Commercial Cleaning in Denver

What commercial cleaning covers

• Open floors swept and machine scrubbed where the surface takes it
• Restrooms, plus changing rooms and showers if the site has them
• Break room, staff kitchen and the area around the vending machines
• Entrance, glass doors and the front desk people walk up to
• Trash out of every area to the dumpster, recycling kept apart
• Handles, switches, handrails and the shared equipment people touch all day

What is usually not included

• The machines themselves. Production equipment, workshop tools and gym machines are normally cleaned by the people who run them.
• Anything that needs a lift: high racking, ductwork, ceiling lights. Work at height is quoted on its own.
• Regulated waste — chemicals, solvents, anything with a disposal rule. That leaves the building through its own contractor.

When to book commercial cleaning

Choose this when your premises do not fit the other categories. Tell the cleaner the square footage and what the space is used for, because both change the price.

How long it takes

It depends on the square footage and on how much of it is open floor, so two buildings of the same size can take very different amounts of time. The first visit usually runs long, because the route through an unfamiliar building has to be worked out on the spot.

What makes the price go up

• The floor. Sealed concrete, epoxy, vinyl and safety matting are each a different job
• Whether the place is empty or people are working right through the shift
• Showers and changing rooms, which are a much longer stop than a restroom
• Site rules: a safety orientation, a safety vest, steel-toed boots, a badge to get in

What to ask before you book

• Will you come and walk the building before you give me a price?
• Do you do a floor like mine with a machine, or with a mop?
• What do you need my people to clear out of the way before you come?

What commercial cleaning looks like in Denver

Denver sits high and dry. The air holds little moisture, so dust stays fine and shows up again quickly on flat surfaces. Snow comes and goes through the cold months, and the sand and magnesium chloride spread on the roads rides in on boots and dries to a pale film by the door. Older neighborhoods run to brick bungalows, and hardwood floors and forced-air heat are common in them.

Entryways and floors come first here, since road grit and de-icer film dull a hardwood finish if they sit. Dusting comes around more often than it would in a wet climate, and vents get attention because the heat runs long. Windows are worth doing carefully: dry air and hard light leave every streak visible.
