Commercial Cleaning Vs Janitorial Cleaning

At Stratus Building Solutions, we know that keeping your place
of business clean is a top priority. It serves to make a good first
impression to visitors, keeps employees productive, and prevents the spread
of germs. Even though “clean” is one word, there are actually a wide range of
tasks and jobs that go into the act of cleaning. When hiring a professional
cleaning company, there are also different terms that have different meanings
regarding the service you are receiving.

Specifically, janitorial cleaning services are not exactly the
same as commercial
cleaning services. They both involve
cleaning, but the actions involved are different. Let’s talk about what sets
these two services apart so you can make sure you are getting the right
services for your business!

Janitorial Cleaning Services Are
Everyday Tasks

Janitorial cleaning services include smaller, daily cleaning
duties that keep a building looking pristine. This ensures that your
building, whether it is an office, retail space, warehouse, or restaurant, is
clean and well maintained. Typically, workers will be on site during regular
business hours so that they can keep up with daily activities, but they might
work after hours as well. Some of the cleaning tasks you can expect may
include:

• Cleaning high-touch areas
• Cleaning shared spaces like kitchens or break rooms
• Cleaning the restroom
• Cleaning windows, mirrors, and other reflective
  surfaces
• Dusting
• Emptying the trash
• Spot cleaning marks on walls or baseboards
• Sweeping and mopping hard surfaces
• Vacuuming carpets
    

With professional janitorial services, you can rest assured that
your building is always ready for guests and that your business will always
be ready to make a shining impression!

Commercial Cleaning Services Are
Bigger, Less Frequent Tasks

While janitorial cleaning involves emptying the trash and other
daily tasks, commercial cleaning is different. This is characterized by those
larger, specialized tasks that are not usually handled by the janitorial
staff. These are usually jobs that need to be performed once or twice a year
as opposed to on a regular basis, and they may include:

• Deep carpet cleaning
• Grout cleaning
• Hard floor stripping, waxing, and finishing
• Hard surface deep cleaning
• Pressure washing
• Upholstery and furniture cleaning
• Window washing
    

With commercial cleaning services, your business can have
confidence that your building is well maintained throughout the year and that
any occasionally needed cleaning services are covered to prevent costly
restorations or repairs in the future.

Stratus Offers Both Janitorial and
Commercial Cleaning Services

In summary, if you need daily cleaning services that keep your
office or business looking pristine, then janitorial cleaning is the way to
go. If you are in need of those bigger cleaning projects, then commercial
cleaning will be a better fit. Or perhaps you need both!

The good news is that Stratus can handle all of the dirty work for you.
