With 20+ years of experience in construction cleaning, plus a Spartan cleaning certification, we are your best choice for a spotless clean. Why Post-Construction Cleaning Matters Every construction or remodeling project—big or small—leaves behind more than just a completed structure. There’s a mess that includes everything from sawdust, sheetrock particles, nails, leftover materials, and smudges on every surface. These are not just unsightly—they can be dangerous or cause long-term damage if left unaddressed. A thorough post-construction cleanup ensures your space isn’t just beautiful but also safe, functional, and ready to be used. At Jani-Serv, Inc., we understand that your new space is a significant investment. That’s why we deliver detailed cleaning that brings out the true beauty of your project. Why DIY Construction Cleanup Isn’t Enough After months of hard work, planning, and money spent on building or renovating, the last thing you want is to be stuck with the mess. Many people underestimate the scope of construction debris cleanup—thinking it’s just about sweeping and mopping. In reality, post-construction sites often have: Fine drywall dust that settles on every surface and into vents Glue and adhesive residue stuck on floors or walls Paint splatters or overspray on windows, baseboards, and fixtures Sawdust or insulation scattered in corners and hard-to-reach areas Nails, staples, and scrap material hidden in carpet or flooring Attempting to handle this yourself can be time-consuming, ineffective, and potentially hazardous. That’s why calling in professional post-construction cleaners like Jani-Serv is a smart move that saves you both time and stress. What We Do During a Construction Clean Remove dust from vents, walls, and ceilings Fine dust is one of the biggest headaches after a construction project. We take extra care to eliminate airborne dust that settles on air vents, ceilings, light fixtures, shelves, and every nook and cranny.

The Hidden Benefits of Construction Cleaning Services Post-construction cleaning isn’t just about aesthetics—it impacts health, safety, and long-term value.

A professional cleaning ensures you’re not breathing in harmful debris. Increased Safety:Leftover nails, screws, and slippery dust can create hazardous conditions.

Don’t Let Summer Break Your Office Cleaning Routine

office cleaning for summer

As temperatures rise and employees begin rotating through summer vacations, it’s easy for workplace maintenance and office cleaning routines to fall through the cracks. Offices may seem quieter and less messy during the summer months, but in reality, this is one of the most critical times to prioritize cleanliness and sanitation. Just because fewer people are present doesn’t mean the need for cleaning disappears—in fact, quite the opposite. Letting cleanliness slide during the summer could lead to unpleasant odors, a rise in allergens, or even the spread of illness when team members return. If you want your business to maintain its professional image and protect your employees’ health, consistent and professional office cleaning is non-negotiable. The Problem With Not Cleaning When temperatures rise, so do germ and bacteria growth. During the summer you are likely running your HVAC unit consistently, but if the unit is dusty or the filter is not clean, you are likely blowing pollutants everywhere. People are in and out of the office and are possibly bringing in germs with them from all over, if you aren’t regularly disinfecting, your office could become a breeding ground for illness. The Summer Cleaning Challenge: Why It’s Easy to Overlook Many offices operate on a lighter schedule during the summer. Employees take vacations, hybrid teams rotate shifts, and some departments may even close temporarily. With reduced staff on-site, it may feel like cleaning doesn’t need to be as frequent. But consider this: Trash bins may not be emptied daily. Food can sit in the fridge for weeks. HVAC systems work overtime in summer heat, circulating dust and pollutants if not maintained. Fewer employees around can mean less accountability for messes. All of these issues can lead to a messy, unhealthy environment that may not be noticeable at first—but can quickly spiral. Hidden Threats Lurking in Your Office During Summer Heat and humidity are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. Combine that with inconsistent cleaning, and you’ve got a recipe for trouble. Here are some of the most common issues that arise when office cleaning is neglected during the summer: 1. Germs and Illness Spread Easily Employees returning from vacations may bring more than souvenirs back to the office. Bacteria and viruses from travel can linger on desks, door handles, and kitchen counters. Without regular disinfecting, these germs spread quickly. 2. Dust, Allergens, and Air Quality Decline Dust buildup in carpets, vents, and unused rooms contributes to poor air quality. If your HVAC system is dirty, it’s recirculating allergens and pollutants—putting staff at risk for allergies and respiratory issues. 3. Forgotten Trash and Food In a partially empty office, it’s easy for trash to sit longer than usual or for leftovers to be forgotten in the fridge. This leads to unpleasant odors, pest attraction, and an unprofessional atmosphere. 4. Less Oversight and Accountability With fewer team members present, small messes go unnoticed, and daily cleaning routines may be overlooked. This creates a compounding effect that results in a much bigger job later on. The Cost of Poor Office Cleaning Habits The impact of neglecting cleaning during summer doesn’t just affect health—it can hurt your brand, employee morale, and even productivity. An unclean workspace reflects poorly on your business, especially if clients or vendors visit unexpectedly. In fact, a study by the ISSA (International Sanitary Supply Association) found that productivity drops up to 8% in poorly maintained workplaces. Cleanliness is directly tied to employee satisfaction and focus, making professional office cleaning a valuable investment rather than an expense. The Problem With Not Cleaning Forgotten trash left in the bin Food left in the fridge for weeks Dust, allergens, and poor air quality Less accountability for cleanliness with fewer people What’s Included in Our Office Cleaning Plans We understand every office is different, especially in the summer.

