DEEP CLEANING

In addition to regular services, Custodial Services offers “Deep Clean Services” on a request basis through the Work Request Center. A “deep clean” is a more comprehensive cleaning of a specific area. These services are typically performed by a team of custodians and scheduled with the requester. Many of the tasks in a deep clean are regularly provided custodial services but in a deep clean, these services are more detailed and time consuming. A deep clean service could be used in preparation for an event,  VIP visit, or as preparation for the arrival of a new employee. 

Additional services require a work request submission, and a PID. Under additional services, we provide custodial services in preparation for conferences and large meetings, additional deep cleaning requests, and additional trash and recycling bins.
