What commercial and office cleaning covers
This category is built around recurring cleaning contracts for businesses rather than one-off home cleans. In Irmo that typically means offices along Lake Murray Boulevard and St. Andrews Road, medical and dental suites, retail storefronts, small warehouses, and shared spaces in office parks. Standard scopes include trash pull, restroom sanitizing, breakroom cleaning, floor care (vacuuming, mopping, and periodic stripping/waxing for VCT tile), dusting of desks and fixtures, glass and entryway cleaning, and interior window spot-cleaning. Many of the 11 providers listed here also offer add-on services like carpet extraction, disinfecting/fogging, post-construction cleanup, and after-hours or weekend service so crews aren't working around staff during business hours.
What to check before you sign a contract
Ask about proof of liability insurance and bonding, since you're giving a crew keys or access codes to your building after hours. Get clarity on staffing: is it the same one or two people each visit, or a rotating crew? Consistency matters more for office cleaning than almost any other factor, because a new person every week means retraining them on your layout and expectations. Find out how supplies and equipment are handled (do they bring their own HEPA vacuums and EPA-registered disinfectants, or expect you to stock the closet), how often walkthroughs or quality checks happen, and what the process is for reporting a missed spot or a broken item. A written scope of work with a checklist beats a vague verbal promise every time.