10 Things Your Current Commercial Cleaning Company Might Be Missing

commercial cleaning company

Table of Contents Your office looks clean at first glance, but is it really? Unfortunately, many commercial cleaning companies overlook critical areas or skip steps. If you’re investing in commercial cleaning services, don’t settle for providers who only deliver the bare minimum Here are 10 signs it might be time to say goodbye to your current cleaning contract and upgrade your commercial cleaning service. At Jani-Serv, we’ve seen firsthand how poorly delivered janitorial services can affect your business image. .Whether you’re managing an office cleaning in Salt Lake City or a warehouse in Provo, this list will help you evaluate quality. 10 Things to Watch Out For: High Touch Surface Sanitation All high touch areas (phones, light switches, doorknobs, elevator buttons, shared desks, breakrooms, etc.) need to be disinfected and sanitized, not just wiped. These areas are germ hotspots and if they are ignored, they can cause major issues. Some companies skip proper high-touch surface disinfection, which puts your team at risk. Some cleaning companies don’t prioritize those spots because they look clean to the human eye. However, we can’t always see germs, and it’s critical for a healthy workplace that those high-touch areas be sanitized regularly. Detailed Dusting (Not Just Eye-Level)   To make sure your office or workplace is truly dust free, it’s going to take more than an eye level sweep of the place. A common issue we see is dust building up on baseboards, vents, blinds, and ceiling corners. Even though those places may not be as visually important, any dust in the workplace can be a place where pollutants and allergens take over. Your HVAC system will blow around dust from anywhere, not just the easy to see places. We’ve stepped in after a failed post-construction cleanup and handled the job properly. Proper Disinfection Techniques  Is your current cleaning company using EPA-approved disinfectants? Are they letting them sit on each surface for long enough before wiping them off? Many spray disinfections need to be left on for a minimum of three minutes to be effective. Unfortunately, some companies prioritize a fast clean over a true clean. At Jani-Serv, Inc. we follow office disinfection best practices. Floor Care Beyond Vacuuming   Vacuuming is important, but it isn’t the only step in floor care. To truly be taking care of your floors, a good cleaning company should also provide stain treatment and carpet shampooing for carpet and rug areas. They should also provide floor waxing treatments for your other floors. These practices are incredibly important for the longevity of your floors and can also be critical for safety. The deep clean of a carpet shampoo actually removes bacteria in carpet fibers. Vacuuming can only remove particles on top of the fibers. Skipping regular floor care services not only looks bad, but increases safety hazards. Many providers cut corners when it comes to carpet cleaning in high-traffic areas. Restroom Deep Cleaning  Commercial restroom cleaning requires more than emptying the trash, wiping down the mirror, and restocking supplies. You need your cleaning company to tackle the tough stuff, even office bathroom smells. Your cleaning company should be disinfecting every surface in the bathroom, and cleaning baseboards, floor grout, and providing odor control. Green Cleaning Products   If your current cleaning company is still using harsh chemicals, their practice is outdated. There have been so many strides made in cleaning products lately that allow cleaning companies to use eco-friendly products that are tough on germs and bacteria and safe for your business and staff. Green janitorial services and eco-friendly office cleaning isn’t too much to ask for. It should be the bare minimum.  Consistent Cleaning Staff If your current cleaning company is sending new cleaning staff regularly, it can be a sign that they have a high turnover rate. This can also be an indication of inconsistent quality. Background checks and training are signs of a reliable company. Ideally, you want the same cleaning crew on your job each time. They can be knowledgeable about your building and what it takes to keep it clean, rather than a new group showing up and doing their best each time. Nightly or Weekly Reporting   Transparency builds trust. Is your current cleaning company earning your trust by providing proof of completed tasks? Do they leave a checklist of items they cleaned? Do they have any notes about services that may need to be scheduled soon to maintain cleanliness? If not, this is certainly something to consider asking for or looking for another company that already provides that peace of mind. For larger facilities, we offer industrial cleaning solutions designed for safety and compliance. Specialty Cleaning Services Ultimately, to keep your business clean, it will take more than weekly office cleaning. Larger projects like window washing, pressure washing, HVAC vent cleaning, etc. are also necessary and important. If your current company doesn’t offer those services, or doesn’t schedule them out for you when they notice they are needed, it is a gap in service. Customizable Plans   Your cleaning company should work with you to build a customizable cleaning plan perfect for your business and needs. If they are only offering a one-size-fits-all plan, that can be a sign that you may need to move on. Jani-Serv, Inc. offers tailored cleaning plans based on the current state of an office and the goals of the business for how cleaning should go. We keep best practices at the forefront of our cleaning, and provide quality results every clean.  Every business is unique—ask your provider if they offer customized cleaning plans to fit your schedule. If your current cleaning company is cutting corners, it might be time to switch. Contact Jani-Serv, Inc. for a free consultation and quote today!

