Commercial Janitorial
Recurring nightly, weekly, or scheduled janitorial programs built around your facility's traffic, materials, and compliance needs. One assigned supervisor, one quality checklist, no surprises.
OVERVIEW
Commercial janitorial is the program most facility managers think they understand — until they've been through three vendors in two years. The work itself isn't complicated. The discipline is.
A real janitorial program isn't a price-per-square-foot quote and a clipboard. It's a written scope tied to your building's actual traffic, materials, and compliance posture, executed by the same crew under the same supervisor for the life of the contract. That's where most national vendors fail. They sign you on a low number, run a rotating cast through your building, and quietly raise rates at renewal.
RMS runs nightly, three-night, and five-night programs across medical, professional office, retail, restaurant, and property-management portfolios on the Florida Gulf Coast. We don't underbid to win the account and then cut quality to recover the margin. We scope what the building needs, quote it fixed, and execute it with the same crew.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Scoped to your building, not a template.
Every account is walked, measured, and scoped before pricing. The list below is the standard inclusions — the actual scope is built to your facility's materials, traffic, and compliance posture.
- Trash, recycling, and high-touch surface care
- Restrooms and breakroom rotation
- Hard floor and carpet maintenance
- Glass, stainless, and detail work
- Supply restocking
- Logged visit reports
MATERIALS & APPROACH
The chemistry, the equipment, and the discipline behind a real program.
Commercial-grade chemistry is the baseline — EPA-registered disinfectants, microfiber over cotton, color-coded systems for cross-contamination control, HEPA-filter vacuums on carpeted spaces, and high-speed burnishers for hard floors. Specific protocols (fragrance-free, green-seal-certified, hospital-grade) get specified in your written scope at no upcharge.
Equipment is owned, maintained, and replaced on a schedule. We don't show up with a cart held together by duct tape, and we don't recycle dirty extraction water across accounts. Every building gets fresh chemistry and clean tools.
Disinfectants
EPA-registered, List N protocols available for medical and high-occupancy accounts.
Tools
Microfiber on rotation, color-coded by zone, replaced on schedule — not at end of life.
Floor care
HEPA-filter commercial vacuums, high-speed (1500+ RPM) burnishers, true wet-vac extraction.
Crew
W-2 employees, badged, background-checked, insured. No gig contractors.
HOW IT GOES
From walkthrough to first clean — what to expect.
Walkthrough
We come on site, take measurements, photograph areas of concern, and ask the questions that shape a real scope — access, materials, traffic, compliance posture.
Written scope
Inside 48 hours you get a written scope and a fixed monthly quote. No hourly billing, no auto-rate creep, no per-incident surprises.
Crew assigned
Your account is paired with a dedicated site supervisor and a crew sized to your building. Same people, same standards, for the life of the contract.
First clean + handoff
We run the first clean alongside your point of contact, walk the building together, sign off on the checklist, and you're on schedule from there.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
Scope honesty, up front.
A vendor that says yes to everything is the vendor that quietly fails at the things they shouldn't have agreed to. Here's what falls outside this scope — and how we handle it.
Window washing above the second story
Standard janitorial covers interior glass and ground-floor windows. Anything above two stories needs a glazier with rope-access — we coordinate the sub on request and oversee the visit.
Specialty floor materials
Terrazzo restoration, hardwood refinishing, and natural-stone polishing get subbed to specialists with the right equipment. We oversee scheduling and quality, you get one invoice.
Construction debris hauling
Bulk debris from build-outs is a separate scope under post-construction cleanup. Standard janitorial includes daily trash and recycling, not container-grade hauling.
Pest control or HVAC service
Different licenses, different vendors. We'll flag issues during visits — we won't pretend to be your exterminator.
“Nightly janitorial across three buildings for the past three years. Consistent quality, EPA-approved chemicals, and they actually communicate. The bar is low in this industry — RMS sets a different one.”

QUESTIONS WE GET
About commercial janitorial.

Call (315) 263-9275What's a typical janitorial cadence?
Most accounts run nightly, three nights a week, or five nights a week depending on traffic and budget. We scope cadence during the walkthrough — high-traffic medical and retail usually run nightly, professional offices typically run three to five nights, and lower-occupancy buildings can run two or three.
Are supplies and consumables included?
Standard supplies (chemistry, paper goods, restroom consumables) are included in the monthly fixed quote on most accounts. We track inventory and restock on every visit. Specialty consumables — premium soaps, branded products — are billed at cost.
How do you handle access and security?
Crews are W-2 employees, badged, and background-checked. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Access protocols (key fobs, alarm codes, after-hours entry) are documented per building and only shared with assigned crew members.
What happens if there's a quality issue?
Your assigned site supervisor is your direct point of contact — call them, text them, send a photo. Issues are addressed on the next visit at the latest, often same-night. We log every visit with a quality checklist that you and the supervisor sign off on.
