Emergencies happen: a restroom overflow, a lobby spill, a surprise executive visit, or a last-minute tenant showing.
Before the cleaning team arrives
- Secure the area: place wet floor signs and limit foot traffic
- Share access details: keys, lockbox, security desk, elevator rules
- Explain the priority: what must look perfect first (lobby, restrooms, conference rooms)
- Send photos: quick pictures help the crew arrive prepared
What to ask for (so you get the right outcome)
- Estimated arrival time and scope confirmation
- What equipment will be used (scrubber, shop vac, sprayer)
- How the area will be left safe (dry time, signage, walkthrough)
- Who your point of contact is during the job
