How many nights per week do we need?

Under 20 occupants often works at two or three nights. Above that, or with public restrooms and food service, nightly service is the practical minimum.

Do you supply paper products and soap?

We restock from your inventory by default, and can manage purchasing as a separate line item if you'd rather not track it.

Can we start with a trial period?

Yes. Most janitorial clients begin with a 30-day period before settling into an ongoing program.

What is a day porter and do we need one?

A day porter keeps the building presentable during business hours — restroom checks, lobby, spills, breakroom, event turnaround. Buildings with heavy public traffic or shared amenity floors get the most value from it.

Janitorial Services in Palo Alto, CA

Janitorial service is a recurring facility-maintenance program — typically nightly or several nights per week — covering restrooms, breakrooms, common areas, trash removal, floor care and restocking.

Academic-year turnover drives a spike in move-in and move-out cleaning every summer, and the research-park corridor keeps steady demand for after-hours office work.

Local housing: Craftsman and Spanish-revival homes in Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park, Eichler tracts in Midtown and Greenmeadow, and a dense office corridor along Page Mill and El Camino.
