Our Janitorial Service Delivery Process
| Stage | Service Approach |
|---|---|
| Site Assessment | We assess the premises, workload, operating hours, and cleaning requirements. |
| Scope & Staffing | Duties, frequencies, personnel, equipment, and responsibilities are defined. |

Supervision and Quality Control
Effective janitorial services require more than simply deploying cleaning personnel.
Our service model includes structured supervision and quality assurance to maintain agreed standards.
Depending on the contract, this may include:
- Cleaning checklists
- Attendance monitoring
- Supervisor inspections
- Client feedback
- Corrective-action follow-up
- Staff performance monitoring
- Relief and replacement arrangements
Where appropriate, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can also be incorporated into the contract.
Equipment, Cleaning Products and Workplace Safety
Depending on the facility, we deploy appropriate cleaning tools, commercial vacuum cleaners, floor-cleaning equipment, cleaning trolleys, microfibre materials, waste-handling equipment, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Cleaning chemicals are selected according to their intended application, surface compatibility, and manufacturer instructions.
Our personnel are expected to follow safe work procedures, appropriate chemical-handling practices, PPE requirements, and site-specific safety procedures.
Kenya’s occupational safety and health framework requires workplaces to maintain appropriate standards of cleanliness and workplace safety. Organisations can refer to the Occupational Safety and Health Act – Kenya Law for the applicable statutory framework.
Janitorial Services vs Office Cleaning
Although closely related, the two services have slightly different purposes.
Office cleaning primarily focuses on scheduled cleaning of workplaces, while janitorial services generally provide continuous on-site cleaning and facility support during agreed working hours.
For example, an assigned janitor may maintain washrooms throughout the day, respond to spills, monitor waste bins, clean shared spaces, and keep high-traffic areas presentable.
This distinction allows organisations to choose a service structure that matches their operational requirements.
