Room 01 / 07 Lobby and entry
Tap a number
Every tenant and visitor crosses the lobby, and it is the room property managers hear about long before anyone mentions a suite.
Room 01 / 07 · Pin 1 Every visit
Entry doors and glass
What it looks like
The crew starts at the door, since every hand in the building touches it. Push plates and pull handles get disinfectant on the cloth and stay wet for the label contact time. Then the glass is scrubbed and squeegeed on both sides, the lower third gets a second look where bags and strollers hit it, and the pane is checked against the light before the crew moves inside.
Steps
- Disinfect push plates and pull handles
- Scrub and squeegee the glass both sides
- Detail the lower third and frame edges
- Check for streaks against the light
Tools
- Squeegee and scrubber
- Blue microfiber (glass)
- EPA-registered disinfectant

Entry mat and walk-off
What it looks like
A walk-off mat only holds grit if somebody empties it. The mat gets vacuumed in two directions to open the pile, then a corner is lifted so the floor underneath can be swept and mopped. It goes back down square to the threshold with the edges flat.
Steps
- Vacuum the mat in two directions
- Lift it and clean the floor underneath
- Lay it back flat and square
- Flag curled or worn mats to management
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 01 / 07 · Pin 3 Every visit
Lobby hard floor
What it looks like
Dust-mop first, edges and corners included, so the wet pass is not just moving grit around. The damp mop with neutral cleaner starts at the far wall and backs out toward the door, and wet-floor signs stay up until it dries. On the way out the crew looks down the lane from the door to the elevator for haze or dull spots and writes them down for the next buff.
Steps
- Dust-mop edges and corners first
- Damp-mop with neutral floor cleaner
- Work from the far wall to the door
- Keep wet-floor signs up until dry
- Note dull traffic lanes for buffing
Tools
- Neutral floor cleaner
Room 01 / 07 · Pin 4 Every visit
Reception desk
What it looks like
The desk top, the counter ledge and the front panel at knee height get the yellow-coded cloth, and the crew wipes around whatever is left on the desk. The ledge where visitors lean and sign in, plus the pens, get disinfectant held wet for the contact time. The desk bin goes out with a new liner.
Steps
- Dust the desk top and front panel
- Disinfect the counter ledge and pens
- Wipe the visitor chair arms
- Empty the desk bin, replace the liner
Tools
- Colour-coded microfiber
- EPA-registered disinfectant
Room 01 / 07 · Pin 5 Every visit
Elevator buttons and cab
What it looks like
Call buttons, the cab panel and the cab handrail are the most-touched surfaces in a multi-tenant building. Disinfectant goes on the cloth, not the panel, so nothing runs into the button gaps, and it stays wet for the contact time. After that the stainless doors get wiped with the grain, the door track gets vacuumed and the cab floor gets its own pass.
Steps
- Disinfect call buttons and cab panel
- Wipe the cab handrail end to end
- Wipe stainless doors with the grain
- Vacuum grit out of the door track
- Vacuum or mop the cab floor
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 01 / 07 · Pin 6 Every visit
Stair rails
What it looks like
Hands grip a rail from underneath, so the crew wipes the underside as well as the top, along the full length. They start at the top landing and work down, posts and balusters included at hand height. The treads and nosings get vacuumed once the rail is done.
Steps
- Wipe rails top and underside
- Disinfect the full grip length
- Spot-clean balusters at hand height
- Vacuum treads and nosings
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 02 / 07 Open office
Tap a number
Most of the nightly hours go into the open office, and a slipping cleaner shows here first, in the bins under desks and the dust on monitor tops.
Room 02 / 07 · Pin 1 Every visit
Trash and recycling
What it looks like
Every bin gets emptied, the ones under desks included, and every liner is replaced. If something leaked, the inside of the can gets wiped before the new bag goes in. Recycling stays separate from trash all the way to the building containers.
Steps
- Empty bins under every desk
- Replace every liner
- Wipe out cans that leaked
- Keep recycling separate from trash
Room 02 / 07 · Pin 2 Every visit
Desks and monitor tops
What it looks like
Clear desk surfaces get dusted and wiped with the yellow-coded cloth, and the crew works around papers and screens left out. Monitor tops and window sills are dusted every visit. Phone handsets and keyboards get sanitized on the weekly rotation, with the cloth damp so nothing drips between the keys.
