What to Expect During a Commercial Cleaning Walkthrough
What to Expect During a Commercial Cleaning Walkthrough
If you’re considering hiring a commercial cleaning service, the first step is usually a walkthrough of your facility. This isn't just a formality—it's the foundation of your cleaning plan. At Elite Cleaning, we treat every walkthrough as a chance to understand your business, your building, and your goals.
Here’s what you can expect during a professional cleaning walkthrough—and why it’s such an important part of getting the results you want.
🔍 1. We’ll Learn About Your Business and Schedule
No two businesses are the same. During the walkthrough, we’ll ask about:
Your industry (office, medical, school, etc.)
Hours of operation
Foot traffic levels
Areas of concern (odors, spills, high-touch surfaces, etc.)
Special requests or restricted access zones
💬 The more we understand about your day-to-day, the better we can design a cleaning plan that works around your needs—not against them.
🧭 2. We’ll Tour the Facility Room by Room
We'll walk through each area of your building, such as:
Entryways and lobbies
Offices or exam rooms
Restrooms
Kitchens and breakrooms
Hallways and stairwells
Utility or storage areas
This helps us identify:
Flooring types
Surface materials
Square footage
High-traffic vs. low-traffic zones
Any maintenance issues or safety concerns
📸 We may take photos (with your permission) to ensure accuracy when building your cleaning proposal.
🧽 3. We’ll Ask About Your Current Pain Points
This is your chance to tell us what’s not working.
Are there odors you can’t get rid of?
Is your current cleaner missing areas?
Are restrooms being neglected?
Do you need disinfecting for health-sensitive environments?
✅ Our goal is not just to clean—we aim to solve problems and improve your overall facility experience.
📋 4. We’ll Discuss Cleaning Frequencies and Priorities
Depending on your building and budget, we’ll recommend a cleaning schedule that could include:
Daily, weekly, or bi-weekly cleanings
Day porter services
Floor care (stripping, waxing, carpet cleaning)
Restroom sanitizing
Window or high dusting services
Seasonal deep cleans
We’ll help you prioritize high-impact tasks while staying within your comfort zone financially.
💰 5. We’ll Build a Custom Quote—Not a Template
After the walkthrough, we’ll send you a custom cleaning proposal that outlines:
Services included
Cleaning frequency
Pricing by service or square footage
Supplies and equipment included
Terms and next steps
There’s no obligation—we want you to feel confident, informed, and excited to work with us.
Why the Walkthrough Matters
A detailed walkthrough allows us to:
✅ Understand your unique space
✅ Give you a fair, accurate quote
✅ Avoid surprises or misunderstandings
✅ Build long-term trust and transparency
It’s not about pushing a cookie-cutter solution—it’s about delivering a cleaning experience that fits your business perfectly.
