Industries we serve

Every industry cleans differently. We clean accordingly.

A medical clinic operates under different chemistry, documentation, and compliance requirements than a tech studio. We build each program around your industry -- not a one-size template.

Industry profile

Class A office towers

BOMA-aligned service for multi-tenant high-rises.

Multi-tenant buildings operate under strict BOMA standards, security protocols, and tenant-relations pressure. Our crews check in through security, use freight-only elevators, and follow a building-specific scope for each tenant suite.

Performance metrics

Average tenant satisfaction score: 4.7 / 5
Complaint escalation rate: under 0.3% of service nights
BOMA inspection pass rate: 100% in 6 consecutive years

Industry-specific protocols

  • Security badge check-in and out with log submission to building management
  • Freight elevator scheduling coordinated with property manager
  • Per-suite scopes with tenant-customizable add-on options
  • BOMA Experience Exchange Report (EER) documentation support
  • Green building reporting for LEED O+M credit tracking
  • Monthly quality scorecard shared with both tenant and property manager

Industry profile

Medical and dental clinics

OSHA-trained crews. Color-coded systems. Zero shortcuts.

Infection control in a medical environment is not about appearances. We use hospital-grade chemistry, color-coded microfiber that never crosses zones, and crews trained on OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards.

Performance metrics

Healthcare accounts renewed: 100% year over year
Infection-linked complaint rate: 0 in 7 years of healthcare service
Staff turnover on healthcare accounts: under 8% per year

Industry-specific protocols

  • OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 bloodborne pathogen training for all healthcare crew members
  • Color-coded microfiber and mop system: red for restrooms, blue for patient areas, yellow for labs
  • EPA List N hospital-grade disinfectants on all clinical surfaces
  • Sharps and biohazard awareness training (disposal handled by licensed hauler)
  • HIPAA-aware scoping: cleaners do not interact with patient records or charts
  • Documentation of disinfectant lot numbers and dwell times on request

Industry profile

Industrial and warehouse

Safe scheduling around your operations. Not the other way around.

Industrial facilities operate around the clock, and cleaning can't stop production. We schedule forklift-safe sweeper passes, dock and break-room programs, and mezzanine high-dusting during planned downtime.

Performance metrics

Zero OSHA incidents on industrial accounts since 2018
Average industrial contract length: 4.1 years
Emergency spill response: average 38-minute deployment

Industry-specific protocols

  • Forklift-safe scheduling: crews hold position during active lift operations
  • Industrial sweeper passes for concrete aisles and dock areas
  • High-dusting of racking, mezzanines, and overhead structures on lifts
  • Break-room, locker-room, and office cleaning on separate schedules from production floor
  • Spill kit staging and minor spill response (non-hazmat)
  • OSHA forklift-safe zone marking during cleaning operations

Industry profile

Schools and universities

Cleaning-for-health methods on student-occupied campuses.

Student health starts with the environment. We use ISSA Cleaning for Health protocols and Green Seal GS-37 chemistry on all academic accounts, with scheduling designed around class periods, events, and break periods.

Performance metrics

Student absenteeism reduction reported by 3 district clients after first year
ISSA CIMS-GB certification maintained across all school accounts
Average school account tenure: 5.8 years

Industry-specific protocols

  • ISSA Cleaning for Health framework applied to all academic accounts
  • Green Seal GS-37 chemistry in all occupied areas
  • HEPA-filtered vacuums on all carpeted surfaces to reduce allergen load
  • Scheduling coordinated with registrar calendar: finals, move-in, move-out, breaks
  • Gym and locker-room antimicrobial program for high-contact surfaces
  • Monthly reporting shared with facilities director and district administration

Industry profile

Banks and financial offices

Background-checked, bonded, and security-vetted.

Financial institutions require the highest level of background screening, bonding, and key-control discipline. Every cleaner on a banking account is vetted against financial-crime databases and operates under a unique alarm code.

Performance metrics

Zero key-control incidents across 14 banking clients
Employee dishonesty claims: none in 23 years
Average financial-account inspection score: 97.4 / 100

Industry-specific protocols

  • Enhanced background check including financial-crime and fraud database screening
  • Unique alarm codes issued per employee, audited monthly
  • Medeco master key-control with daily log submitted to facilities
  • Vault and teller-area cleaning under two-person rule when required
  • No personal electronic devices in restricted areas
  • Annual re-screening of all financial-account crew members

Industry profile

Tech and creative studios

Quiet, low-fragrance, and invisible during office hours.

Open-plan tech offices and creative agencies need quiet day porters, fragrance-free chemistry, and teams who understand that server rooms, demo areas, and client meeting spaces each have different requirements.

Performance metrics

Tech client satisfaction score: 4.8 / 5
Fragrance complaint rate: zero across all tech accounts
Average tech account contract: 3.4 years

Industry-specific protocols

  • Fragrance-free, low-VOC chemistry across all surfaces
  • Server room and data center cleaning with anti-static protocol
  • Day porter discretion training: quiet movement, no disruption during video calls
  • Conference room reset with AV cable management
  • Kitchen and pantry reset three times daily in high-traffic studios
  • Green cleaning documentation for ESG reporting

The people behind the protocols

Industry protocols only work when the crew follows them. Ours does.

Every industry-specific protocol starts with crew training. Healthcare crews complete OSHA bloodborne pathogen certification. Industrial crews complete forklift-safe zone training. Financial crews receive enhanced background screening. Nobody walks into a specialized account without the training specific to that environment.

  • 40-hour onboarding before first shift on any account
  • Industry-specific certification layered on top
  • Same crew assigned long-term for consistency
  • Supervisor on-site for first three nights on new accounts