Steps
- Wipe clear desk surfaces
- Dust monitor tops and window sills
- Sanitize phone handsets weekly
- Sanitize keyboards weekly, cloth damp only
- Wipe chair arms
Tools
- Colour-coded microfiber
- EPA-registered disinfectant
Room 02 / 07 · Pin 3 Every visit
Carpet traffic lanes
What it looks like
Traffic lanes get the backpack vacuum every visit, starting at the far wall and finishing at the door. Corners and the space under desks get a detail pass weekly. A fresh spot gets treated the night it is found, before it sets.
Steps
- Vacuum traffic lanes every visit
- Detail-vacuum edges and under desks weekly
- Spot-clean stains the night they appear
- Extract office carpet every six months
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
- Hot-water extraction
Room 02 / 07 · Pin 4 Every visit
Switches and door handles
What it looks like
One cloth, one lap of the room for touch points: light switches, door handles, push plates, cabinet pulls. Disinfectant goes on the cloth and the surface stays wet for the label contact time. Before moving on, the crew checks the switch plate for the grey smudge around the toggle.
Steps
- Disinfect switches and switch plates
- Disinfect door handles and push plates
- Wipe cabinet and drawer pulls
- Hold the label contact time
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 02 / 07 · Pin 5 Weekly
Vents and high surfaces
What it looks like
Dusting goes top down. Supply vents, return grilles, light lenses and the tops of tall cabinets come first, so anything that falls lands before the vacuum pass. Grilles get a brush-head vacuum, since a damp wipe smears dust into the louvers.
Steps
- Vacuum vent and return grilles
- Dust light fixtures and ledges
- Dust tops of tall cabinets
- Vacuum the floor last
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 02 / 07 · Pin 6
Desk partitions
What it looks like
Fabric panels hold dust like a filter. The crew vacuums them with an upholstery tool from the top rail down, wipes the rail and the frame, and spot-cleans coffee splashes at desk height.
Steps
- Vacuum fabric panels top down
- Wipe top rails and frames
- Spot-clean splashes at desk height
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 03 / 07 Clinic
Tap a number
A clinic is cleaned after the last patient, with disinfectant held wet for its full contact time and cloths kept to their own zone.
Room 03 / 07 · Pin 1 Every visit
Exam table and counters
What it looks like
Exam rooms get an end-of-day terminal clean, working from the cleanest surfaces to the dirtiest. The table vinyl, rails and step are cleaned first, then disinfected with an EPA-registered product held wet for the label contact time. The counters, cabinet pulls, stool and side chair follow, with supplies staff left out cleaned around.
Steps
- Clean table vinyl, rails and step
- Disinfect, keep wet for contact time
- Wipe counters and cabinet pulls
- Disinfect the stool and side chair
- Report torn upholstery to clinic staff
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 03 / 07 · Pin 2 Every visit
Hand-wash sink
What it looks like
The sink is the last surface in the room and gets its own cloth, so nothing from it travels back to the counter. Basin, faucet handles and the splash wall get cleaned and then disinfected. Soap and towel dispensers are refilled and their levers wiped.
Steps
- Clean the basin and faucet handles
- Disinfect the splash wall
- Refill soap and paper towels
- Wipe dispenser levers
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 03 / 07 · Pin 3 Every visit
Intake counter
What it looks like
Every patient leans on the intake counter and signs something there. The crew wipes the counter, the shield, pens and clipboards, with disinfectant applied to the cloth so none runs into the card reader or the keyboard.
Steps
- Disinfect the counter and shield
- Sanitize pens and clipboards
- Wipe the card reader with a damp cloth
- Empty the bin, replace the liner
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 03 / 07 · Pin 4 Every visit
Waiting room chairs
What it looks like
Arms, the front edge of the seat and the back rail take the most contact. Vinyl chairs get disinfected and held wet; fabric seats get vacuumed and spot-cleaned. The play corner surfaces get the same disinfectant pass as the chairs.
