About Us
Custodial services and housekeeping are essential components of Facilities Management, focused on maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming indoor environments. While the terms are often used interchangeably, they can differ slightly in scope:
Custodial Services
Custodial Services generally refer to routine cleaning and maintenance tasks in institutional or commercial settings, such as classrooms, offices, laboratories, and public spaces. Key responsibilities include:
- Sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming floors
- Dusting surfaces and cleaning windows
- Sanitizing restrooms, common areas, and high-touch surfaces
- Trash collection and waste management
- Floor care, including waxing or polishing
Housekeeping
Housekeeping often emphasizes a broader approach to cleanliness, comfort, and organization, especially in residential or hospitality settings. It includes:
- Room setup and tidying (e.g., dormitories, lounges)
