Multi-tenant office building cleaning works well when everyone knows who cleans what: the lobby and shared restrooms on one side, each tenant's suite on the other. When that line is not written down, the elevator lobby gets cleaned twice and the shared kitchen not at all.
BizProClean offers office cleaning services in Northern Virginia and Maryland for property managers and for tenants in shared buildings. Our crews come on evenings and weekends, after the floors have emptied.

Agreed in writing
- Who supplies soap, paper towels and liners

How Often Should Shared Spaces Be Cleaned?
- Every workday: the lobby, shared restrooms, elevators and common trash.
- Two to five times a week: each suite, set by headcount and visitors.
- Every month: vents, baseboards and high ledges in the corridors.
What the Rules Say
OSHA requires every place of employment, passageway and service room to be kept "in a clean, orderly, and sanitary condition." The CDC says regular cleaning is enough in most situations, and that high-traffic areas may be cleaned more often or disinfected as well.
Office Buildings We Clean in Northern Virginia and Maryland
BizProClean is a locally owned and operated company based in Tysons, Virginia. We clean shared buildings for property managers and for single tenants, from a written plan that names every area, every task and how often it happens. We provide commercial cleaning services in Tysons, VA, janitorial services in Reston, VA and office cleaning services in McLean, VA.
One plan covers the whole building: common areas and suites sit in one scope. Our after-hours crews follow the building's rules for badges, elevators and loading docks, and a supervisor compares each area with the plan. Each tenant can get the part of the scope that covers its own suite, so a question about who cleans what has a written answer. When tenants need help during the day, our day porter services keep the lobby and restrooms in order, and our guide to day porter vs janitor explains the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who cleans the common areas in a shared office building?
Usually the property manager hires a crew for the lobby, elevators, corridors and shared restrooms. Tenants arrange cleaning for their own suites unless the lease says otherwise.
Can one company clean the common areas and the suites?
Yes. One written plan can cover both, with each task assigned to one side.
When is a shared building cleaned?
On evenings and weekends, after tenants leave, following the building's access and elevator rules.
Who supplies paper towels and soap in shared restrooms?
The plan names the supplier. Either way, our crew refills the dispensers on every visit.
