Commercial Cleaning
in Portland, Oregon

Most Portland offices benefit from daily or 3x weekly cleaning for high-traffic areas. The frequency depends on foot traffic, industry requirements, and employee count. Medical offices require daily terminal cleaning, while smaller offices may only need weekly deep cleans. We assess your specific needs during a free walkthrough.

Janitorial services focus on daily maintenance: trash removal, restroom restocking, and routine upkeep. Commercial cleaning is broader, including specialized services like floor stripping, carpet extraction, window cleaning, and post-construction cleanup. Most businesses need both—ongoing janitorial plus periodic commercial deep cleaning.

Residential cleaning focuses on homes with personal belongings and living spaces. Commercial cleaning is designed for businesses and requires specialized knowledge: industry-specific protocols (like medical facility standards), commercial-grade equipment, after-hours scheduling, liability insurance, and teams trained for high-traffic areas. Commercial cleaners must also meet OSHA standards and handle specialized surfaces found in offices, retail, and industrial facilities.

A 3,000 square foot office typically costs $300-$750 per cleaning in Portland, depending on frequency and scope. For daily cleaning, expect $300-$450 per visit. Weekly cleaning runs $450-$750 due to heavier buildup. Factors affecting price include number of restrooms, carpet vs. hard floors, employee count, and special requirements like medical-grade disinfection.

The 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle) in cleaning means 80% of dirt and germs come from 20% of surfaces—high-touch areas like door handles, light switches, keyboards, phones, and restroom fixtures. In commercial settings, we focus intensive cleaning on these high-traffic zones: entryways, restrooms, break rooms, and shared workspaces. This maximizes health and cleanliness while optimizing time and cost efficiency.

For commercial spaces, 2 hours per week works for small offices under 1,000 sq ft with light use. Most businesses need more: a 2,000-3,000 sq ft office typically requires 4-6 hours weekly, often split across multiple visits. High-traffic areas like medical offices, gyms, or retail need daily service. We assess your space and create a realistic cleaning schedule during your free consultation.

A professional team can clean a 1,000 square foot office in 1-2 hours for routine maintenance cleaning. This includes vacuuming, mopping, trash removal, restroom cleaning, and surface wiping. Deep cleaning takes 2-3 hours and includes carpet shampooing, baseboard cleaning, and detailed work. Time varies based on layout, clutter level, and number of restrooms. Our trained teams work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business.
