How recurring cleaning works
Every recurring agreement begins with a free walkthrough. We visit your facility, see how each area is used and ask what matters most to you and your team. From there we build a cleaning plan that lists what is cleaned, how often and when.
Service starts with an initial deep clean that brings the whole space up to standard. After that, scheduled maintenance keeps it there. Because we are not catching up on built-up dirt each visit, the time goes into consistent, careful work across the whole facility.
What is included in every visit
Your plan is written around your facility, but most recurring service covers the same core tasks. We agree on the details together so everyone knows exactly what to expect.
- Restrooms cleaned, restocked and checked
- Trash and recycling removal
- Vacuuming of carpeted areas and entry mats
- Mopping of hard floors
- Dusting of desks, ledges and fixtures
- Surface cleaning of counters, tables and high-touch points
- Kitchens and breakrooms, including sinks, counters and appliance exteriors
A schedule that fits your business
Some facilities need cleaning every business day. Others are well served three times a week, twice a week or weekly. We help you choose a frequency based on your square footage, how many people use the space and how the space is used, then set visits around your hours so cleaning never gets in the way of work.
If your needs change, for example a new team moves in or a floor is reorganized, we adjust the plan with you rather than leaving it as it was.
One clear point of contact
Long-term cleaning relationships work best when communication is simple. Every client has a clear point of contact at Afina who knows your account, your plan and your facility. If something needs attention, you know exactly who to talk to, and they already know the details.
Larger recurring contracts are welcome
We welcome conversations about larger recurring contracts, including full office floors, entire commercial and corporate buildings, and corporate campuses across Cook and DuPage counties. Larger facilities follow the same approach: a walkthrough first, a written plan for each area and a schedule agreed in advance.
What to expect at your walkthrough
The walkthrough usually takes less time than people expect. We walk the facility with you or a member of your team, room by room, and ask practical questions: when the building opens and closes, which areas get the most traffic, where problems tend to show up and what a previous cleaning service may have missed.
We also note details that affect the plan, such as floor types, the number of restrooms, kitchen and breakroom layouts, alarm and access arrangements, and any areas that should be left alone. Afterward you receive a cleaning plan and a quote that reflect your actual facility, not a generic checklist.
Why a long-term approach works better
When the same company cleans your facility week after week, it learns how your space behaves. We see which entrances bring in the most dirt in winter, which breakroom gets busiest and which restrooms need the closest attention. Over time, that knowledge makes cleaning more consistent and more efficient.
That is the reason Afina focuses on recurring commercial cleaning instead of offering a little of everything. With 10 years in business, we have built our routines around ongoing relationships with businesses in Cook and DuPage counties.