Steps
- Wipe chairs and armrests
- Disinfect vinyl, hold contact time
- Vacuum fabric seats
- Clean the kids' play area surfaces
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 03 / 07 · Pin 5 Every visit
Exam room floor
What it looks like
Floors go last, after every surface above them. The crew HEPA-vacuums first, then wet-mops with disinfectant and leaves it for the dwell time on the label. They work from the far corner to the door with a mop head that stays in that zone.
Steps
- HEPA-vacuum before any wet work
- Mop with disinfectant, hold dwell time
- Work from far corner to the door
- Use a fresh mop head per zone
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 03 / 07 · Pin 6
Sharps and red-bag waste
What it looks like
Sharps containers and red-bag waste usually belong to the licensed medical waste hauler, and the scope says so. The crew cleans the wall and counter around the container and leaves the container itself closed and in place. A full one goes on the visit report for staff.
Steps
- Leave sharps and red bags to the hauler
- Clean the wall around the container
- Note full containers for staff
Room 04 / 07 Retail floor
Tap a number
A store's cleaning has to be finished, and the floor dry, before the first customer walks in, so the work runs overnight or early morning.
Room 04 / 07 · Pin 1 Weekly or every other week
Storefront glass
What it looks like
The frame and sill get wiped before the glass. Street dust and old sign adhesive come off next, then the pane is scrubbed and squeegeed top down in overlapping strokes. The crew checks it from the sales floor against the daylight before moving to the door.
Steps
- Wipe the frame and sill first
- Remove sign adhesive and street dust
- Scrub and squeegee top down
- Check against daylight from inside
Tools
- Squeegee and scrubber
- Blue microfiber (glass)
Room 04 / 07 · Pin 2 Every visit
Entry door and mat
What it looks like
Customers push the door in the same spot all day, so the push bar and the glass around it get disinfected and polished every visit. The mat gets vacuumed both ways, then lifted, and the floor under it is swept and mopped before it goes back down flat.
Steps
- Disinfect the push bar and pull
- Polish the door glass both sides
- Vacuum the mat both ways
- Mop under the mat, lay it flat
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 04 / 07 · Pin 3 Every visit
Checkout and display cases
What it looks like
The counter and bag well get wiped and disinfected, and the card terminal gets a damp cloth only. Glass cases by the register take the most fingerprints, so they get polished every visit with the blue cloth: tops first, then the fronts at hip height where customers lean.
Steps
- Disinfect the counter and bag well
- Wipe the card terminal with a damp cloth
- Polish display case tops and fronts
- Empty the register bin, replace the liner
Tools
- Blue microfiber (glass)
- EPA-registered disinfectant
Room 04 / 07 · Pin 4 Every visit
Fitting rooms
What it looks like
Pins, tags and stray hangers come out first. Hooks, the bench and the door latch get disinfected, and the mirror gets the glass cloth. The floor is vacuumed or mopped into the corners, and the crew checks under the bench before closing the door.
Steps
- Pick up pins, tags and hangers
- Disinfect hooks, bench and latch
- Clean the mirror streak-free
- Vacuum or mop into the corners
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Blue microfiber (glass)
Room 04 / 07 · Pin 5
Shelves and fixtures
What it looks like
Fixture tops, end caps and shelf edges get dusted with a damp microfiber from the top down, around the merchandise on display. Sign holders get wiped, and so do the kick plates at the bottom of each run, where mops and carts leave marks.
Steps
- Dust fixture tops and end caps
- Work from the top shelf down
- Wipe sign holders and shelf edges
- Wipe kick plates at floor level
Tools
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 04 / 07 · Pin 6 Every visit
Sales floor
What it looks like
The aisles get dust-mopped, then scrubbed or damp-mopped with neutral cleaner early enough that the floor is dry well before opening. Strip and wax on hard floors and extraction on carpet run on their own schedule. On the way out the crew checks the entry aisle for haze or a dull lane.
Steps
- Dust-mop aisles and under fixtures
- Scrub or mop with neutral cleaner
- Finish early enough to dry before opening
- Note dull lanes for strip and wax
Tools
- Auto-scrubber
- Neutral floor cleaner
Room 05 / 07 Corridors
Tap a number
Corridors carry every trip between suites, restrooms and the elevator, so the floor wears in lanes long before the rest of the building shows it.
