What’s the Difference Between Commercial Cleaning and Janitorial Services?
While they are often used interchangeably, commercial cleaning often refers to services like floor scrubbing and waxing, carpet cleaning, and specialized cleaning. Janitorial cleaning refers to the day to day maintenance cleaning like vacuuming, mopping, dusting, restroom and kitchen cleaning. When we speak of commercial cleaning, we are referring to any cleaning performed in a commercial space, versus a residential space. Rest assured, all titles aside, The Dirt Doctors provide professional, background checked and insured cleaning services throughout Pittsburgh, PA with a standard that speaks for itself.
Entry Way & Lobby Cleaning
You only get one chance to make the first impression. Your office’s entry way and lobby are the first impression for every single person, customers and employees alike, that walks through those doors. An immaculate entrance projects professionalism and confidence before a single word is spoken. Our janitorial team services every element of your entry and lobby space, beginning with your entry glass doors cleaned streak free, door handles disinfected, counters and tables wiped down and all ledges and horizontal surfaces dusted. We maintain a top to bottom cleaning process as dust and particulate fall down to surfaces and flooring which provides the most thorough clean. Carpets and mats are thoroughly vacuumed, hard floors are dust mopped then wet mopped, trash is removed and receptacles are relined. The use of EPA-registered disinfectants on all high touch surfaces like door handles and counters ensures your first impression is not only clean but also appropriately disinfected.

Conference Room Cleaning & Janitorial Services
The conference room, where minds meet and business happens. It’s arguably the highest consequence room in any commercial office space, demanding specific attention to detail so no one in the meeting is distracted by an unkempt office. Our commercial cleaning janitorial service covers every surface in your conference room. The conference table is often the focal piece of the space, ensuring a dust and streak free clean is a pleasant greeting for everyone. Glass doors are spot wiped streak free, all horizontal surfaces and blinds are thoroughly dusted and tables and counters are wiped down and disinfected using EPA-registered products. Floors are dust mopped then wet mopped or vacuumed depending on surface type, trash is removed and receptacles relined. As with all our commercial cleaning services we schedule around your schedule so your conference room is always client ready, never caught off guard by an unscheduled visit or last minute meeting request.
Cubicle & Office Workspace Cleaning
When you think of an office, the office cubicle likely comes to mind. Open office layouts and cubicle workspaces present a unique cleaning challenge, high density, personal workspaces that require a respectful and consistent janitorial approach. Our office janitorial services are designed to maintain a clean and productive workspace without disrupting the personal space, possessions or workflow for your staff. Horizontal surfaces, blinds and computer monitors are thoroughly dusted in all open and cubicle areas. Desks are wiped down per your instruction, respecting any personal items or work in progress. Tables are wiped, floors are dust mopped then wet mopped or vacuumed depending on surface type and trash is removed and receptacles relined on every visit. A clean open office environment reduces the spread of germs between employees in close proximity, contributing to fewer sick days and a more productive workforce. Our janitorial services are scheduled at a frequency and time that works around your office rather than interrupting it.
Office Hallway & Common Area Cleaning
Often the most humble of spaces in your office warrant cleaning the most. The hallways and common areas of your office are the connective tissue between every other space we clean. Employees and visitors both pass through them multiple times a day making them a high traffic, high touch environment that demands consistent janitorial attention. Our commercial cleaning professionals clean every element of your hallways and common areas. Wall hangings and décor are dusted, chairs and furniture are thoroughly dusted and wiped down, and water fountains are disinfected and wiped using EPA-registered products. Hard floors are dust mopped then wet mopped and carpeted areas are vacuumed ensuring every thoroughfare in your facility is clean and presentable from the moment your doors open. Clean hallways and common areas are often overlooked but never go unnoticed when they are neglected. Our janitorial services ensure they never are.
Restroom Janitorial Service
A clean restroom is a non negotiable standard in any professional office environment. It is one of the few spaces every single employee uses daily and speaks volumes about the overall cleanliness standard of your facility. Our commercial janitorial services cover every surface and fixture in your office restrooms. Following our top to bottom cleaning protocol we begin by dusting the tops of dividers, vents and light fixtures before wiping mirrors streak free, disinfecting and wiping all counters, sinks and faucets, switch plates and door handles using EPA-registered disinfectants throughout. Toilets, urinals and urinal wall dividers are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected on every visit. Trash is removed, receptacles relined and all dispensers including paper towels, toilet paper and hand soap are checked and refilled. Floors are swept and wet mopped to finish. Your employees deserve a clean and consistently maintained restroom and we deliver that standard on every visit.
Office Kitchen & Break Room Cleaning
There’s always one… Every office has at least one person who simply refuses to clean up after themselves. Professional janitorial services exist precisely because even the most conscientious staff cannot maintain the standard a commercial kitchen and break room requires. The coffee station alone, whether it’s a standard drip pot, Keurig, Nespresso or espresso machine sees enough daily use to demand regular attention. Microwaves accumulate food particles with every use, individually insignificant but collectively creating odors and buildup that undermine the comfort of the entire space. Refrigerators don’t require daily cleaning but benefit enormously from a thorough inside and out cleaning on a regular schedule. Our top to bottom approach covers ceiling fixtures, vents, wall décor, cabinets and handles before moving to seating and table tops cleaned regardless of material. Countertops and appliances are cleaned and disinfected using EPA-registered food-safe disinfectants, trash is removed and receptacles relined and floors are mopped or vacuumed to finish. A clean break room is more than a courtesy to your staff, it’s a reflection of the same standard you hold every other space in your facility to.
Office Stairwell Cleaning
Stairwells are among the most trafficked and least glamorous spaces in any multi-story commercial office building, like hallways they are noticed far more when neglected than when properly maintained. Every employee and visitor that moves between floors passes through them, using the handrails and treading the same steps repeatedly throughout the day. Our commercial janitorial services cover every element of your stairwells. Banisters are wiped down and disinfected, ledges and horizontal surfaces are dusted and steps and landings are swept, mopped or vacuumed depending on surface type on every visit. Clean and well maintained stairwells contribute to the overall safety and professional appearance of your facility, reducing slip hazards from debris and presenting a consistent standard of cleanliness from the ground floor up.
Elevator Cleaning
Not every office has an elevator. For multi-story commercial facilities the elevator is arguably the highest traffic single space in the entire facility. A confined space that every person in the building uses multiple times daily, touching the same buttons, leaning against the same walls and standing on the same floor. Our commercial janitorial services cover every surface in your elevator. Stainless steel surfaces are cleaned and polished, buttons and control panels are disinfected using EPA-registered products, floors are swept and wet mopped or vacuumed depending on surface type. Elevators are a reflection of the overall cleanliness standard of your building and one of the few spaces where every single occupant of your facility forms an opinion. A clean elevator communicates that every corner of your facility is held to the same professional standard.
