Janitorial Services
in Mobile & Baldwin County, AL

Ongoing janitorial service under a written scope: the same crew on your account, a weekly supervisor inspection, and one point of contact.

Janitorial service is the ongoing model: a defined scope, performed on a set schedule, by a crew that learns your building and is held to a checklist. It is different from calling someone to clean once. Premier Cleaning & Janitorial, LLC has run commercial janitorial accounts in Mobile since 2021, and we work only in commercial buildings.

Most of our accounts are cleaned after hours, between 5 PM and 6 AM, so nobody works around a vacuum. Every crew member is a W-2 employee of ours, not a subcontractor or a staffing-agency placement, and each one has passed a nationwide criminal background check before a first shift. Across Mobile and Baldwin counties we clean more than 1.3 million square feet a month.

This page explains how a janitorial contract works: what is cleaned nightly and weekly, how the walk-through and proposal go, and how we check our own work. If you only need a single deep clean, commercial cleaning is the better fit.

Know the terms

Janitorial vs. commercial cleaning vs. one-time cleaning

People use these words loosely, and vendors sometimes blur them on purpose. Here is how we use them.

  • Janitorial service. A recurring contract. The scope is written down, the visits are scheduled, and the same crew returns to the same building. The goal is a consistent standard week after week.
  • Commercial cleaning. The broader term for cleaning a business property. It can be recurring or a single visit, and it often covers project work such as carpet extraction or floor refinishing. See our commercial cleaning page and office cleaning page.
  • One-time cleaning. A single visit, such as a deep clean before a tenant moves in or after a renovation. There is no ongoing standard to maintain, so the crew does not learn the building.

If your building is occupied every week, recurring janitorial service is usually the better value. Soil removed nightly never builds into the kind of deposit that needs machine work.

How it works

From walk-through to weekly inspection

The process is the same for every account, and none of it requires you to commit before you have seen it.

  • Free walk-through. We meet you at your facility, look at every surface and room type, and ask about access, alarms, consumables and sensitive areas.
  • Written proposal. You receive the scope, the schedule and a certificate of insurance. We are insured, with general liability and workers’ comp on every employee.
  • Crew assignment. A consistent crew is assigned to your account, working our documented 7-step process.
  • Verification. Crews clock in by GPS, a supervisor inspects the account every week, and you can reach a real person at our Mobile office on weekdays.

If something is missed, tell us. We correct it and add it to your account checklist so it does not recur.

Frequently asked questions

What does janitorial service mean?

Janitorial service means recurring, scheduled cleaning and upkeep of a commercial building under a defined scope. It typically covers trash, restrooms, floors, dusting and high-touch disinfection, performed by a consistent crew. It differs from a one-time clean because the work is repeated and checked against a standard.

What is the difference between janitorial and commercial cleaning?

Janitorial service is the ongoing, contract-based routine. Commercial cleaning is the wider category that includes janitorial plus one-off and project work, such as carpet extraction or post-construction cleanup. Many buildings use both: a nightly janitorial scope with periodic project add-ons scheduled around it.

What is included in janitorial services?

The core is trash and recycling, restroom sanitizing and restocking, floor care, dusting, and disinfecting high-touch surfaces. Weekly and monthly tasks add detail work such as baseboards, vents and grout. We write the exact list into your proposal after a walk-through, so nothing is assumed.

How often should janitorial service happen?

It depends on headcount, visitor traffic and restroom count. Smaller offices with no public traffic often do well on two or three nights a week. Busier buildings and anything with a visitor lobby usually need five. We recommend a frequency during the walk-through and explain why.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

We write the term into the proposal, so you will see it before agreeing to anything. Ask about it during the walk-through. We would rather earn the account each month through inspections and results than rely on a clause to keep it.

Will the same people clean my building every time?

Yes. We assign a consistent crew to each account, all W-2 employees with nationwide criminal background checks completed before their first shift. A stable crew learns your layout, your access rules and what you notice. We do not use subcontractors or staffing agencies.

How do I know the work is actually done?

Crews clock in and out with GPS, so there is a timestamped record of each visit. A supervisor also inspects the account weekly against the written checklist. If you spot a miss between inspections, call us and we will return to correct it.

Do you serve Baldwin County as well as Mobile?

Yes. We serve all of Mobile County and Baldwin County, from Saraland and Theodore to Daphne, Fairhope, Spanish Fort and Foley. Our office is in downtown Mobile, and Spanish Fort is roughly a 15 minute drive. Walk-throughs happen at your facility.
