Recurring route
Janitorial Services
A written cleaning schedule for offices, restaurants, retail and municipal buildings across the Twin Cities, run the same way every visit.
Chapter 01
What a route actually covers on a weeknight
A janitorial visit runs in an order, not a checklist read in random sequence. Restrooms come first, because that is where a building fails fastest if it is skipped: toilets, urinals, sinks, mirrors, dispensers restocked, floors mopped. Trash and recycling gets pulled from every can and replaced with a fresh liner, not topped off. High-touch surfaces, door handles, light switches, handrails, elevator buttons, get wiped down before general surface cleaning and dusting, because those are the points people actually touch between visits.
Floor care closes out the route, vacuuming carpet and mopping hard surfaces last so nothing gets walked back over while it is still wet. That order is not arbitrary. A crew that does floors first and restrooms last is a crew that has not thought about what actually gets dirty again in the time between.

Where a janitorial contract usually goes wrong
The most common failure is not a missed visit. It is a scope written once at the start of a contract and never looked at again, while the building itself changes around it: a new suite opens, a break room gets added, foot traffic shifts to a different entrance. The written scope stays the same and starts to miss the parts of the building that actually need attention.
The second failure is a crew that cleans what is visible and skips what is not. Vents, door thresholds, the run of carpet under a row of desks, the base of a trash can that never gets moved. None of that shows up on a walkthrough the week the contract is signed. It shows up six months later as a building that looks tired despite being cleaned every night.
Chapter 03
Working around your business, not through it
Crews are on site from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. We do not work overnight, and we say so plainly rather than promising a night shift we would not staff. That window still covers before opening and after closing for most offices, restaurants and retail spaces, and it means a route can be scheduled around when a building is actually empty rather than around a fixed overnight slot.
Contract terms are flexible rather than fixed to a standard package. A property that needs five nights a week gets five nights. One that only needs a Tuesday and a Friday gets that instead, and the work itself is run to be efficient, in and out without disrupting whatever is still happening in the building.
Who is actually in your building
Every crew is licensed and insured, and technicians hold IICRC certification, the same standard used across our floor care, carpet and water damage work. That matters on a route because the same crew moving through restrooms and break rooms overnight is trusted with keys, access codes and an empty building.
Crews work in English and Spanish, which matters on multi person routes and in buildings where staff or residents are more comfortable in Spanish. Since 2001 that has meant the same expectation on every route: the scope gets done, in the same order, on the schedule the building actually needs.
