Janitorial vs. day porter: what your building actually needs
Property managers often ask for "cleaning" when they need two different services.
Nightly janitorial happens after your people leave: trash, restrooms, floors, desks, kitchens. It resets the building for tomorrow. If your complaint is "the office looks tired by Friday", this is the fix.
A day porter works while the building is open: lobby glass, restroom checks between janitorial visits, spill response, conference-room turnarounds, supply restocking. If your complaint is "the restrooms are a mess by 2pm" or "the lobby never looks right when visitors arrive", no amount of night cleaning fixes it - that is a porter problem.
The math: porters are priced by coverage hours, janitorial by visit scope. Buildings under steady public traffic (medical, retail-facing lobbies, multi-tenant towers) usually justify both; a quiet professional suite rarely needs more than solid nightly service.
One practical test: walk your building at 2pm on a Wednesday. What you find wrong is porter work. What you find wrong at 8am is janitorial work.
