Tailored advice for property owners, managers, hosts, and residents navigating Athens schedules, semester cycles, events, and historic materials.

Detailed Service Coverage by Neighborhood

Specific cleaning protocols for Athens’ diverse architecture and needs.

Cleaning Historic Homes in Five Points & Cobbham

Historic preservation cleaning: Homes in Five Points (30606) and Cobbham often feature original heart pine floors and vintage millwork. Our teams use pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for unsealed or older varnishes found in these early 20th-century structures.

We also specialize in dust remediation for high ceilings common in bungalows, using HEPA-filtration extensions to reach moldings without ladders, minimizing risk and maximizing cleanliness.

Student Housing Turnover Protocols (Normaltown & Downtown)

Semester-based logistics: We coordinate with property managers for the May and August rush. Our deep clean teams are equipped to handle high-volume turnover days, focusing on appliance interiors, bathroom descaling, and baseboard detailing to ensure units pass inspection.

For Downtown Lofts, we handle access logistics (loading docks, elevators) to ensure crews arrive and finish on schedule.

Venue & Commercial Support (Downtown Athens)

For downtown venues and restaurants, we offer late-night resets and pre-opening shines. This includes floor scrubbing for high-traffic areas and restroom sanitation to ensure your space is ready for the next event or service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in your standard commercial janitorial service?
Our janitorial plans are custom-built for Athens offices and facilities. They typically include trash removal, floor maintenance (vacuum/mop), restroom sanitization, and high-touch surface disinfection. We can also add periodic services like carpet extraction and floor waxing.
Do you offer post-construction cleaning for new developments or renovations?
Yes. We handle post-construction phases for both residential and commercial sites in Athens. Our scope includes removing drywall dust, cleaning paint splatter, detailing windows, and removing stickers from appliances so the property is 100% move-in ready.
Are you equipped for biohazard or specialized industrial cleaning?
Yes. We provide specialized cleaning for sensitive environments, including biohazard remediation and industrial degreasing. Our teams use proper PPE and follow strict disposal and sanitization protocols to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
How do you schedule cleaning around the Athens semester calendar?
We plan heavier deep cleans at move-in, mid-year, and move-out points. For property managers and Greek housing, we set target dates in advance to keep inspections, walk-throughs, and key exchanges on a predictable track.
How do you protect historic floors and trim in older Athens homes?
For heart-pine floors, original trim, and plaster walls, we use neutral pH products, low-moisture mopping, and controlled agitation. We avoid saturated mops and harsh abrasives to preserve the character and integrity of historic materials.
Do you offer recurring maid service for busy Athens households?
Yes. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly maintenance visits. The first visit is usually a deeper reset, followed by lighter maintenance cleans that hold the standard. You can pause for travel or semester breaks as needed.
What does your event or venue cleaning typically include?
Event cleaning is structured in three phases: pre-open shine, mid-event porter support (restrooms/trash), and post-event reset. We focus on entries, glass, and back-of-house areas so the space is ready for the next booking.
How do you clean studios or lab-style spaces with sensitive equipment?
We align with your specific SOPs, often using HEPA vacuuming, low-lint microfiber, and moisture-controlled wiping for consoles and benches. We document what was cleaned to create a clear record for your technical team.