Room 05 / 07 · Pin 1 Yearly, in September
VCT care and refinish
What it looks like
On a normal visit the VCT gets a dust mop and a damp mop with neutral cleaner, which keeps grit from grinding the finish. The traffic lanes get buffed quarterly, or more often at busy entries. Once a year, in September, the old finish is stripped to bare tile, rinsed until the floor is neutral, and 4–5 coats of new finish go down with full dry time between each.
Steps
- Dust-mop and damp-mop every visit
- Buff traffic lanes quarterly or more
- Strip to bare tile once a year
- Rinse and neutralize before coating
- Lay 4–5 coats, drying between each
Tools
- Neutral floor cleaner
- Auto-scrubber
Room 05 / 07 · Pin 2 Quarterly
Carpet runner extraction
What it looks like
Vacuuming does most of the work on a runner, so it gets slow, overlapping passes every visit. Between extractions, low-moisture encapsulation dries into crystals around what the vacuum missed, and the next vacuuming lifts them out. Hot-water extraction on main halls is booked for a Friday evening with the HVAC left on, after the crew has checked which methods the carpet maker allows.
Steps
- Check the carpet maker's approved methods
- Vacuum with slow overlapping passes
- Pre-treat spots before extraction
- Encapsulate between extractions
- Extract Friday evening, HVAC left on
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
- Low-moisture encapsulation
- Hot-water extraction
Room 05 / 07 · Pin 3 Monthly
Baseboards and edges
What it looks like
Upright vacuums leave the last inch along the wall, so the edges get a crevice-tool pass. Baseboards are wiped damp from one door to the next. Cart and chair scuffs come off with a white pad, and anything that would take paint with it gets noted instead.
Steps
- Detail-vacuum corners and edges
- Wipe baseboards door to door
- Lift scuffs with a white pad
- Check corners where mop water dries
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 05 / 07 · Pin 4 Every visit
Entry mat and threshold
What it looks like
The mat at the corridor entry catches whatever comes off the elevator and the stairs. It gets vacuumed both ways, the floor under it is swept, and the metal threshold strip is wiped so grit stays out of the carpet.
Steps
- Vacuum the mat both ways
- Sweep and mop under the mat
- Wipe the threshold strip
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 05 / 07 · Pin 5 Every visit
Elevator landing and switches
What it looks like
On every floor the call buttons and the light switches get disinfectant on the cloth and the full contact time. Then the stainless doors are wiped top to bottom with the grain. The sill track goes last, vacuumed out, because grit packs into that groove.
Steps
- Disinfect call buttons and light switches
- Wipe stainless doors with the grain
- Vacuum the elevator sill track
- Wipe push bars on the fire doors
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 05 / 07 · Pin 6 Quarterly
Lights and high dusting
What it looks like
High dusting runs top down: light lenses, vent grilles, door tops and exit signs, then ledges, then the floor. The crew uses a HEPA vacuum with a brush head instead of a feather duster, so the dust ends up in the bag. Burned-out lamps get noted for building maintenance.
Steps
- Vacuum light lenses and vent grilles
- Dust door tops and exit signs
- Work top down, floor last
- Note burned-out lamps for maintenance
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 06 / 07 Interior glass
Tap a number
Door glass, sidelites and interior partitions collect handprints every day, and a quick spray-and-wipe leaves streaks people notice from across the room.
Room 06 / 07 · Pin 1 Quarterly or twice a year
Glass partitions
What it looks like
Before any glass gets touched, the crew walks it and notes existing scratches. Each pane is then worked the same way: frame and track first, scrubber on the glass, squeegee in overlapping strokes from the top, edges detailed with a dry blue cloth. The pane gets checked from both sides and at an angle to the light before the next one.
Steps
- Inspect and note existing scratches
- Clean the frame and track first
- Scrub, then squeegee top down
- Detail edges with blue microfiber
- Check both sides against the light
Tools
- Squeegee and scrubber
- Blue microfiber (glass)
Room 06 / 07 · Pin 2 Quarterly or twice a year
Conference room glass
What it looks like
Conference glass can ride along on the regular janitorial visit. The crew resets the room first, then works the glass with a damp sleeve so nothing runs onto the table or the carpet. The frosted privacy band gets a damp cloth by hand and never a blade.
