Retail Establishment cleaning in Portland
Portland, Oregon, is also known as the City of Roses. Despite its large metropolitan population, Portland preserves a small-town vibe. This has been maintained due to urban planning, a good public transportation system, and a commitment to the wellbeing of the environment.
The Willamette River courses through Portland and meets the Columbia River on the other side of which is the suburb of Vancouver. Downtown, Portland is the commercial heart of the City of Roses with The Pearl District having great places to hang out and shop in. Many retail establishments depend on commercial cleaning companies to clean the exterior and interior of shops so that staff and management can concentrate on providing great services to their customers and on building up their business.
Exterior cleaning in Portland
It is important to maintain the exterior of the building so as to have an attractive and welcoming look. A clean and neat exterior will attract potential customers as well as enhance the prestige of the retail establishment. Exteriors may be stained due to carbon emissions, graffiti, or due to the spread of algae, molds, lichen, and mildews. Exterior cladding may be cleaned with cleaning solutions and microfiber cloths if the cladding material is delicate. Exterior cladding may also be washed with pressurized power washers.
Parking lot cleaning
Parking lots can be cleaned with the help of pressurized power washers. These will dislodge most dirt, stuck-on chewing gum, and ingrained dirt and stains. More stubborn stains can be removed with the help of abrasive media blasting cleaning techniques. These involve the use of abrasive materials such as dry ice, soda, or sand, which are sprayed at high pressure to the surface, which is to be cleaned.
Window cleaning for storefronts
Storefront windows must always be clear of smudges, stains, and scuff marks, which is why many retail establishments depend on commercial window cleaners to clean their windows thoroughly according to a regular schedule. Windows must be cleaned from both the inside and outside of the store to make sure that they are spotless. Windows may be cleaned with the use of a chamois and scrim. Windows may also be cleaned with a water-fed pole if they are at or above street level to a height of 75 feet. Water fed poles use deionized water to provide streak-free window panes. They are made of strong and lightweight carbon fiber and can also be used to clean exteriors, window frames, and skylights.
Carpet and Floor maintenance in retail establishments
Carpets in the retail establishment must be steam cleaned so as to kill all the microorganisms which can accumulate in a high traffic public area as well as to remove stains and dirt. Carpets can also be cleaned by the carbonated cleaning method, which is a low moisture cleaning method and has a shorter drying time. Professional cleaners may also use dehumidifiers or air dryers to speed up drying times. Carpets may also be cleaned with the encapsulation method, which has no drying time, so carpets can be put to use immediately afterward. Stone floors in the retail establishment may be honed, buffed, polished, and sealed periodically. Vinyl and wooden floors are also polished, stained, waxed, or sealed as needed. Daily cleaning will involve vacuuming and wet and dry mopping of floors. Fixtures and fittings, as well as commonly touched surfaces such as counters, are also dusted and wiped with disinfecting cleaning solutions.
Cleaning the HVAC system in retail establishments
The ducts and vents that make up the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning must be periodically cleaned to make sure that they do not get clogged with dirt and dust. Clogged pipes of the HVAC system can reduce air quality as well as increase heating and cooling bills. Lights and fans in the retail establishment are also wiped clean with disinfectant and dusted daily.
Cleaning restrooms in retail establishments
Restrooms are cleaned according to OSHA standards of sanitation and hygiene in the workplace. Urinals, toilets, sinks, and showers are washed and disinfected. Counters are sanitized with disinfected cleaning solutions. Doorknobs and door handles are wiped down while the soap dispensers, air dryers will also be disinfected. Bright work, fans, lights, and other fittings will be dusted. Floors are mopped with disinfecting and anti-slip cleaning solutions.

Grocery Store Cleaning
Retail supermarkets often outsource regular cleaning in order to simplify the store cleaning process and minimize costs. Supermarket or grocery store cleaning can be difficult due to long hours and the high traffic that supermarkets experience. Commercial Janitorial specializes in breaking down supermarket cleaning efficiently: grocery store floor care, supermarket department cleaning, outside cleaning, mechanical maintenance and labor. The majority of supermarkets possess vinyl composition tile (VCT) flooring, when cleaning we scrape up stickers and gum, sweep, edge-clean, and buff VCT floors. In cases where supermarkets have carpets, Commercial Janitorial provides customers with deep-cleaning services. With concrete supermarket flooring or ceramic grocery store flooring we have the tools to keep your floors clean.
Cleanliness in supermarkets, particularly in the grocery's food preparation and food handling areas such as butcher shops, meat rooms, delis, seafood departments and bakeries.
