person walks in. Every morning.

Restrooms, break rooms, trash and recycling, dusting, glass, vacuuming and hard-floor care on a documented checklist. Crews arrive after close and lock up behind them.

What it is

The same crew, month after month

That difference is the single thing we would ask you to judge us on, because it is what everything else rests on.

The two people in your building on Tuesday are the same two people who were there last month. They know which door sticks, which office keeps confidential paper on the desk, which tenant works late on Thursdays, and which carpet stain is old and which one is new. A crew that changes every few weeks cannot know any of that, and every new face has to be trained, badged and trusted with your keys again.

It is not only the cleaners. The same supervisor inspects your building each time, so the person scoring the work has seen it before and can tell you whether it is getting better or worse. The same window crew comes back for the glass. The same account manager answers the phone. When you have a problem, you are not explaining your building from scratch to somebody who has never stood in it.

The checklist is written for your building

Not copied from a template. A dental office and a law firm both get "restrooms cleaned", but what that line means, what chemicals it uses and how it is documented are not the same — and the scope we write says which.

Every cleaner is our employee: background-checked, trained in our own program, uniformed and badged.

What's included

A standard nightly scope for an office or clinic. Yours is written line by line at the walkthrough and can add or drop any of these.

Every visit

Weekly

Monthly and quarterly

Supplies, on the same invoice

We supply paper towel, toilet tissue, hand soap, sanitizer, can liners and the rest of the consumables, restocked by the crew that uses them. Nobody discovers an empty dispenser at 7:30 am, nobody at your end places an order, and it arrives on the invoice you already get.

It is worth asking about even if you have a supplier today. We buy at a volume a single building cannot, we know what runs out in your building because we are the ones replacing it, and the dispensers you already own usually take what we stock. If they do not, we will tell you rather than sell you new dispensers.

How often it's really needed

This is the question a good proposal answers before you ask it. "Nightly" is the default because most buildings need it, but a fair number don't, and paying for five nights when three would do is money that should go into floor care instead. What actually decides it is not square footage. It is people and restrooms: how many bodies come through the door in a day, and how many fixtures they use. Pick a frequency below to see what changes.

Best for: anything with public restrooms, food, patients or customers on site daily.

Verdict: if you have ever had a restroom complaint from a visitor, this is the tier.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday is the usual pattern, so nothing goes more than two days.

Verdict: the most common right answer for a quiet office.

Tuesday and Friday keeps Monday mornings and weekends covered.

Verdict: honest choice for a small, tidy office. If the restroom count is above one per eight people, step up.

Best for: very small or rarely used spaces: a five-person office, a storage-heavy unit, a church office, a meeting space used a few times a week. Weekly is a reset, not maintenance.

Verdict: fine for the right space. If anyone eats lunch at their desk, it is not the right space.
