Frequently asked questions about commercial cleaning.

The answers below explain our approach without adding unnecessary promises or invented details.

01
Before getting started

Quote & assessment

6 questions
01How do I get a quote?−

Send us the address, property type, main areas to maintain and desired frequency. Certain details can then be clarified before the final proposal.

02Do I need to know the exact square footage?+

No. Provide the information you have. For larger or more complex properties, certain details can be confirmed afterward.

03Is an on-site building visit always necessary?+

Not necessarily. It can be useful when a property is large, has multiple areas or is difficult to assess accurately from a distance.

04What information should I provide?+

The address, building type, main areas, desired frequency and any access or scheduling constraints are the most useful details.

05Is pricing based only on square footage?+

No. Square footage helps, but scope, frequency, types of areas, access, traffic and scheduling constraints also affect the proposal.

06Can I request a frequency without knowing what is ideal?+

Yes. You can provide your preference or simply describe how the building is used. Frequency can then be structured according to the areas and traffic level.

02
Once recurring

Frequency, scope & quality

6 questions
01What commercial cleaning frequency is available?+

Depending on the property, service can be structured from 1 to 5 visits per week. Certain areas can also have a different frequency within the same contract.

02What does “scope of work” mean?+

It is the list of areas, tasks and frequencies included in the contract. It serves as the reference to avoid different interpretations from one visit to the next.

03Are the same tasks completed at every visit?+

Not necessarily. Some tasks are completed at every visit, while others follow a different frequency defined in the scope.

04How is a recurring issue reported?+

The issue should be tied to a specific area or task so it can be understood, corrected and followed up consistently.

05What happens if the usual cleaner is absent?+

A documented scope makes replacement coverage easier because tasks and priorities do not depend solely on one person’s memory.

06Do you also provide one-time cleaning?+

NettoyageMobile.ca is primarily focused on recurring commercial cleaning. One-time requests can be kept separate from the contract and evaluated individually.

03
Building coordination

Access, keys & schedules

6 questions
01Can you clean before or after business hours?+

Yes. Service can be organized before opening, after hours or within a coordinated service window based on building activity and access.

02How do you handle keys or access codes?+

Access procedures must be defined with the client before service begins and adapted to the building’s reality. Specific details depend on the property.

03What if the alarm system changes?+

Any important access change should be communicated before the next visit so service can be coordinated properly.

04Can you work while employees are present?+

Yes, when it works for the building. Certain tasks may still be easier to organize before opening or after business hours.

05What happens if an area becomes inaccessible?+

An inaccessible area cannot be serviced normally. The client can be informed and access can be coordinated for a later visit depending on the situation.

06Can we define a specific service window?+

Yes. The service window is one of the items to clarify before service begins in order to reduce conflicts with normal site operations.

04
Changing needs

Contracts, additions & changes

6 questions
01Can the scope be changed after service begins?+

Yes. If needs change, certain areas, tasks or frequencies can be reassessed and clearly incorporated into the contract.

02What is an out-of-scope request?+

It is a task or area that was not part of the planned recurring service. It should be clarified separately rather than becoming an implied expectation.

03Are consumables always included?+

Specific consumables should be identified in the proposal. It is better to distinguish them clearly rather than assume they are automatically included.

04Can we increase or reduce the frequency?+

Yes. Frequency can be reassessed when building use changes or when certain areas require a different schedule.

05What happens when a new area is added?+

The new area can be assessed and then added to the scope if necessary. The goal is to keep the contract aligned with the building’s current reality.

06Can the contract include multiple frequencies?+

Yes. The same property may require daily tasks in certain areas and less frequent work in others.

05
Property portfolio

Multiple properties & multi-site

5 questions
01Can you manage multiple properties?+

Yes, when the addresses, frequencies and constraints allow for a viable operating structure. Each property still keeps its own defined scope. View our multi-site approach →

02Does each address receive its own scope?+

Yes. Even for the same client, buildings can have different uses, frequencies and constraints.

03Can visits be grouped by area?+

When possible, grouping properties geographically can improve operational efficiency and route stability.

04Can different addresses have different frequencies?+

Yes. Each site can be structured around its own needs rather than forcing the same frequency across the entire portfolio.

05Can changes be centralized?+

Yes. For multiple properties, it helps to have one clear communication point so changes can be tied to the correct site and scope.

06
Products & environments

Equipment, warehouses & scope limits

6 questions
01Do you bring your own products and equipment?+

The proposal can specify the items planned for service delivery. Any special building requirements should be clarified before service begins.

02Can you use specific products requested by the client?+

A specific requirement can be discussed before service begins to confirm that it is compatible with the scope and building surfaces.

03Do you clean warehouses?+

Yes, for routine commercial cleaning of administrative offices, washrooms, break rooms, employee spaces and accessible areas included in the contract.

04Do you provide specialized industrial cleaning?+

Our service focuses on recurring commercial cleaning. Technical areas, industrial processes, production areas or regulated environments must be evaluated separately.

05Do you provide residential cleaning?+

NettoyageMobile.ca is focused on recurring commercial cleaning for businesses and professional properties.

06Do you clean production areas?+

Production or technical areas should not be assumed to be included. They require a specific assessment separate from routine commercial cleaning.

An important distinction

Recurring commercial cleaning vs specialized work.

This distinction prevents promising a type of service that is unrelated to normal commercial building cleaning.
