However, they are not the limit of the things that need to be done to properly maintain a commercial property.
Building Services Inc takes a more comprehensive approach to help you maintain a clean and overall healthy interior office space. This includes detailed cleaning services designed to eliminate all signs of dust, dirt, and other unwanted debris. Our professionally trained sanitation technicians ensure that all aspects of your property are consistently cleaned to the highest standards.
What Are The Benefits Of Professional Office Cleaning?
Employees tend to be more productive and take greater pride in a clean working environment. Cleanly, sanitized workspaces also tend to lead to fewer sick days during the year.
Clients and guests also tend to be more impressed when visiting a clean and well-maintained site. A pristine commercial property also tends to attract more high-end tenants.
General Cleaning Services
While things like dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping are certainly important for maintaining a clean building, there are many other facets that go into a well-maintained interior space. At Building Services Inc. we offer a broad menu of general cleaning services which will keep your building looking fresh and clean during the day. Then at night, we perform a more comprehensive cleaning to make sure that everything is ready for the next day.
A day porter or matron is essentially a sanitation technician who is on duty at your commercial property during normal business hours. They are essentially responsible for making ensuring that your building looks clean and presentable, during daytime operating hours. In the case of a larger commercial property, you might need more than one day porter/matron.
They discretely handle cleaning and maintenance of unexpected incidents such as cleaning up a spill on a slippery floor, picking up broken glass, or emptying an overly full refuse container.
Whenever necessary we customize your day porter-matron services to meet the specific needs of your building or site.
Trash Removal
Consistent trash removal plays a very important role in maintaining any commercial property. It is especially critical in retail spaces or anywhere that food is being prepared, served, and consumed.
When trash bins and wastebaskets aren’t emptied in a timely and consistent manner, it can look unsightly to employees, clients, and guests. A trash bin with food items in it can even start to give off foul odors. At the same time, excess waste, including discarded food, can start to attract pests like flies, cockroaches, and rodents.
At Building Services Inc. we make sure that any necessary trash bins and wastebaskets are emptied and then reloaded with a fresh garbage bag.
Nightly Cleaning
Offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties need a healthy environment for occupants, guests and employees to interact. Since these are often very busy places during the day, most prefer to schedule routine cleaning at night.
At Building Services Inc. our sanitation technicians use a methodical approach to ensure that your property is thoroughly cleaned every night, from top to bottom. This includes, but it not limited to the following:
Recycling
Individuals and businesses have become increasingly aware of the value of recycling. Providing clearly labeled recycling bins in high traffic areas and foodservice locations encourage everyone to actively recycle.
Building Services Inc. embraces the modern-day recycling philosophy. Our technicians check recycling containers as part of our nightly trash removal service, making sure to sort each one into the appropriate bin at your sites primary refuse area.
Kitchens, Break-rooms & Lounges
Thorough cleaning is essential anywhere that food is being prepared, served, or consumed. There are also many regulatory codes that apply to commercial or retail kitchens.
This means our technicians take a meticulous approach to cleaning any kitchen, breakroom, cafeteria or lounge. Making sure that all food services are wiped down and disinfected, walls are free of spatter marks, and emptying all waste bins.
Wall Washing
Marks and smudges on walls can occur anywhere. They are especially likely to happen if your property is frequently visited by children and pets. Yet just about any commercial property will eventually develop dust and cobwebs clinging to the walls. Left unchecked dust buildup can be a significant issue in areas such as behind electronic devices.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that food service areas are exceedingly prone to spatter marks and other material buildups. If you are serving food to the general public or larger groups, unclean walls could lead to a food code violation.
Whenever needed Building Services Inc. can clean the walls in critical spaces such as:
- Washroom walls
- Kitchen and cafeteria walls
- Behind wall-mounted TVs and other electronic devices
- High-traffic areas
It’s also worth noting that the type and finish of the paint on walls can also be a factor in how quickly the buildup or attract dust. In general, flat, and matte finish paint tends to attract and show more dirt, dust, and imperfections. They can also be more prone to damage if they are washed improperly.
Satin paint has a more subtle sheen which makes it easier to wash than flat and matte finishes. Eggshell paint has a slightly more glossy sheen, which also makes it relatively easy to wash. Our technicians are well-versed in these nuances and have the equipment, materials, and professional training to clean your walls and restore their like-new appearance.

Transform Old, Dingy Floors Into Like-New Again!
Carpet is very popular in many offices, retail spaces, and commercial properties. It brings a unique warmth and appearance, while also lending some color to the space. Because it gets walked on, carpets need to be cleaned regularly. Even carpet in a low-traffic area can still start to accumulate dust.
When a carpet goes uncleaned for a long period of time, it can start to change color and potentially even take on an unpleasant odor. Seldom cleaned carpets can also start to hold onto allergens and might need early replacement.
Building Services Inc. has a wide range of carpet cleaning equipment. We also have professionally trained technicians who can handle all your carpet cleaning needs.
Vacuuming
Our professional vacuum cleaning systems have the suction to pick up dust and other types of carpet debris, even on deep pile carpets. Our technicians methodically clean the carpet making sure to pay extra attention to nooks and crannies, while also thoroughly cleaning all high traffic areas.
Spot Cleaning
Stains are relatively common with any type of carpet. Some can be quite stubborn. Using the wrong type of stain remover can sometimes lock a stain in. Fortunately, our floor cleaning technicians have years of experience removing even the most challenging of spot stains from even the highest value carpeting. The professional strength of our stain removers simply cannot be matched by anything you find on retail store shelves.
