If you're researching maintenance cleaning services for your business, you might be wondering: What exactly does "maintenance cleaning" include?

It's a fair question—and the answer matters. Understanding what's included helps you compare providers, set expectations, and ensure your facility stays clean, safe, and operating efficiently.

At Sunshine Maintenance, we specialize in professional maintenance cleaning services in Rhode Island—customized to meet the needs of your facility, your schedule, and your industry. Here’s what that typically includes.

1. Routine Surface Cleaning

The foundation of any maintenance cleaning plan starts with consistent surface care. This includes:

• Dusting horizontal and vertical surfaces
  
• Wiping desks, countertops, tables, and windowsills
  
• Cleaning glass doors and interior windows
  
• Spot-cleaning walls and light switches
  
  

Dust buildup not only affects air quality but makes your facility look neglected. Regular surface cleaning helps keep your business looking professional every day.

2. Floor Care (Hard and Soft Surfaces)

Floors take a beating, especially in high-traffic areas. Our maintenance cleaning includes:

• Vacuuming carpets and rugs
  
• Sweeping and mopping tile, vinyl, and laminate floors
  
• Spot-treating stains or spills
  
• Buffing or auto-scrubbing floors (based on service plan)
  
  

Want to extend the life of your flooring investment? Consistent floor care is one of the most cost-effective ways to do it.

3. Restroom Sanitization

Restrooms are non-negotiable. They need to be cleaned frequently—not just for appearance, but for hygiene and health standards. We typically include:

• Cleaning and disinfecting toilets, sinks, and urinals
  
• Wiping down mirrors, counters, and partitions
  
• Refilling soap, paper towels, and toilet paper
  
• Mopping floors and emptying trash
  
  

High-touch areas in restrooms require special attention to prevent the spread of germs and odors.

4. Trash Removal & Waste Management

Emptying trash is more than just taking out the garbage. We ensure:

• All trash bins are emptied and relined
  
• Waste is disposed of according to local guidelines
  
• Breakroom and restroom bins are checked every visit
  
  

In addition to standard waste removal, we can help manage cardboard, recycling, or specific industry-related materials as part of a custom cleaning plan.

5. High-Touch Point Disinfection

Especially since the pandemic, high-touch surface disinfection has become a vital part of routine maintenance cleaning. This includes:

• Door handles and push plates
  
• Light switches and elevator buttons
  
• Handrails and cabinet pulls
  
• Shared workstations or reception counters
  
  

Touchpoint cleaning helps reduce the spread of viruses, bacteria, and workplace illness.

6. Breakroom & Kitchenette Cleaning

If your facility includes a shared kitchen or break area, we’ll help keep it clean and presentable:

• Wiping down counters and appliance exteriors
  
• Cleaning sinks and faucets
  
• Emptying and cleaning trash and recycling bins
  
• Mopping the floors
  
  

A clean breakroom boosts morale and supports overall hygiene.

7. Entryway & Lobby Maintenance

First impressions matter. We make sure the first areas your employees or customers see are spotless:

• Cleaning glass doors and entry mats
  
• Vacuuming or mopping floors
  
• Dusting furniture and reception areas
  
• Sanitizing shared surfaces
  
  

A clean entrance sets the tone for the rest of your space.

8. Customizable Add-Ons Based on Your Facility

Every business is different. That’s why our professional maintenance cleaning plans are flexible. You can also include:

• Deep cleaning services
  
• Floor waxing or carpet shampooing
  
• Exterior window cleaning
