- Commercial cleaning is essential for maintaining your building's appearance, boosting your curb appeal, extending the life of building features, and promoting health and safety.
- Consistent cleaning services for property managers mean less to worry about.
- Learn how to prepare your office for the new year with our year-end office cleaning checklist.
As we reach the end of December and begin anew, it’s time to start planning for a fresh start to the year for every business. Whether you’re a property manager, HOA supervisor, or retail business, a little planning can go a long way with the right cleaning crew to execute it.
Golden State Maintenance is a commercial cleaning and property maintenance company that has over 35 years of experience in West Los Angeles. We’ll help get your commercial cleaning checklist on track.
Floors & Carpets
Floor and carpet care are important seasonal property maintenance tasks on any commercial cleaning checklist that help to extend the life of these surfaces. When your property sees plenty of foot traffic, dirt and grime become embedded and slowly cause damage that destroys carpet fibers and scratches hard surface floors.
Carpet cleaning removes deep-down dirt, allergens, and stains to renew its appearance. Hard surface floor buffing, brushing, waxing, and sealing restores your floor’s glorious shine in a way that clients notice.
Make sure you're making great first impressions on clients in the new year with clean, sparkling floors.
Windows & Partitions
Nothing is more noticeable on a bright sunny day than dirt, streaks, and fingerprints smudged into windows and glass surfaces. To keep your tenants satisfied with their current location, window and partition cleaning should be next on your commercial cleaning checklist. This property maintenance should be left to the professionals who have the right equipment and insurance for safely reaching interior and exterior windows.
Clean windows let in every ray of sunshine, which during the winter months can be an important morale booster for tenants and their staff members.
Golden State Maintenance offers affordable window washing for buildings up to four stories high. We’ll also clean any glass partitions and mirrored interior design features in your properties.
Pressure Washing & Exterior Surfaces
Winter brings plenty of salt and dirty snow slung by shovels and plows. Your commercial cleaning checklist should also include pressure washing the exterior of your building, trash bins, parking lots, sidewalks, and outbuildings. Exterior pressure washing not only boosts the property’s curb appeal but also keeps your location EPA compliant.
Golden State Maintenance team members are professionally trained to pressure wash delicate surfaces like signage and hot water power wash the greasiest dumpsters.
Common Areas & Restrooms
In January, winter is still in full swing, and so is flu season. The more people interact, the more germs are being spread, and sending workers home sick. Health and safety are top priorities during this time, so be sure to include sanitation of common areas and restrooms on your commercial cleaning checklist.
Throughout the business day, janitors and day porters can sanitize high-touch areas like door handles, shopping carts, checkout counters, handrails, and benches. Day porters will also sanitize restrooms and keep them stocked with hand soap and paper products.
Trash & Recycling Areas
Prioritizing sanitation also means buckling down and keeping trash and recycling areas emptied regularly to promote tenant satisfaction and cleanliness. Overflowing trash bins are a breeding ground for bacteria and can quickly draw pests from the creepy crawlers to the dreaded rodents that are always looking for a warm new home in winter.
Our day porters always have trash control on their property maintenance checklist.

Specialized Property Needs
Every building has its own specialized property maintenance needs, from unique architecture and modern interior design elements to vintage features that need delicate care and upkeep. Buildings with multiple tenants and HOAs also come with their own challenges, which an experienced cleaning and maintenance company like Golden State Maintenance can take care of during and after business hours.
