What Office Buildings Need
An office has to look right when people arrive in the morning and stay that way through the day. The lobby is the first thing visitors see. Restrooms and break rooms get constant use. Carpet and windows wear down slowly until someone notices.
That usually means three layers of cleaning: a full clean every night, light upkeep during the day, and periodic deep cleaning on a schedule. 6 Log provides all three, along with the staff to do them, so you can work with one company instead of coordinating several vendors.
Nightly Janitorial
Nightly janitorial covers the full clean after your team goes home:
- Vacuuming carpets, mopping hard floors and spot cleaning
- Emptying trash and recycling and replacing liners
- Cleaning and sanitizing restrooms
- Cleaning cafeterias, break rooms and kitchen areas
- Wiping down desks, counters and high-touch surfaces
Your office is ready for the next morning without cleaning interrupting the workday.
Day Porters for Business Hours
Day porters keep high-traffic areas clean while the building is open. They tidy lobbies and common areas, check and restock restrooms, handle spills as they happen, and keep break areas in order. For offices with heavy foot traffic, visitors or shared amenities, a day porter fills the gap between nightly cleans.
See day porter vs. nightly janitorial for how the two roles split the work.
Carpet, Floors and Windows
Periodic deep cleaning keeps an office from looking worn:
- Carpet cleaning, including hot water extraction, for high-traffic carpeted areas.
- Tile and grout cleaning for lobbies, restrooms and break rooms.
- Window cleaning for offices, storefronts and multi-story buildings.
- Upholstery cleaning for lobby seating, conference rooms and lounges.

Building Projects and Parking
Office work also comes with projects. After a buildout or renovation, post-construction cleaning removes construction dust, debris and residue so the space is ready for move-in. For buildings with garages, parking structure pressure washing removes oil residue, tire marks and grime from decks and ramps.
Choosing a Cleaning Schedule
There is no single right schedule for an office. It depends on how many people use the space, how many visitors come through, and how the building is laid out. A few patterns are common:
- Nightly janitorial only: fits smaller offices with light daytime traffic.
- Nightly plus a day porter: fits offices with busy lobbies, shared restrooms or frequent visitors.
- Periodic deep cleaning on a calendar: carpet, tile and grout and windows scheduled around slower weeks, such as holidays.
- Verification: ATP cleaning verification for break rooms and restrooms if you want a measured check on results.
We can help you settle on a schedule once we understand the building.
Shared and Multi-Tenant Buildings
Property managers often handle cleaning for common areas while tenants manage their own suites. 6 Log can cover lobbies, corridors, shared restrooms, fitness rooms and parking structures for the building, and work with tenants on their own spaces where needed. Clear boundaries on who cleans what keep standards consistent across the property.
Janitorial Staffing for Offices
Some offices want a cleaning crew. Others want people they can eventually hire. 6 Log offers both.
- Lease-to-hire: specialized staff without the HR burden, with the option to transition them to full-time. You evaluate before committing and pay only for hours worked. More on lease-to-hire
- Permanent Management Team: a dedicated team that 6 Log directly manages for your daily cleaning needs. More on the management team
Staffing through 6 Log can also help prevent work overload when someone is out, and decrease costs tied to hiring in-house, such as benefits, payroll taxes and unemployment claims.
