This checklist gives North Vancouver businesses a simple way to understand what should be cleaned daily, weekly, and monthly — and when it may be time to hire a professional janitorial cleaning company.

What Should Be Included in Janitorial Cleaning?

Janitorial cleaning usually includes recurring cleaning tasks that help maintain a building on a daily, weekly, or scheduled basis. These services often include washroom cleaning, garbage removal, floor cleaning, dusting, disinfecting high-touch surfaces, entrance cleaning, staff-room cleaning, common-area cleaning, and supply restocking.

The exact janitorial program depends on the type of business, size of the facility, number of employees, customer traffic, washroom usage, operating hours, and building layout.
