Office building cleaning in Chicago

A building tenants notice for the right reasons.

Office buildings are the face of your business. Tenants, employees, and visitors notice when common areas, lobbies, restrooms, and workspaces are not maintained to a high standard.

What matters

What office property managers care about.

Tenant complaints

Complaints are the score a property manager is judged on. A complaint sent through the client portal or to your account manager is fixed the same day, and a repeat one triggers a scope review.

Lobbies and common areas through the day

The lobby at noon gets the traffic of the whole building. A day porter keeps entrances, elevators and restrooms in order during business hours; the evening crew resets the rest.

After-hours work that tenants never see

Suites are cleaned on an evening or overnight shift, under your building security procedures, with LPJ identification and your alarm and key protocol.

Restrooms and supplies

Running out of paper is the most common janitorial complaint. Supply levels are checked every visit, and consumables can be stocked as part of the program.

Floors and glass between deep cleans

Hard floors are burnished and carpets spot-treated on a schedule, and lobby glass and windows are on their own washing schedule, so the building does not wait for a yearly deep clean to look right.

The program

How an office program runs.

Every visit

The checklist.

  • Suites: trash, recycling, dusting, vacuuming, kitchenettes
  • Common areas: lobby, elevators, corridors, stairwells
  • Restrooms cleaned, disinfected and restocked
  • Hard floors maintained, carpets spot-treated
  • Entry glass and touchpoints wiped down
What we bring

Equipment, supplies and the record.

Equipment

Commercial-grade vacuums and floor equipment, including auto-scrubbers and burnishers for hard floors.

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.

Documentation

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 office building 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.

Is a day porter the same as a janitor?

No. A janitor performs scheduled cleaning tasks, usually after hours. A day porter is a real-time facility responder stationed in your building during business hours. They handle incidents, maintain common areas, and provide visible, on-demand support throughout the day.

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.
