Cleanliness isn’t just about appearances—it’s about performance. Yet many facilities still rely on subjective feedback instead of measurable data to evaluate their cleaning programs.

Restroom sinks may not always get the spotlight, but they’re one of the most frequently used—and most visibly judged—parts of any facility. A spotless sink signals attention to detail, while a grimy basin, soap buildup, or water stains can instantly tarnish your brand’s image.

Without a clear cleaning schedule, important tasks can be overlooked, company standards can slip, and small messes can turn into big problems. A well-planned schedule ensures that every space in your facility—whether a lobby, restroom, office, or production floor—gets the attention it needs at the right time. It also creates accountability, so staff and service providers know exactly what’s expected and when.

If you’re managing a facility, it’s important to understand the difference between daily cleaning and disinfection and periodic deep cleaning—because both serve different, but equally important, purposes.

Hiring a janitorial service isn’t just about choosing a vendor—it’s about defining exactly what your facility needs, day in and day out. That all starts with a clear, well-composed scope of work (SOW), whether you're putting together an RFP or finalizing a contract.
