Coverage
Multi-tenant buildings often pair a night crew with a day porter.
Nightly janitorial
After hours, 5 to 7 nights a week.
Split shifts
A morning crew and an evening crew on the same day.
Weekend-only
Work done while the building is empty.
Services
Four setups cover most buildings we work in. Medical, retail and other facility scopes are on our commercial cleaning in Portland page.
What we clean
Pick a room, then a number, to see how the crew does that task and how often.
Room 01 / 05 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 / 05 · 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.

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
Tools
Room 01 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 01 / 05 · 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.

Room 01 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 01 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 02 / 05 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 / 05 · 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
Room 02 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 02 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 02 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 02 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 02 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 03 / 05 Restrooms
Tap a number
Restrooms take the most time on a visit, and a mop alone leaves grime in the corner around every toilet.
Room 03 / 05 · Pin 1 Every visit
Toilets and urinals
What it looks like
Disinfectant goes into the bowl and onto the seat, hinges and base first, and it stays wet for the full label contact time while the crew does the mirrors. Then the bowl gets scrubbed under the rim. Everything outside it is wiped top to bottom with the red-coded cloth: flush handle, both sides of the seat, the base and behind it.
Steps
Tools
Room 03 / 05 · Pin 2 Every visit
Sinks and faucets
What it looks like
Sinks and counters get cleaned before they get disinfected, because soap scum shields germs from the chemical. Buildup collects at the base of the faucet, so that gets a brush. The chrome is dried and buffed so it does not water-spot.
Steps
Tools
Room 03 / 05 · Pin 3 Every visit
Mirrors
What it looks like
Mirrors get the blue glass cloth, never the restroom cloth. The crew wipes from the top in an S pattern and finishes on the splash line along the bottom edge, then checks the glass at an angle for streaks.
Steps
Tools
Room 03 / 05 · Pin 4 Every visit
Dispensers and restock
What it looks like
Every dispenser gets opened, since you cannot judge a roll from the outside. Soap, towels and toilet paper are topped up, and the outside of each unit, its lever and the hand dryer get disinfected. Low stock goes on the visit report so the reorder happens before the building runs out.
Steps
Tools
Room 03 / 05 · Pin 5 Every visit
Stall doors and latches
What it looks like
Stall latches, door pulls and coat hooks take hands all day, so they get disinfectant with the contact time held. Partition walls are wiped top to bottom. The crew checks the lower panels and the gap at the floor, where splash shows first.
Steps
Tools
Room 03 / 05 · Pin 6 Every visit
Floor and drain
What it looks like
The floor around each toilet and urinal is scrubbed by hand, because a mop pushes dirty water into the grout and leaves the buildup that makes a restroom smell. Then it is mopped from the back wall toward the door. A cup of water goes down the floor drain so the trap does not dry out.
Steps
Tools
Room 04 / 05 Break room
Tap a number
Everyone in the office eats, drinks and washes up in the break room, so it gets its own green-coded cloths and a full wipe-down every visit.
Room 04 / 05 · Pin 1 Every visit
Counters and sink
What it looks like
Counters are wiped with the green-coded cloth, then disinfected and left wet for the label contact time. The sink comes next: basin and faucet scrubbed, drain strainer emptied. Stainless gets wiped dry at the end so it does not spot overnight.
Steps
Tools
Room 04 / 05 · Pin 2 Monthly
Fridge, inside and out
What it looks like
The handle and door front get wiped and disinfected every visit, since everyone opens it. On the monthly rotation the inside gets a deep clean: shelves and drawers wiped, spills lifted, door gaskets cleaned in the folds where mold starts. The scope says who clears out old food beforehand.
Steps
Tools
Room 04 / 05 · Pin 3 Monthly
Microwave
What it looks like
A bowl of water runs for a minute first, and the steam softens the dried splatter. Then the ceiling, walls and turntable get wiped out. The keypad and handle take disinfectant on the cloth so none runs into the buttons.
Steps
Tools
Room 04 / 05 · Pin 4 Every visit
Coffee station
What it looks like
Grounds and sugar end up under and behind the machine. The crew wipes the machine exterior and drip tray, pulls it forward to clean the counter behind it, and disinfects the levers and the cabinet pulls nearby.
Steps
Tools
Room 04 / 05 · Pin 5 Every visit
Bins and recycling
What it looks like
Food waste sours overnight, so trash and recycling go out every visit with new liners. The lids and push flaps get wiped where hands land. The floor under the bins gets mopped before they go back.
Steps
Room 04 / 05 · Pin 6 Every visit
Tables and floor
What it looks like
Tables and chair seats get wiped before the floor, so drips land on a floor that has not been mopped yet. Chairs come out from the table and the crew mops under them and around the table legs with neutral cleaner. Sticky spots by the sink and the coffee station get a second pass.
Steps
Tools
Room 05 / 05 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 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 05 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 05 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 05 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 05 / 05 · 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
Tools
Room 05 / 05 · 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
Tools
01 / 04
A day porter keeps restrooms and the lobby in shape while the building is full.
A porter covers the hours between night cleans, in buildings that put 200 or more people through shared restrooms every day.
02 / 04
The full-building clean, done after close so none of it interrupts the workday.
In Pearl District and downtown multi-tenant buildings, the crew works inside the alarm and fob system without calling building management. The office checklist is under office cleaning on our commercial cleaning page.
03 / 04
Nightly cleaning won't restore a worn floor finish or pull the soil out of a carpet traffic lane, so that work runs on its own calendar.
Restoring a floor costs more than keeping it up. The strip and wax goes in September, while the air is still warm and dry.
04 / 04
Once or twice a year, the work that sits outside the nightly checklist.
A one-time commercial deep cleaning before the first night also gives a new program a clean start. After a renovation or TI build-out, book post-construction cleaning instead, finished to CSI MasterFormat 01 74 23.
Pricing
Monthly ranges for recurring programs in the Portland metro, 2026. Deep cleans are quoted separately.
| 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 |
| Large facilities 10,000+ sq ft | 10,000+ sq ft | $0.07–$0.15 |
The ranges assume about one visit a week. A 5,000 sq ft office runs $500–$1,000 a month weekly and roughly $1,200–$2,400 at three nights a week. The Portland cleaning rates guide breaks it down by city.

