Keeping your facility clean is vital to all businesses, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach. You’ve probably heard the terms “janitorial services” and “deep cleaning” thrown before, and you may wonder what the differences are. Let’s take a look at the differences.
What is Janitorial Cleaning?
Janitorial services are your routine cleaning crew. Think of them as the daily or weekly maintenance team that keeps your business looking fresh and functional. They handle the tasks you need on the regular, such as taking out the trash, wiping down surfaces, mopping floors, restocking restrooms, and making sure the break room doesn’t have strange aromas.
This type of cleaning is consistent and helps maintain a healthy and welcoming environment day in and day out. Janitorial services are essential for places like offices, retail stores, schools, and medical clinics, where cleanliness can’t afford to take a day off.
What is Deep Cleaning?
Now, deep cleaning is a different type of service. This is your top-to-bottom, corner-to-corner, cleaning. Deep cleaning dives into areas that don’t get typically get TLC, like vents, baseboards, behind furniture, high-touch areas, and upholstery.
It’s typically scheduled less frequently (think monthly, quarterly, or before a big inspection or reopening), but it’s incredibly important. Deep cleaning is what gets your space from “clean enough” to feeling like it shines.
As such, janitorial services and deep cleaning services are both important, but serve different purposes. Ideally, a business should invest in both. Regular janitorial services keep your workspace clean, sanitary and functional, while periodic deep cleanings ensure that dirt, grime, and germs don’t settle in for the long haul.
If you’re not sure what your space needs, consider the last time someone cleaned behind the vending machine. If you can’t remember, it might be time to call in for something more than just a quick wipe-down.
