Case Study: Day Porter Service for a Commercial Property

Project Overview
Smart Janitorial was hired to provide day porter service for a commercial property in Long Beach, Ca that needed ongoing cleaning support during normal business hours.
The property experienced heavy daily traffic, which caused restrooms, lobbies, entrances, breakrooms, trash areas, and common spaces to become dirty throughout the day.
The customer needed a dependable porter who could maintain these areas while employees, tenants, customers, and visitors were still using the building.
The Customer’s Cleaning Challenge

Nightly janitorial cleaning was not enough to keep the property consistently clean throughout the workday.
The customer was dealing with:
-
Restrooms needing frequent attention
-
Trash cans filling during the day
-
Dirty entrances and lobby areas
-
Breakrooms needing ongoing cleaning
-
Spills requiring quick response
-
High-traffic floors becoming dirty
-
Restroom supplies needing restocking
-
Cleaning complaints during business hours
The customer needed daytime cleaning support that could respond quickly without disrupting normal business operations.
Smart Janitorial’s Solution

Smart Janitorial completed an onsite walkthrough and created a custom day porter program based on the property’s traffic, operating hours, restrooms, common areas, and cleaning priorities.
The porter’s responsibilities included:
-
Restroom checks and cleaning
-
Trash removal
-
Restroom supply restocking
-
Lobby and entrance cleaning
-
Spill response
-
Breakroom cleaning
-
Common area maintenance
-
Spot floor cleaning
-
High-touch surface cleaning
-
General daytime cleaning support
The account was supported by clear service expectations, account management, communication, and Smart Janitorial’s Quality Control Process.

The Result

After the day porter program was implemented, the property stayed cleaner and better maintained throughout normal business hours.
Restrooms received more consistent attention, lobby and entrance areas remained more presentable, trash was removed more frequently, spills were handled faster, and common areas received ongoing maintenance.
The customer also had a clearer process for communicating cleaning needs and requesting service adjustments.
