Yes. We use green-clean, non-toxic, eco-friendly products that are safe for your staff, clients, and the environment. Our products meet commercial cleaning standards without harsh chemicals that can irritate employees or damage surfaces. We're happy to share our product list upon request if your facility has specific sensitivities or requirements.
-
Our full-service janitorial program covers all offices, restrooms, break rooms, conference rooms, lobbies, hallways, and high-touch surfaces. Every visit follows a detailed cleaning checklist, and you receive a quality inspection report after each service so you always know exactly what was done. We also offer a supply management program to restock restroom and janitorial supplies so you never run out.
-
Absolutely — multi-tenant commercial buildings are one of our specialties. We coordinate with property managers and building owners to cover all common areas, lobbies, stairwells, elevators, restrooms, and individual tenant suites on a schedule that works for your building. We can also provide separate billing and inspection reports per tenant if needed.
-
Yes. Carpet cleaning, floor machine scrubbing, stripping, and waxing are all available as standalone services — you don't need to be on a janitorial program to use them. Many clients schedule a deep carpet extraction or floor restoration once or twice a year in addition to their regular cleaning program. Call us at (207) 591-6757 to discuss your floor care needs.
-
After every cleaning visit, our supervisors complete a detailed quality inspection report for your building. This report confirms what was cleaned, flags any areas that need attention, and is shared with you and your dedicated account manager. It's our way of keeping ourselves accountable and making sure you never have to guess whether the job was done right.
-
We stand behind our work with a 24-hour issue response guarantee. If anything falls short of your expectations, contact your dedicated account manager directly and we will return to address it within 24 hours — no hassle, no excuses. This guarantee is part of every cleaning program we offer.
-
We are a locally owned, family-run Maine business — not a franchise. Southern Maine Cleaning was founded by Kevin Gee in 1996 and is now led by Kevin and his son Tyler. You work with the same team, the same leadership, and the same standards every time. There's no franchise turnover, no corporate call center, and no indifference — just a Maine company that takes pride in doing this work right.
-
Several things set us apart. First, we've been doing this since 1996 — over 30 years of commercial cleaning experience in Maine. Second, every client gets a dedicated account manager and quality inspection reports after every service. Third, we offer a 24-hour issue response guarantee. Fourth, we use eco-friendly, non-toxic products. And fifth, we're a local family business — not a franchise — which means you get consistent people, consistent standards, and real accountability every single time.
