Not sure which you need?

Most buildings run two or three of these together. Pick your building type and the planner writes the scope, service by service.

The scope, on the floor plan

Your building, not a generic one

A dental suite and a distribution center do not have the same rooms, so they do not get the same scope. Pick a building type and walk the zones to see which tasks belong where, and how often each one runs.

How we run an account

Management walks the floor, unannounced

The inspection is the contract. A supervisor arrives without notice, walks your building area by area against the written scope, and sends you what they found with photos. Anything below standard is corrected before the next shift.

  1. 01

    Unannounced walkthroughs

    A supervisor walks your building without warning and scores it against the written scope.

  2. 02

    A person answers

    The office line reaches a person during office hours, and supervisors carry phones on every shift.

  3. 03

    Fixed the same night

    Issues are logged when they happen and put right before the next shift, with a note to you.

  4. 04

    A written scope

    Every task by area and frequency, agreed before the first shift. You keep a copy and the crew carries one.

Industries

Buildings we know how to run

Every building type has its own pressure point: the restrooms in a school, the dock in a distribution center, the waiting room in a clinic. The scope starts there.

Where we work

Commercial cleaning across Maricopa County

Crews are routed from central Phoenix across the Valley on fixed schedules, so a facility in Goodyear gets the same crew reliability as one in the Airpark. Tap a city for everything we run there.

Work it out yourself

Three tools, free, no email required

Use them before you talk to anyone, including us. They are the same tools we use to write a scope and staff a building.

  • Crew and time calculator

    Square footage, building type and restroom fixtures in. Cleaner hours a visit, the crew that fits your cleaning window, and hours a week out.

    Open the calculator
  • Scope planner

    Pick the building type and the areas in it. The planner writes the scope by area and by frequency, in the language a request for proposal uses. Print it or share the link.

Questions

Questions facility managers ask

How many cleaners does a building my size need?

It depends on the building type and the restroom count more than the square footage. A 20,000 sq ft office usually runs two technicians for two to three hours a visit, while the same footprint of warehouse runs faster and the same footprint of clinic runs slower. The crew and time calculator on this site works it out from published production rates, and the walkthrough confirms it.

What does a commercial cleaning contract include?

A written scope of work for your building: every task grouped by area and frequency, the products and equipment used on each surface, the service windows, and who signs off. The crew carries a copy and you keep one.

Do you clean during business hours or after?

Both, depending on the building. Offices and schools are usually cleaned after hours. Warehouses and multi-tenant properties often add a day porter during opening hours for restrooms, entrances and spills.

Which parts of the Phoenix metro do you cover?

Maricopa County, from Phoenix and Scottsdale across the East Valley to Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert, and west to Glendale, Avondale, Tolleson and the Goodyear corridor.

How is a commercial clean priced?

After a walkthrough. Square footage alone does not tell you what a building needs: fixture counts, floor types, hours and access all change the work, so the price follows the scope rather than a rate card.

Do you work with general contractors on new builds?

Yes. Post-construction cleaning runs in three phases (rough, final and touch-up) against your punch list and turnover date.
