Difference Between Janitorial Services and Commercial Cleaning

If you own or manage a business, keeping your facilities in tip-top shape is one of your primary responsibilities. In particular, it’s extremely important that everything is nice and clean. A clean workplace is necessary for a happy (and healthy) workforce, as well as the impression your business is going to make on visitors, clients, and customers. Cleaning and maintaining your facilities is going to be difficult to do entirely on your own, however, that’s why it’s wise to rely on professional cleaning services.

If you’re going to hire professional cleaners, it’s helpful the know what it is you’re hiring them to do – especially the difference between janitorial services and commercial cleaning.

What Is the Difference?

The easiest way to think about the difference between janitorial and commercial cleaning is to consider the work of janitors. Janitors provide daily cleaning services such as regular vacuuming, emptying of trash, cleaning countertops and bathrooms etc. Commercial cleaning services, on the other hand, are bigger jobs that are only necessary a few times a year.

Janitorial Services

Your business requires regular janitorial services to keep it running. Every day you, your employees, and any visitors are going to need some cleaning up after in order for the office to look good and run efficiently. Depending on the size of your facilities – and the kind of work you do – you may require daily weekly or bi-weekly janitorial services.

Some of a janitor’s responsibilities include:

  • Cleaning the restroom
  • Cleaning break rooms and kitchens
  • Sweeping/mopping floors
  • Vacuuming carpets
  • Emptying trash

Commercial Cleaning Services

Commercial cleaning usually involves bigger jobs that don’t need to be done on a daily or weekly basis. Sometimes a business will hire a professional company because they need one thorough deep clean, while other businesses will schedule a few visits per year. Every cleaning company is different, so you’ll want to know what kinds of services they provide before hiring one.

Commercial cleaning services typically include:

  • Carpet cleaning
  • Furniture and upholstery cleaning
  • Power washing
  • Tile cleaning, including grout
  • Window washing
  • Thorough cleaning of all hard surfaces
