FAQ
Janitorial Services questions
What's the difference between cleaning and janitorial services?
Cleaning is the broad term for any cleaning work, including one-time and project jobs. Janitorial is the recurring contract that maintains a building on a fixed schedule: nightly, daily, or weekly trash removal, restroom servicing and restocking, floor care, and common-area upkeep. If you want the same scope handled on a calendar so you stop thinking about it, that's a janitorial program.
What is included in a janitorial service in Rhode Island?
A standard janitorial program covers trash and recycling removal, restroom cleaning and restocking, vacuuming and mopping, common-area and lobby cleaning, breakroom and kitchen upkeep, and surface disinfection. Floor strip and wax, window cleaning, and day porter coverage are quoted separately. Every scope is customized to the building on the walkthrough.
How often should we schedule janitorial cleaning?
It depends on foot traffic and the type of facility. Busy offices, schools, and medical buildings usually run nightly or daily so restrooms and trash never back up. Lower-traffic suites often run weekly or biweekly. We help you set the right frequency on the walkthrough and adjust it as your needs change.
Do you offer recurring janitorial contracts?
Yes. Janitorial service is recurring contract work by design. We run nightly, daily, weekly, and biweekly schedules with a written scope of work and a named lead cleaner on the account, so the same crew handles your building every visit. We schedule around your hours so your team walks in to a clean space.
