I started Burgos Cleaning Service in 2012 with $250. Fifteen years later, recurring janitorial work is still the core of what we do: the same crew, on a set schedule, doing the same work the same way, and checking it before they leave.
We’re a commercial-only company based in Hartford, serving facilities across Connecticut.
Pick the Schedule That Matches Your Foot Traffic
The right schedule depends on headcount, restrooms, and whether visitors see the space.
| Model | How it runs | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Nightly janitorial | Crew arrives after you close and does the full scope every visit | Offices, medical practices, and multi-tenant buildings with daytime traffic |
| Daily janitorial | Service every day the building operates, scheduled around your hours | High-traffic sites, buildings open seven days, spaces that can’t wait until tomorrow |
| Recurring 2×, 3×, or 5× per week | Set days each week, with tasks rotated so nothing gets skipped | Smaller offices and lighter-use spaces |
We’ll recommend a starting frequency at the walkthrough. Our article on how often an office should be professionally cleaned goes deeper.
When the Building Needs Someone During the Day
A night crew resets the building. A day porter keeps it that way while people are in it.
During business hours, a day porter restocks restrooms, keeps the lobby presentable, handles spills, and empties trash before it overflows.
Busy lobbies, restrooms shared across tenants, and daytime client visits are the usual signs you need one. Porter hours can be added to any nightly program. See day porter vs. janitorial service for a side-by-side.
Restrooms Get Judged First
People forgive a dusty shelf. They don’t forgive a bad restroom. So restrooms get the most detailed part of every visit.
- Toilets, urinals, sinks, and counters cleaned and disinfected
- Partitions, door handles, faucet handles, and flush valves wiped
- Mirrors and fixtures polished
- Soap, paper towels, and toilet paper restocked
- Floors swept and mopped, with attention around fixture bases where odor starts
Floor Care That Holds Up Between Projects
Routine floor care is part of every janitorial program: vacuuming carpet, dust-mopping and damp-mopping hard floors, and catching stains before they set.
Bigger floor projects, like stripping and refinishing hard floors or deep carpet extraction, are quoted separately from the recurring program.
Disinfecting the Things Everyone Touches
Shared touchpoints get disinfected on a schedule, not when someone remembers. That means handles, switches, elevator buttons, railings, and break-room counters.
It’s a set task on the visit checklist, done the same way every time.
Trash, Liners, and Recycling
Every bin is emptied and relined each visit, recycling stays in its own stream, and the dumpster area stays picked up, since it’s often a visitor’s first view from the parking lot.
We Inspect Our Own Work Before You Have To
We inspect our own work regularly and fix what we find before it turns into your complaint.
Supervisors inspect the building during their on-site rounds. They rate each item on the checklist, and those ratings roll up into a single score for the visit. Every inspection gets logged. When something doesn’t pass, it gets photographed, fixed, and checked again, so a problem is closed out instead of just noted.

Before leaving

When Something Can’t Wait for the Next Visit
Spills, leaks, a flooded restroom, a last-minute clean before a big visit: call 860-709-5220 or email info@burgoscleaning.com, and we’ll work out how to get someone there.
How a Janitorial Contract Gets Started
- Walkthrough. We walk the building with you and see how it’s actually used: traffic, restrooms, floors, problem spots.
- Scope. You get a written scope that spells out what gets cleaned and how often, so there’s no guessing later.
- Schedule. We set visit days and times around your hours and your building’s access rules.
- Start date. Your crew starts on the agreed date.
We carry general liability, umbrella, and workers’ comp coverage.
A Janitorial Program in Practice: Flow Tech
Flow Tech’s facility is part office, part showroom, part demo lab, and part warehouse: four kinds of dirt on one janitorial program that runs twice a week.
“I’ve definitely noticed an improvement. The entryway looked particularly clean when I came in this morning, and a coworker mentioned how clean the kitchen was.”
— Elana, Flow Tech

Janitorial Questions Facility Managers Ask Us
What’s the difference between janitorial services and commercial cleaning?
Janitorial is the recurring part: the routine upkeep that happens on a set schedule, every week. Commercial cleaning is the wider category. It also covers one-time work like deep cleans, post-construction cleanup, and floor projects. See our commercial cleaning services page for the full range.
How often should a facility have janitorial service?
It depends on traffic, restroom use, and whether clients or patients see the space. Busy and public-facing buildings usually need nightly service. Lighter-use offices often do fine at two or three visits a week.
What’s included in a typical nightly janitorial visit?
Trash, restrooms, touchpoints, dusting, floors, break rooms, and entry glass. The checklist above has the detail.
Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
For regular service, our supplies and equipment are kept at your facility. For one-time project work, we bring our own.
What is a day porter, and does my building need one?
A cleaner on site during the day. If your lobby or restrooms look worn before the night crew arrives, consider one.
How are your crews supervised and inspected?
Every account gets a consistent crew and a lead supervisor. Supervisors inspect during on-site rounds, rate each item, log the inspection, and make sure anything that missed gets fixed and re-checked.
