What routine commercial cleaning covers

Routine cleaning is the recurring visit, from every two weeks up to several times a week. It handles the surfaces people use every day:

  • Desks, counters, and common surfaces wiped
  • Touchpoints such as door handles, switches, and railings cleaned
  • Washrooms cleaned and restocked
  • Kitchens and break rooms wiped down
  • Floors vacuumed or mopped by surface
  • Garbage and recycling taken to your disposal point

What a deep clean adds

A deep clean is a one-time or occasional visit that goes further than a routine visit can in the time it has:

  • High dusting of vents, light fixtures, ledges, and the tops of partitions
  • Baseboards, door frames, and trim detailed
  • Built-up grime removed from washroom fixtures and grout
  • Kitchen appliances cleaned inside and out
  • Interior glass and partitions cleaned edge to edge
  • Hard-to-reach areas behind and under furniture

When a deep clean makes sense

  • Before a new routine contract starts, so regular visits begin from a clean baseline.
  • After a move-in, move-out, or layout change, when furniture has moved and exposed what was behind it.
  • Before an inspection, audit, or important visit.
  • Seasonally, for spaces with heavy foot traffic, such as retail, restaurants, schools, and clinics.

When routine cleaning is enough

If the space started from a clean baseline and visits are frequent enough for the traffic it gets, routine cleaning keeps it there. The signs you've outgrown your current frequency are the same ones that signal a deep clean: dust on high surfaces, dull floors at entrances, and washrooms that don't stay fresh between visits.

How to set up a plan that holds up

  1. Start with a deep clean if the space hasn't had one recently.
  2. Choose a routine frequency based on how many people use the space and how quickly it gets dirty, not just the square footage.
  3. Book deep cleans at set points in the year rather than waiting until they're overdue.
  4. Ask for photo reports so you can see what was done without being on site.

How each is priced

Routine cleaning is priced as a fixed monthly amount based on square footage and visits per week. A deep clean is a one-time fixed price. See how our pricing works, or ask for one quote that covers both.