Service area
We run recurring janitorial programs across the Portland metro.
In Portland, regular routes run through downtown, the Pearl District, Lloyd District, Central Eastside, NW 23rd, South Waterfront, Sellwood-Moreland, Hawthorne, Division, Alberta, Mississippi and Hollywood. We also clean in Milwaukie, Oregon City, West Linn, Aloha, Tualatin and Wilsonville.
Questions
Recurring janitorial in the Portland metro runs $0.12–$0.25 per square foot a month under 2,000 sq ft, $0.10–$0.20 from 2,000 to 10,000 sq ft, and $0.07–$0.15 above that, at about one visit a week. More nights raise the monthly total. We quote one flat monthly price after a walkthrough.
Janitorial is recurring work done nightly or weekly by the same crew for one monthly price. Commercial cleaning covers jobs booked one at a time, like a deep clean or a floor strip and wax. Most facilities need both.
Yes. A porter works on site during business hours and checks restrooms every one to two hours. Part-time coverage is 4 hours a day, and porter hours can be added to any nightly schedule.
A janitor cleans after hours, so the building is ready before your team walks in. A day porter works business hours, checking restrooms and the lobby while people use them. Busy multi-tenant buildings usually run both.
Month-to-month by default, no contract required. If you want the price fixed, take a 12-month term with the monthly price locked. On that term, if we miss a visit, or don't respond to a reported problem by the next business day and re-clean it free, you can leave on 30 days' written notice with no cancellation fee.
Call or text your account manager. You hear back the same day, or the next business day after hours, and the re-clean is free. The visit record shows what was done.
Yes. Crews are a mix of W-2 employees and vetted 1099 subcontractors, all background-checked and SSN-verified. We carry $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate general liability, we're bonded, and we issue a certificate of insurance at onboarding.
