When managing a mid-sized to large commercial building, perhaps the greatest day-to-day demands revolve around routine janitorial and maintenance care. The occasional large project or renovation definitely will require your attention at times — air conditioners go out, roofs need replacing, renovation projects get a spot on the calendar — but that is not where you spend the bulk of your attention, time, and energy. It’s actually the little things that necessitate the bulk of your mental load!
Regardless of your sector or specific needs, all educational facilities, medical facilities, churches, office buildings, financial institutions, and manufacturing facilities share in common the need for maintaining a clean and hygienic environment for those who enter. These ongoing demands can be the bane of your existence if you are constantly jumping from one commercial cleaning company to another, trying to find a company whose service capabilities match your (every growing and shifting) needs.
If this describes you, then take a moment to offload your mental load to the pros who have been working with companies just like yours for over 30 years — Sonlight Cleaning Services.
