Commercial cleaning services in Austin

Commercial cleaning services in Austin under a Facility First program cover recurring janitorial work and the specialty cleaning that stores, restaurants and offices need between visits:

• Nightly or daily janitorial service: restrooms, trash and recycling, dusting, vacuuming and hard floor care
• Day porter service for high-traffic stores, lobbies and restrooms during trading hours
• Office cleaning on schedules set around building access rules
• Front-of-house restaurant cleaning, with kitchen sanitation scoped separately
• Entry glass, mats and storefront cleaning
• Post-construction and pre-opening cleaning for new stores and remodels
• Scheduled floor scrubbing, strip and refinish, and carpet extraction

Universal Recycling Ordinance. Owners and managers of commercial and mixed-use properties in Austin must give tenants and employees convenient access to recycling. Austin Resource Recovery requires single-stream recycling for paper, cardboard, metal, glass and hard plastics, recycling capacity equal to or greater than landfill trash capacity, and outdoor recycling containers within 25 feet of trash containers. Where indoor trash bins are provided in common areas, recycling bins must sit with them and be labeled in at least two languages. Education materials in two languages are due within 30 days of hire or move-in, when the program changes and every year, and a recycling plan is submitted each year between October 1 and February 1. Food-permitted businesses also submit an organics plan and give employees access to food donation, animal feed or composting.

For cleaning crews, this sets the routine: bins emptied into the right stream, signs kept in place and legible, and no mixing of recycling or organics into trash at the dock.

Grease and drains. Austin Water directs kitchens to sweep floors before mopping, clean spills with dry methods and never hose grease or food waste into drains, streets or gutters. Restaurant cleaning scopes are written to match.

Workplace rules. OSHA requires washrooms to be kept sanitary and supplied with soap and towels, waste to be removed as often as needed to keep the workplace sanitary, and walking surfaces to be kept free of spills and inspected regularly. CDC guidance calls for regular cleaning of high-touch surfaces, more often in high-traffic areas.

Austin’s long summers mean doors open and close constantly at busy stores and restaurants, and dust and grit wear hard floors and entry mats. Entry mats, entrance glass and floors near doors get extra attention in each scope. Heavy rain brings mud and water into entrances, so wet floor procedures and spill checks are increased on rainy days.

The annual recycling and organics plan window runs from October 1 to February 1. Cleaning records for each location, including container counts and sign placement, are kept current through that period so the property owner or manager has what the plan asks for.

1. Request. Recurring service is set up per location; one-off requests come in through the platform or by phone, with photos where available.
2. Triage. Facility First confirms the scope, frequency, building rules and any recycling or organics requirements for the site.
3. Dispatch. A vetted Austin cleaning provider receives the schedule or work order.
4. Photo close-out. The provider documents completed work, with photos for one-off and specialty jobs.
5. Verification and invoice. Work is checked against the scope through inspections and invoiced in one format.

Changes within the client’s approval limits proceed directly; added services above a limit are quoted first.