Steps
- Reset the room before the glass
- Scrub with a damp, not dripping, sleeve
- Squeegee and detail the edges
- Hand-wipe the privacy band, no blade
Tools
- Squeegee and scrubber
- Blue microfiber (glass)
Room 06 / 07 · Pin 3 Every visit
Glass door and sidelite
What it looks like
People push glass doors at the same height every time. The pull and push plate get disinfectant first, then the glass around them is cleaned on both sides. The sidelite next to the door gets the same scrub and squeegee, with the bottom edge and gaskets detailed by hand.
Steps
- Disinfect the pull and push plate
- Clean door glass both sides
- Squeegee the sidelite top to bottom
- Detail bottom edges and gaskets
Tools
- Squeegee and scrubber
- EPA-registered disinfectant
Room 06 / 07 · Pin 4 Quarterly or twice a year
Frames, mullions and sills
What it looks like
Frames and sills are cleaned before the glass, so dirt rinsed off a frame never runs down a finished pane. Tracks and sill channels get a crevice-tool vacuum, the mullions get wiped damp, and the channels are dried so no water sits in them.
Steps
- Vacuum tracks and sill channels
- Wipe mullions and frames damp
- Dry channels after wiping
- Lift old adhesive from frames
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 06 / 07 · Pin 5 Weekly or every other week
Storefront glass
What it looks like
Storefront glass carries street dust and old sign adhesive on top of the handprints. The adhesive comes off first with a blade held flat on wet glass, then the pane is scrubbed and squeegeed. Last, the crew looks at it from inside against the daylight, the way a customer sees it walking in.
Steps
- Wet the glass before any blade
- Remove sign adhesive and street film
- Scrub and squeegee top down
- Check against daylight from inside
Tools
- Squeegee and scrubber
- Blue microfiber (glass)
Room 07 / 07 Shared laundry
Tap a number
Dryers that need two cycles per load usually have a vent line packed with lint, and failure to clean is the leading factor in residential dryer fires.
Room 07 / 07 · Pin 1 Every six months
Lint screen and drum
What it looks like
The screen gets pulled, brushed, and washed if dryer sheets have glazed the mesh. Lint packs into the housing below the screen, so the crew vacuums that out too. The drum and door seal get wiped, and the screen goes back fully seated.
Steps
- Brush and wash the lint screen
- Vacuum the screen housing
- Wipe the drum and door seal
- Reseat the screen fully
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 07 / 07 · Pin 2 Every six months
Vent duct run
What it looks like
The dryer comes out from the wall and the transition duct is disconnected. A rotary brush runs the full length of the line while a HEPA vacuum pulls out the loosened lint. The duct goes back on without kinks or crushed sections, and every vent gets dated before-and-after photos.
Steps
- Pull the dryer, disconnect the duct
- Run the rotary brush the full length
- Capture lint with the HEPA vacuum
- Reconnect without kinks or crush points
- Photograph before and after, dated
Tools
- Rotary brush
- HEPA backpack vacuum
Room 07 / 07 · Pin 3 Every six months
Exterior hood and flap
What it looks like
Outside, the crew clears lint and any bird nest out of the hood. Then a dryer runs while they check that the flap opens fully and the airflow at the outlet is strong. A flap that sticks or weak airflow gets photographed and flagged.
Steps
- Clear lint and nests from the hood
- Run a dryer, check the flap opens
- Check airflow at the outlet
- Photograph the hood when done
Tools
- Rotary brush
Room 07 / 07 · Pin 4
Washers
What it looks like
Lids, doors and control panels get wiped and disinfected. The detergent and softener trays come out and get rinsed where buildup collects. On front loaders the crew wipes inside the door gasket folds, where water sits and turns sour.
