• Medical and dental cleaning

  We clean medical clinics, dental offices, childcare centres and private schools. We clean washroom fixtures, sanitize frequent contact surfaces and use low-scent cleaning products.

• Strata common areas

  We clean strata lobbies, corridors, elevators, stairwells, amenity rooms and parkades. We scope and quote it so your council can put a number in the budget.

• Floor and carpet care

  We handle carpet hot water extraction, low-moisture cleaning, hard floor scrubbing and tile refinishing on schedules suited to your surfaces.

• Post-construction cleaning

  We stage post-construction cleaning across rough, final and touch-up passes for renovated and newly built commercial spaces.

• Commercial kitchen cleaning

  We clean commercial kitchen floors, walls, equipment surfaces and food prep areas. Schedules and product lists fit directly into your kitchen sanitation plan.

How do we price your building?

We price cleaning from the hours it takes, and we get those hours by measuring your building. We measure your floor space by surface type and assign frequencies to build your labour hours.

Floor area by surface type — carpet, hard floors and vinyl require different cleaning times

Frequency — nightly, three times a week, weekly, monthly

Scope of work — what is done every visit, and what is periodic

Washroom fixture count — estimated by fixture count rather than square footage

Occupancy and traffic — a shared entrance sees more foot traffic than an interior corridor

Access window — after hours, weekends, or during business hours

ISSA benchmarks for bidding and estimating rate restroom cleaning at 3 minutes per fixture and carpet vacuuming near 10,000 square feet an hour, not as formal time-motion studies of your building.

How do we build your quote?

1. Walkthrough — We measure the areas by floor type, count the washroom fixtures, note how access and the alarm work, and talk through the parts of your building you actually use.
2. Written scope and quote — We detail tasks by room and frequency so your proposal matches your building.
3. Start date and handover — You pass keys and access codes to us under a written log before our crew begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a walkthrough?

We walk the space, measure it by floor type, count the fixtures in each washroom, and check how access, alarm and lockup work. We don't price a building before we've walked it.

How is after-hours access handled?

We arrange access details before our first visit because we clean buildings outside business hours. We log every key, fob and alarm code against an assigned crew member's name.

What WorkSafeBC coverage and liability insurance do you carry?

We carry commercial general liability, and hold a WorkSafeBC account in good standing. Under the Workers Compensation Act you can be liable for a contractor's unpaid premiums, but WorkSafeBC provides a free clearance letter confirming an account is in good standing.

How are cleaning staff screened?

We run criminal record checks, and keep a written record of who has access to which building. Under B.C.'s Child Care Licensing Regulation, criminal record checks are required for anyone over the age of 12 present while children are on site.

Is a cleaning contract subject to PST in British Columbia?

No. Janitorial services are listed as exempt in the Province's Small Business Guide to PST. While PST extends to strata management and other professional services from 1 October 2026, janitorial services remain exempt from PST, with only five per cent GST applying.

What is involved in switching from an existing cleaner?

We coordinate contract transitions with 30 days' notice, complete supply audits and return all keys promptly. We work to whatever notice period your current agreement sets, and we plan the overlap around it.