Why Summer is the Best Time for a Deep Clean: Seasonal Commercial Cleaning Tips for a Healthier Workplace

seasonal commercial cleaning tips

Table of Contents While you might be familiar with “spring cleaning”, it is likely that you may have overlooked the importance of seasonal commerical cleaning inlcuding  summer cleaning. Similar to the concept of spring cleaning, summer cleaning focuses on the seasonal changes that necessitate a deeper clean as the summer months approach. Of course, it’s important to keep a clean workplace all year-round. Summer is an ideal time for a deep clean, especially summer deep cleaning for businesses! Why Summer is the Perfect Time for a Deep Cleaning When summer comes, high temperatures follow. When heat is high, there is a much higher growth rate of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Carpets and HVAC  systems specifically can suffer from high heat and humidity. If you want to reduce germs at work, you’ll have to pay special attention to cleaning during hot summer months. Summer pollen, dust mites, and pet dander (brought from home) can cause allergies for employees at the office if not cleaned properly. Workplace hygiene in summer is just as important as other times of the year. Unfortunately, you can’t take a vacation from germs. However, many of your employees likely are taking vacations, potentially making it easier to schedule and complete deep cleaning or any extensive cleaning projects needed. Key Areas to Target During a Summer Deep Clean You’ll want to specifically target a couple of key areas during the summer, the first of which should be carpets and upholstery. This is because of the fibers that can trap allergens, dirt, and bacteria. How often do commercial carpets need to be cleaned? At least 2 times a year, and oftentimes more frequently depending on the business type. It is a good idea to schedule one of these carpet cleaning services during the summer. You should also focus on deep cleaning tile and grout during summer months as the grime and mold is typically building up during this time of year. You’ll also want to get a professional deep cleaning on the windows since UV exposure shows dirt more clearly and UV rays are high in the summer. You’ll also want to ensure that your air vents and HVAC systems are fully functional and properly cleaned. You’ll need cooling services during the summer, but you’ll also want to be ready to head into colder months with a potential cold/flu season on the horizon.     To recap:  Carpets and upholstery  Tile and grout  Windows  Air vents and HVAC systems Benefits of Seasonal Deep Cleaning for Businesses When you prioritize cleanliness and seasonal deep cleans, there are several benefits that you earn. One of which is that a healthier environment leads to less sick days from employees. When you keep your premises free to allergens and pollutants, you are less likely to have employees catching avoidable illness and colds throughout the year. A clean workplace will also boost employee productivity and morale. People are more likely to work efficiently when the space around them is kept orderly and clean. A clean environment also enhances company image for any clients or visitors. If you have a client-facing office, this is especially important. Keeping things clean also helps preserve your property and the equipment you already have and use. Seasonal office cleaning or a commercial cleaning service can help you tackle seasonal deep cleans for businesses.    Interested in getting a free quote from Jani-Serv, Inc? Call (385) 436-1610.
