Janitorial Services

Janitors, also called custodians, are very important for the maintenance and functioning of a building. A lot of janitors have certifications in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), which makes them all the more valuable. They do more than clean; they shovel snow, conduct routine inspections and keep management abreast of certain repairs that require the work of an outside contractor.

Housekeeping Supervisor

Supervisors keep an eye on housekeepers to make sure the cleaning jobs are being carried out correctly. Usually a housekeeping supervisor has had his own experience in the field before being promoted to supervisor. They are the liaison when the team needs to speak to the building management about everything. Some are college graduates with business administration degrees.

House Cleaning Teams

These people are put together to clean and maintain a building under the specifications of the building management. They are headed over by a supervisor. They clean restrooms, offices, dump trash and they also see if there are any repairs needed.

Private Maids

These are house cleaners who are assigned to a family to take care of the family's needed. They don't necessarily only include cleaning. Some maids cook, sew, take kids to school and anything else her contract stipulates.
