A clean workplace does more than make a great first impression—it helps create a healthier, safer, and more productive environment for employees, customers, and visitors. At Exceptional Touch Cleaning, we often receive questions from business owners and property managers about commercial cleaning services, scheduling, costs, and what to expect.
To help, we've compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about professional commercial cleaning.
1. How Often Should My Business Be Professionally Cleaned?
The frequency depends on your type of business, the number of employees, and the amount of daily traffic your facility receives.
Typical recommendations include:
- Offices: 1–5 times per week
- Medical clinics: Daily cleaning and sanitization
- Retail stores: Daily or several times per week
- Industrial facilities: Customized schedules based on operations
- Common areas in commercial buildings: Daily or weekly
A professional cleaning company can assess your facility and recommend a schedule that balances cleanliness and budget.
2. What's Included in Commercial Cleaning Services?
Commercial cleaning services can be customized to your needs. Common services include:
- Dusting and disinfecting surfaces
- Vacuuming carpets
- Sweeping and mopping floors
- Washroom cleaning and sanitization
- Emptying garbage and recycling bins
- Kitchen and breakroom cleaning
- Glass and window cleaning
- High-touch surface disinfection
Additional specialty services such as carpet cleaning, floor stripping and waxing, power washing, and post-construction cleanup can also be provided.
3. Are Cleaning Supplies and Equipment Included?
Yes. Most professional cleaning companies provide all necessary cleaning supplies, equipment, and products as part of their service. This ensures consistent quality and proper use of commercial-grade products.
If your business requires specific environmentally friendly or industry-approved cleaning products, these can often be accommodated.
4. Can Cleaning Be Scheduled Outside Business Hours?
Absolutely.
Many businesses prefer cleaning services after hours, early mornings, evenings, or weekends to avoid disrupting employees and customers. Professional cleaning schedules are designed around your operations to minimize interruptions.
5. How Much Does Commercial Cleaning Cost?
The cost depends on several factors:
- Size of the facility
- Frequency of service
- Type of business
- Scope of cleaning required
- Specialty services needed
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all pricing, reputable cleaning companies provide customized quotes based on your specific requirements.
6. Are Your Cleaning Staff Insured and Bonded?
This is an important question every business owner should ask.
A professional cleaning company should be fully insured and bonded to protect both the client and the cleaning team. Insurance provides peace of mind and demonstrates professionalism and accountability.
7. What Areas Need the Most Attention During Cleaning?
The highest priority areas are typically high-touch surfaces and high-traffic zones, including:
- Door handles
- Light switches
- Reception desks
- Shared workstations
- Washrooms
- Kitchens and breakrooms
- Elevators and stair railings
Regular cleaning and disinfecting of these areas helps reduce the spread of germs and maintain a healthier workplace.
8. Do You Offer Green Cleaning Solutions?
Many businesses today prefer environmentally responsible cleaning practices.
Green cleaning products can help reduce environmental impact while maintaining a clean and healthy workplace. If sustainability is important to your organization, discuss eco-friendly options with your cleaning provider.
9. What Is the Difference Between Janitorial Services and Deep Cleaning?
Janitorial services refer to routine maintenance cleaning performed on a regular schedule.
Deep cleaning involves more intensive cleaning of areas that may not be addressed during daily maintenance, including:
- Carpet extraction
- Floor stripping and waxing
- High dusting
- Detailed restroom sanitization
- Interior glass cleaning
- Baseboards and hard-to-reach areas
Most facilities benefit from periodic deep cleaning in addition to routine janitorial service.
10. Why Hire a Professional Commercial Cleaning Company?
Professional cleaning companies provide:
- Consistent cleaning schedules
- Trained cleaning personnel
- Commercial-grade equipment and products
- Improved workplace appearance
- Healthier environments for staff and customers
- More time for business owners to focus on operations
A clean facility not only enhances your professional image but can also improve employee satisfaction and productivity.
