Government and municipal cleaning in Chicago

Public buildings kept ready for the public.

Government and municipal buildings serve the public and must meet high standards for cleanliness, safety, and accessibility. From city halls and courthouses to public libraries and community centers, LPJ Services delivers dependable facility services, with every visit on the record in your client portal.

What matters

What public facilities care about.

Public traffic

City halls, libraries and community centers take walk-in traffic all day. Entrances, lobbies and restrooms are on every visit.

Security and access

The crew carries LPJ identification and follows your building security procedures and key and alarm protocol.

Accessibility

Accessible routes, ramps and entrances are kept clear, and in winter the same contract can carry snow removal for walks and entries.

A record of the work

Every visit is on the record in your client portal, with its photos and invoices.

Insurance paperwork

Certificates of insurance are available on request, and safety data sheets for the products used.

The program

What we bring

Equipment, supplies and the record.

Supplies

Every cleaning chemical, tool and supply is included in the service agreement. Restroom consumables (paper, soap, liners) can be included in the program or stocked by you, whichever your purchasing prefers.

Every visit is on the record in your client portal, with its photos. Safety data sheets and product documentation for anything we use are available on request, and so are certificates of insurance.

Questions

What municipal facility owners ask.

How quickly can you start service on a new property?

For most properties, we can begin within 5-7 business days of signing an agreement. We use that time to conduct building-specific training and coordinate access credentials with your management office.

What is the difference between janitorial and commercial cleaning?

Janitorial service is daily, ongoing facility maintenance. Trash removal, restroom service, surface disinfection, general upkeep. Commercial cleaning is periodic or project-based work. Deep cleans, floor restoration, construction cleanup. Most properties need both, and we bundle them under a single agreement.

How often should VCT floors be stripped and waxed?

It depends on traffic volume. High-traffic areas like main lobbies and corridors typically need a full strip-and-wax 3-4 times per year. Lower-traffic areas may only need it 1-2 times. We recommend interim buff-and-recoat service between full strip cycles to maintain appearance.

How often should commercial windows be cleaned?

Most office and commercial properties clean windows quarterly. Retail storefronts and hospitality properties often require monthly service. Buildings in high-pollution or construction-adjacent areas may need more frequent cleaning. We recommend a frequency based on your building's exposure and tenant expectations.