Bonnet Cleaning
Bonnet carpet cleaning is a special process that essentially uses hard floor spray buffing to rejuvenate a carpet’s appearance. This typically involves a durable type of cotton rag, rayon and/or a polypropylene pad. A rotary carpet shampoo machine pad is then soaked in a carpet cleaning solution.
Our technicians work the machine over the carpet. The gentle agitation then dislodges and dirt and stuck-on debris which then adheres to the special cleaning pad. Bonnet cleaning can be used for spot cleaning or large area stain removal. However, it can wear out a carpet if it is used too much. Our technicians can help you understand if bonnet cleaning is required or if there is another suitable method for addressing a discolored area of carpet.
Extraction Carpet Cleaning
Extraction carpet cleaning, which is sometimes thought of as “Carpet Steaming” is a process where pressurized hot water is used to propel a mixture of cleaning agents deep into a carpet. The goal is to loosen the grime, debris, and dirt, debris that has become trapped deep in the pile of the carpet. A high-powered vacuum is then used to simultaneously remove all the loosened material.
Furniture & Fixtures
Commercial properties and retail spaces typically have offices, lounges, waiting rooms, and other areas with furniture and fixtures. From time to time these areas need to be cleaned, dusted and professionally maintained. At Building Services Inc. We typically include these areas in our service programs to make sure that your furniture and fixtures look their very best.
High Dusting
Bookcases, cabinets, exposed ductwork, and other high places might go unseen by the casual observer. Yet they are just as prone to collecting dust and other airborne particles as any other flat surface. If these areas are not cleaned on a regular basis the dust and particles can start to compact into a very hard to clean grime.
At Building Services Inc. our professional technicians use special high dusting vacuum equipment to extract dust from these often hard to reach places.
Glass Partitions
Glass partitions are commonly found in offices, meeting rooms, and even eating establishments. Some bathrooms will also use frosted glass partitions. Fingerprints and dust on these glass features can be unsightly.
The meticulous approach of our technicians includes wiping down and cleaning glass partitions throughout your commercial property.
Interior Glass Cleaning
Interior windows occasionally need to be cleaned. This will remove any lingering dust as well as eliminate any fingerprints.
Glass also has a very sleek and often elegant appearance. This makes it popular in many forms of corporate furniture and office features. Finger spots and even dust buildup can alter the appearance of glass, robbing it of its aesthetic appeal.
Our cleaning service includes interior glass cleaning to maintain the appearance of glassworks and light fixtures.
Venetian Blind Cleaning, Repair & Replacement
Venetian blinds are very popular as window treatments, as well as office privacy blinds. However, they do create a high number of horizontal surfaces, which can collect dust and other airborne particles.
Most Venetian blinds use some form of string mechanism to move them up and down. With repeated use, these components can tangle or potentially break. At the same time, the blinds themselves are typically made from thin plastic, vinyl, or wood, which can be fragile.
When possible, our technicians might be able to repair a compromised Venetian blind, or simply help install a matching replacement.
Furniture Polishing
Our furniture polishing services use professional techniques and materials to restore the original appearance of your wooden or metal furniture. Building Services Inc. has years of experience and training helping us to match the right type of polish to a piece of furniture.
When it comes to wood furniture and fixtures, wax buildup or basic wear and tear can cause the surface to lose its natural finish. This can also dull the appearance of the wood grain. If necessary, we can carefully strip away any surface residue. Then we can polish or lightly apply wood oil to restore the natural appearance of the wood.
In the case of metal furniture or metal fixtures that have lost their gleam, we typically start with a meticulous cleaning. This will remove fingerprints, dust, grime, and any other unwanted residue. We then use a neutral pH professional polish to restore the metal’s natural gleam
Fabric Partition Walls
Fabric partition walls are most commonly found in office cubicles. However, you can also find them in some retail spaces, or reception areas. Just like fabric on furniture or carpet on the floor, the fabric walls can start to collect dust and other unappealing materials. Individuals who are allowed to eat or snack at their desk are also increasingly likely to stain a partition wall.
Cleaning a cubical wall typically start with lightly vacuuming to remove any loose dirt or dust that might be clinging to the fabric fibers. This can also help reduce airborne allergens in the area.
If there are any stains on the fabric, our technicians will use a professional strength spot cleaner to remove them. The overarching goal is to remove the stain while also restoring the original color of the fabric.
Fabric Cleaning
Most pieces of furniture like chairs, couches, and padded benches have either fabric or upholstery. Dust and other debris can gradually settle onto these surfaces altering their color over time. In some cases, the fabric can even absorb allergens which could affect the respiratory health of visitors.
Our technicians use professional techniques and equipment to clean away dust and other debris from fabric surfaces. When necessary we can also use our proprietary cleaning solutions to remove any spot stains. Deep steam cleaning might be needed to clean a badly affected piece of fabric.
Interior Landscape
Many commercial properties have natural or artificial plants in their common spaces. This helps add an organic, natural feel that most people find pleasing. Indoor plants are more prone to issues with dust and damage than outdoor plants. This is especially true for so-called “Silk Flowers” vinyl and other plants.
Plant Care Services
Vinyl plants need occasional dusting and cleaning to keep them looking natural and real. From time to time they might also benefit from a special spray to brighten their color and give them a sheen.
Living indoor plants need more care than their artificial cousins. This can include things like basic watering, and occasionally applying nutrient fertilizer sticks. Some indoor plants will benefit from an occasional pruning of dead vines and branches. In the case of flowering plants, plucking away deadheads will stimulate new blooms.