Steps
- Disinfect lids, doors and controls
- Rinse detergent and softener trays
- Wipe front-loader gasket folds
- Wipe machine tops and sides
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
- Colour-coded microfiber
Room 07 / 07 · Pin 5
Folding tables and trash
What it looks like
Lint and used dryer sheets get cleared off the tables, then the tops and the edge people lean on are disinfected. The trash goes out with a new liner, and the posted rules sheet gets a wipe.
Steps
- Clear lint and dryer sheets
- Disinfect table tops and edges
- Empty trash, replace the liner
- Wipe the posted rules sheet
Tools
- EPA-registered disinfectant
Room 07 / 07 · Pin 6
Floor behind the machines
What it looks like
Lint and spilled detergent collect along the base of the machines and in the gaps between them. The crew vacuums those gaps with a crevice tool, then mops with neutral cleaner from the back wall out to the door.
Steps
- Vacuum gaps between and behind machines
- Lift spilled detergent off the floor
- Mop with neutral cleaner to the door
Tools
- HEPA backpack vacuum
- Neutral floor cleaner

Office & Workspace Cleaning
Most offices that call us had a cleaner who started strong and was skipping the bins under desks by month three.
- Typical schedule
- Nightly for offices over about 20 people; three nights a week for 2,000–10,000 sq ft suites; weekly plus a monthly detail visit for small offices with private restrooms
- Every nightly visit
- Bins emptied and relined, restrooms detailed, kitchen counters and sink sanitized, handles and switches disinfected, traffic lanes vacuumed, monitor tops and sills dusted
- Products
- Supplies and equipment included; Green Seal or EPA Safer Choice on request
Any floor with a shared kitchen and public restrooms usually needs nightly service, whatever the headcount. On three nights a week, detail vacuuming and high dusting rotate across the visits. If the budget forces fewer nights, cut dusting and carpet rotation before restrooms and trash. A new build-out needs post-construction cleaning first, through the final clean that specs list as CSI MasterFormat 01 74 23.
02 / 09
Medical & Dental Facility Cleaning
The risk in a clinic is a crew that wipes disinfectant off too soon or carries a restroom cloth into exam rooms.
- Schedule
- After the last patient, evenings or weekends
After a medical TI, our construction cleanup crew adds a third pass on the ceiling tiles, because dust keeps settling out of the grid.
03 / 09
Retail & Storefront Cleaning
A store's cleaning has to be finished, and the floor dry, before the first customer walks in.
- Floors
- Strip and wax on hard surfaces, extraction on carpet
Access works differently on a NW 23rd street front than inside Bridgeport Village or a Pearl District mixed-use building. Keys, alarm codes, dock times and center service hours go into the scope before the first night.
04 / 09
Multi-Tenant Building Cleaning
Property managers hear about the lobby and the elevator long before anyone complains about the inside of a suite.
- Areas
- Lobbies, elevator cabs, hallways, stairwells, shared restrooms, garage entrances
- Coordination
- On-site management, fob and badge access, tenant hours
Common areas get their own scope instead of whatever time the suites leave. In apartment buildings, ORS 90.320 requires a landlord to keep all areas under the landlord's control "clean, sanitary and free from all accumulations of debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin."
05 / 09
Commercial Carpet Cleaning
Entry carpet takes more foot traffic than any other floor, and vacuuming alone won't pull out what settles into the pile.
- Methods
- Hot water extraction, low-moisture encapsulation, bonnet
- Dry time
- About 4–8 hrs extraction, 1–2 hrs encapsulation, 30–60 min bonnet
- Typical schedule
- Lobbies and main halls quarterly; office areas every six months
Shaw's commercial carpet maintenance checklist credits proper vacuuming with removing 80 to 85 percent of dry soil. Shaw also says not to bonnet its printed carpet at all. Mohawk's warranty excludes methods Mohawk didn't approve, so we read the maker's guide first and keep the records.
06 / 09
Hard Floor Care
Daily mopping can't restore a VCT finish once the traffic lanes have worn down to dull gray.
- Other floors
- Grout restored and sealed; concrete resealed when the sheen fades; hardwood with pH-neutral products only
Once the finish wears through, traffic grinds the tile itself, and the fix is new tile. Betco's directions for its Hi-Tech finish call for at least 4 coats. Finish makers including Betco note that humidity extends dry time between coats, so we strip in September while the air is still warm and dry. Low-VOC finishes certified to Green Seal GS-40 are available.
