Today we are going to go over what defines the two and how they differ.

Now at first glance they may seem to be very similar.

Janitorial crews do the deep cleaning and are usually in the building after hours.

Servicing after hours gives the janitorial crew more time to clean the building, mop and vacuum without the heavy foot traffic of when a building is open. They also have a more detailed scope of work and hit all of the nooks and crannies.

But I want to focus more on Porter Services.

Porter services usually include:

• Inspecting, cleaning, and disinfecting common areas
• Trash cleanup from daily use
• Cleaning, mopping, and polishing floors
• Cleaning of windows and glass doors
• Vacuuming
• Event set up/post-event breakdown & clean-up
• Respond to service calls

This isn’t the exhaustive list of their duties. In most cases, the scope of work depends on your building’s specific needs.

I also want to touch on the benefits of having a Porter at your location/s:

• Improvement of Building’s Appearance – You want your customers to be wowed when they walk into your building. Studies show that consumers are more likely to shop at a facility when it clean even if the products are more expensive.
• Cost Effective – Day porters working throughout the day will help keep hours of janitorial down.
• Maintain Building Safety - A day porter service cleans up spills and removes tripping hazards to keep the occupants from slipping or falling.
