How often should janitorial service be scheduled?

Oneliance sets frequency based on facility type, occupancy, and risk areas (restrooms, breakrooms, entryways). Most offices require daily cleaning of restrooms, trash, and touchpoints because these areas quickly affect comfort and hygiene. Lower-traffic spaces, such as small professional suites or lightly used storage areas, may benefit from weekly service, paired with quick in-house wipe-downs as needed. A practical approach is to start with a baseline schedule, then adjust it after 2 to 4 weeks based on real-time observations (trash volume, floor soil, restroom use, and complaints).

What is included in a standard janitorial service contract?

A standard contract typically covers the essentials required to keep a building functional and presentable. That often includes general cleaning (dusting, wiping surfaces, spot cleaning), restroom sanitation (toilets, sinks, mirrors, dispensers), trash removal, and basic floor care (vacuuming, mopping, and simple spot treatment). Oneliance also defines service details that are critical to day-to-day operations, such as cleaning days, task frequencies, supply responsibilities, and quality checks. Add-on services are commonly available for deeper needs, such as interior glass, carpet extraction, floor stripping and waxing, or detailed high-dust work.

Are green cleaning products as effective as traditional ones?

Often, yes. Many green cleaning products meet the same performance standards as conventional chemicals for routine soil, oils, and common restroom grime. The difference is usually in ingredient profile, odor, and residue risk, not basic cleaning results when the right product and dwell time are used. For a fair comparison, focus on the task: disinfecting, degreasing, or general cleaning. Each needs the correct product type and contact time. Green programs can also support occupant health by reducing exposure to harsh fumes and sensitizers, a real benefit in tight office spaces.

Can janitorial service be customized for special events?

Yes, and it’s common. Event support typically includes pre-event, during-event, and post-event services. Pre-event work targets restrooms, floors, glass, and high-visibility areas. During the event, crews focus on trash control, restroom touch-ups, spill response, and entrance cleaning. Post-event cleaning often includes floor recovery, waste removal, and resetting the space for normal business. If you need event coverage, share attendance estimates, food and beverage plans, room layout, and timing so that staffing and supplies align with the actual workload.

How do I decide between daily service and a few visits per week?

Experienced janitorial services companies, such as Oneliance, can help you create a scope of work that includes frequency.  If restrooms run out of soap or paper, trash overflows, floors show tracked-in soil by midday, or complaints increase, daily service is usually justified. If your space remains stable between visits and usage is predictable, 2 to 3 visits per week may be sufficient, with targeted daily tasks in key areas. Also consider business goals: a client-facing office may prioritize appearance more than a back-office space.