07 / 09
Interior Window Cleaning
Door glass, sidelites and interior partitions collect handprints every day, and a quick spray-and-wipe leaves streaks.
- Typical schedule
- Storefronts weekly or every other week; offices quarterly or twice a year
- Exterior and upper-floor glass
- Quoted separately
Glass partitions and conference-room walls can ride along on the regular janitorial visit instead of a separate trip.
08 / 09
Disinfection & Sanitization
When illness moves through a building, a crew that sprays and wipes in one pass isn't meeting the disinfectant's label claim.
- Methods
- Manual wipe-down; electrostatic spraying with label-approved products
- Contact time
- Per the EPA label, 30 seconds to 10 minutes depending on product
- Peak demand
- Flu season, which most often peaks December to February (CDC)
CDC says to clean first, because dirt makes it harder for the chemical to kill germs, then keep the surface wet for the full contact time. CDC doesn't recommend spraying or fogging as a primary method unless the label allows it, so we fog only when the label and the space support it. Safety Data Sheets come with every product.
09 / 09
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryers in a shared laundry room that need two cycles per load usually have a vent line packed with lint.
- Typical schedule
- Shared-laundry apartments every 6 months; hotels quarterly; laundromats monthly to quarterly
The U.S. Fire Administration's report on dryer fires in residential buildings, apartments included, found failure to clean was the leading factor. We also clean vents for gyms, nursing homes and salons. Portland Fire & Rescue inspects commercial buildings and apartment buildings of three or more units every two years, so keep the dated before-and-after photos handy.

| Facility | Per sq ft per month | |
|---|---|---|
| Small offices Under 2,000 sq ft | Under 2,000 sq ft | $0.12–$0.25 |
| Mid-size facilities 2,000–10,000 sq ft | 2,000–10,000 sq ft | $0.10–$0.20 |

Why the range
Frequency moves the price most. A 5,000 sq ft office cleaned 5x/week costs less per visit than the same space cleaned 1x/week, because setup and travel spread across more visits. The Portland cleaning rates guide breaks it down by city and size.

Recurring service
Need It Every Night?
Nightly and weekly cleaning runs as a recurring program under our janitorial services team, with a formal review at day 30. A program can start with a one-time deep clean, so the nightly crew begins on a clean building.

Questions
Common Questions About Commercial Cleaning in Portland, Oregon
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Portland, Oregon?
Most offices in Portland, Oregon pay $0.10–$0.25 per square foot a month for recurring commercial cleaning service. A small office on weekly cleaning typically runs $150–$400/month, and larger facilities on a 3–5x/week schedule run $1,200–$2,400/month. Medical and food-service facilities cost more, and we quote a flat monthly price after a walkthrough.
Do you clean after business hours?
Yes. Most of our commercial clients use nightly or early-morning service. Day porter service covers restroom checks, spills and lobby upkeep during business hours.
What's the difference between commercial cleaning and janitorial services?
They overlap. Commercial cleaning is the broader service, including floor care and deep cleaning, while janitorial services means recurring tasks like trash, restrooms and vacuuming. Most facilities need both, so our contracts bundle them into one program.
Are your employees background-checked and insured?
Yes. Our crews are a mix of W-2 employees and vetted 1099 subcontractors, each background-checked and SSN-verified before their first visit. We carry $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate general liability, are bonded, and issue a certificate of insurance with additional insured at onboarding.
How fast can you start?
About two weeks from walkthrough to first clean, covering your cleaning plan, crew assignment and security access. For emergencies, we can mobilize same-day or next-day.
What if something gets missed?
Call or text your account manager directly. You hear back the same day, or the next business day after hours, and the re-clean is free. Every visit is logged with a checklist, timestamps and photos, so any dispute has a record.
What areas in Portland, Oregon do you provide commercial cleaning?
We provide commercial cleaning services throughout the Portland, Oregon metro, including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Gresham, Happy Valley, Clackamas and Vancouver, WA. Most facilities within 30 miles of Portland are in range.
