Retail and Commercial Plaza Cleaning in Peterborough
Sales floors, washrooms, and entrances kept ready through your busiest hours.
Cleaning for stores, showrooms, and plazas
Retail is judged in the first ten feet. Smudged entrance glass, a gritty mat, a cloudy floor under the lights, or a washroom a customer regrets asking for will cost you more goodwill than any display gains.
We clean independent stores and franchises, showrooms, service counters, and whole commercial plazas from the Lansdowne Street strips to downtown storefronts, and out through the Kawarthas towns we serve, including Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, and Havelock. Property managers can put the common areas and the exterior on one program; single-unit owners can start with their own four walls.
High traffic is the whole problem. A store that fills and empties all day needs a program set against real volumes rather than square footage alone.
Typical tasks in a retail program
- Sales floor swept, dust mopped, and damp mopped, or vacuumed where carpeted
- Hard floor finish maintained with scheduled burnishing or scrubbing so it holds its shine under the lights
- Entrance doors, display glass, and interior glass cleaned
- Entrance matting vacuumed, salt and grit cleared through the winter
- Customer washrooms cleaned, sanitized, and restocked
- Fitting rooms cleaned, mirrors and benches wiped
- Checkout counters, pin pads, and service desks wiped and disinfected
- Shelving faces, displays, and fixtures dusted on rotation
- High dusting of ledges, signage, vents, and light fixtures on rotation
- Stockrooms, back corridors, and staff rooms cleaned
- Garbage and recycling removed to your collection point, cardboard handled the way you sort it
- Shared plaza corridors, stairwells, and common washrooms cleaned
- Sidewalks and entrance aprons pressure washed on a set cycle
- Litter cleared from parking and receiving areas
Cleaning around trading hours
The schedule follows your week, not a standard shift. Most stores want the floor done and the glass clear before opening, with the heavier work after close on the quietest nights. Plazas with several tenants usually need the common areas hit early, before the first unit unlocks.
Seasons change the plan too. November through March, the entrance is the whole battle: salt, slush, and grit tracked across a finished floor will dull it if the matting and the mopping are not keeping up. Through the summer, the exterior and the parking area matter more.
If you add a unit or take on the plaza next door, the scope can be reviewed inside the term.
Inside and out
A store is not just its interior. Customers form an opinion in the parking area and at the door, so exterior items sit in the same conversation as the sales floor: aprons and sidewalks pressure washed, building faces cleaned, litter cleared from the lot.
We handle all types of commercial cleaning, so one-time work fits alongside the regular program: a post-construction clean after a fit-up, a deep clean before a grand opening, a move-out at the end of a lease. What each of those adds to a quote is set out in our guide to commercial cleaning pricing.
Getting started on a store or a plaza
Retail quoting turns on two things we cannot see from the street: what your floor is actually made of, and how busy the place gets on its worst day. So the walkthrough is free, booked at a time that suits you, with no obligation at the end of it.
We come to the unit, look at the sales floor, the back of house, the washrooms, and the entrance, and ask when the store is quiet enough to work in. For a plaza, we walk the common areas and the exterior with the property manager and separate what belongs to the property from what belongs to each tenant.
What you get back is a written scope: the tasks, the areas, and the frequency. Once the program is running, completed visits and inspections show up in your client portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clean before we open or after we close?
Both work. Retail cleaning usually lands after close or early enough that the floor is dry and the glass is done before the first customer walks in. Where a store needs coverage through trading hours, those hours can be written into the program.
We manage a plaza with several tenants. Can you handle the common areas?
Yes. Shared entrances, corridors, common washrooms, stairwells, and the exterior can be scoped as one program for the property, with tenant units quoted separately where those tenants want them included.
Do you clean outside as well as inside?
We do all types of commercial cleaning, which covers exterior work: entrances and sidewalks pressure washed, litter and garbage cleared from parking and receiving areas, and exterior building cleaning on a set cycle. Those items are priced separately from the interior program.
What about the mess after a renovation or a big event?
One-time projects are part of what we do, including post-construction cleaning after a fit-up or a renovation, and cleanup after a sidewalk sale or a promotion. Our emergency line answers around the clock, 365 days a year, for anything that cannot wait for the next scheduled visit.
How is retail cleaning priced?
Sales floor area, back-of-house and stockroom space, washroom count, daily foot traffic, floor type, and frequency all move the number, and exterior work is its own line. The full list is on our commercial cleaning pricing page, and the walkthrough is free.
