Commercial Office Cleaning Case Study in Newmarket, Ontario
​Case Study | Como Maintenance Services
How COMO Maintenance Services delivers flexible, reliable office and warehouse cleaning tailored to a client's operational requirements.
Location: Newmarket, Ontario
Facility Type: Commercial office and warehouse
Service: Recurring commercial cleaning
Cleaning Frequency: Biweekly
Contract Duration: Over one year
Outcome: Satisfied client and renewed cleaning contract
Project Overview: Customized Office Cleaning for a Newmarket Business
Every commercial facility operates differently, and an effective cleaning program should accommodate those differences.
COMO Maintenance Services was contracted to provide recurring office and warehouse cleaning for a Newmarket-based business operating an administrative office, production warehouse, and shipping and receiving area.
Unlike conventional after-hours cleaning arrangements, this client required cleaning services on specific days and at designated times during normal business operations.
The facility also had limited space available for storing cleaning equipment and supplies.
These requirements created operational challenges involving staff scheduling, equipment transportation, and maintaining consistent cleaning standards while employees continued their daily activities.
Rather than requiring the client to modify its operations, COMO Maintenance Services developed a customized cleaning arrangement designed around the facility's needs.
The Challenge: Three Operational Requirements
1. Cleaning During Specific Business Hours
The client required cleaning to be completed during designated operational hours rather than evenings or weekends.
This meant coordinating cleaning activities with employees working in offices, production areas, and shipping and receiving operations.
The cleaning schedule also needed to remain consistent despite the challenges of assigning personnel to specific biweekly time slots.
2. Maintaining Reliable Staffing
Finding qualified cleaning personnel available for the client's exact schedule presented an additional challenge.
To maintain service continuity, COMO adopted a hands-on management approach.
When suitable cleaning personnel were unavailable, company managers and even ownership participated directly in cleaning operations.
This commitment helped maintain the agreed cleaning schedule without transferring staffing challenges to the client.
3. Limited On-Site Equipment Storage
The facility's available storage space was primarily dedicated to business operations and inventory.
Consequently, permanently storing cleaning equipment, tools, and supplies on-site was not practical.
COMO addressed this challenge by organizing the transportation of necessary cleaning materials and equipment to and from the facility for scheduled visits.
This allowed the client to retain valuable storage capacity for its own business activities.
Our Solution: A Customized Commercial Cleaning Program
​COMO Maintenance Services implemented a biweekly cleaning program covering the administrative, shared, and warehouse areas of the facility.
Office and Administrative Cleaning

Warehouse and Storage Areas
In addition to the administrative offices, COMO provides floor cleaning in the warehouse used for production, shipping, and receiving.
The facility also includes a mezzanine used for material storage.
Cleaning activities are coordinated with the client's operational requirements to accommodate employees and ongoing business activities.
Environmental Considerations: Responding to Client Preferences
The business owner expressed a preference for environmentally conscious cleaning and disinfecting products.
In response, COMO incorporated CloroxPro Eco-Clean products into the facility's cleaning program.
Product selection was discussed with the client, demonstrating COMO's willingness to adapt cleaning procedures to specific environmental preferences while considering appropriate product applications and safety requirements.
Transparency, Health and Safety, and Chemical Documentation
An important part of the relationship is maintaining transparency about cleaning methods and products.
COMO provides the client with information about its cleaning procedures, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for chemicals used at the facility.
This helps the client understand the products being brought into its workplace, relevant safety precautions, and the procedures used during scheduled cleaning.
Our approach emphasizes communication, responsible chemical handling, and cleaning methods suited to the facility's operational environment.
Results: Long-Term Satisfaction and Contract Renewal
The customized cleaning arrangement has been maintained for more than one year.
Despite the challenges associated with restricted cleaning schedules, staffing availability, and limited equipment storage, COMO has continued providing the agreed biweekly services.
​
The client has expressed a high level of satisfaction with the cleaning services and has renewed the cleaning contract.
This renewal demonstrates the value of a cleaning provider willing to adapt its operations to meet client requirements.
The project also illustrates that commercial cleaning success depends on more than clean surfaces. It requires scheduling reliability, management accountability, operational coordination, and clear communication.
