Frequently Asked
Questions

How do you ensure security and safety at my place of worship?

We prioritize the safety of your followers, their belongings, and all your assets and confidential information.

Our thorough employee vetting process helps us attract top talent and weeds out bad actors from the start. We also conduct background checks and verify referrals for all staff members.

let unauthorized individuals into the building and to contact our management team if they notice any unusual activity at your facility.

What cleaning services are recommended for religious facilities?

General janitorial services are a great foundation. Regular cleaning keeps your facility in good shape, but over time, you might notice your floors losing their luster or your carpets showing wear. In such cases, adding floor and carpet care to your janitorial routine can help. These services can be scheduled quarterly or semi-annually, based on your requirements.

How often should a religious facility be cleaned?

The cleaning frequency of religious facilities can vary depending on factors such as the size of the place of worship, the number of occupants, foot traffic and the nature of the activities conducted.

High traffic areas such as pews and chairs, entryways, common areas, and restrooms are typically cleaned daily along with trash disposal while other tasks such as spot carpet cleaning are usually weekly, and cleaning baseboards may be monthly.

Every place of worship is unique, and we will collaborate with you to develop a plan that meets your specific needs.

How should restrooms in a religious facility be cleaned?

Maintaining clean and hygienic restrooms is crucial for any place of worship. Our daily cleaning routine includes disinfecting all surfaces, cleaning toilets and urinals, polishing mirrors, emptying trash bins, and floor care. We will replace consumables as needed if included in our scope.

How are altars and pulpits cleaned?

Altars and pulpits are cleaned with great care and respect, using gentle methods and non-abrasive cleaning products. Sacred items are not moved or disturbed, and cleaning is scheduled during off-hours to avoid disrupting religious services. Only non-toxic products are used to preserve the integrity of the materials. Communication with religious leaders ensures that cleaning practices align with the facility’s religious guidelines and preferences.

Does my place of worship need disinfection services?

Disinfection is crucial in areas with high foot traffic or where contamination risks are elevated. We recommend applying disinfectants to high-touch, high-traffic areas to effectively eliminate bacteria and viruses.

How are high-touch point surfaces cleaned in a religious facility?

Frequently touched surfaces, pews and chairs, doorknobs, light switches, elevator buttons, handrails, and shared equipment, are thoroughly cleaned or disinfected with approved products. Special care is taken with these areas to reduce the spread of germs and ensure a clean environment.

How will you communicate with us and what customer service systems do you have in place?

We will communicate with you using your preferred methods, which we will establish before starting our service. Our operational application offers real-time messaging between our partners and cleaning teams, complete with a personalized dashboard for your convenience. If desired, we can share inspection reports and provide QR links for public feedback. You will have continuous, direct access to us to communicate any requests or input task orders.

We are a local Houston company with a streamlined management structure, making it easy for our partners to reach our leadership team. This allows us to respond quickly and be on-site promptly whenever needed.

What type of equipment and chemicals will be used at my place of worship?

We provide all the necessary cleaning equipment to meet your facility’s specific needs. This includes large items like floor machines, vacuums, and carts, along with their supporting parts and accessories. Additionally, we supply smaller tools such as spray bottles, dusters, and brushes.

We use top-quality chemicals that are effective and safe for both humans and the environment, avoiding any “forever chemicals.” If you’d like more information about our chemical program, we can share our product list and the respective safety data sheets.

If you have existing equipment or chemicals on-site that you’d prefer us to use, we are happy to accommodate your request and will adjust your quote accordingly.

Do you provide consumables (paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, can liners, etc.)?

It depends on your preferences. We can surely provide and manage consumables supply.

How soon can you begin service?

If you’re looking to switch cleaning providers, it’s standard to give 30-day notice to the current company and a 30-day start notice to the new one. Depending on your place of worship’s size and the scope of services needed, we can often begin within 30 days. Request a free quote, and we’ll provide a customized solution for your facility.

What time of day are services available?

Janitorial Services and Facility Maintenance are available around the clock. We offer a range of options, from day porters to overnight shifts. Most of the time, the services are performed after hours, typically between 5 PM and 11 PM. All services are adaptable to fit your facility’s schedule and requirements.

Are you insured?

We have general liability insurance, workers compensation insurance, and can procure a janitorial bond when needed. Safety and security are our top priorities, but in the rare event of an accident, we are prepared.

How frequently do you bill?

We bill our partners monthly.
