Checklist

Core maintenance priorities

Adjust frequency based on occupancy and foot traffic.

1) Focus on high-traffic zones

Entrance mats, lobbies, stairwells, and elevators should be scheduled first. These areas form the first impression for clients and staff in Windsor, LaSalle, and Amherstburg facilities.

2) Restroom and breakroom hygiene

Daily sanitization, restocking, and odour control keeps shared spaces healthy. Track usage so supplies stay ahead of demand.

3) Floor care cycles

Plan weekly vacuuming and mopping, with quarterly deep cleaning depending on flooring type and wear.

4) Waste and recycling routes

Create predictable collection routes to prevent overflow and ensure recycling compliance across the building.

5) Seasonal deep cleaning

Schedule quarterly or seasonal resets for vents, baseboards, and detail cleaning to keep facilities fresh.

FAQs

Building maintenance FAQ

How often should common areas be cleaned?

For most Windsor-Essex facilities, daily touch-ups keep lobbies and hallways presentable, with deeper cleans scheduled weekly.

What’s a good janitorial checklist length?

Keep it focused on essential tasks, then add site-specific needs like high-touch surfaces or tenant priorities.

Can maintenance schedules be adjusted by season?

Yes. Winter months often require more floor care and entryway cleaning due to salt and moisture.
