  • Carpet Cleaning, Deodorization & Spot Removal

• Carpet cleaning: Your building’s carpet acts as an air filter, trapping dust, pollen and other particles. Eventually, it releases particles into the air that affect your health and well-being. The best way to keep your office/facility carpets looking good and lasting long is to have them professionally cleaned at regular intervals.  For heavy traffic areas (entrances and halls), do preventative cleanings 1 to 2 times per month. For medium-traffic areas (administrative offices), every 2 to 3 months is sufficient. For light traffic areas (conference rooms) every six months is recommended. Strathcona Cleaners provides comprehensive carpet cleaning services. 

• Window cleaning: Sparkling, clean windows allow natural light to penetrate. On dark Alberta winter days, you’ll want all the sunlight you can get! Though most commercial cleaning companies provide occasional interior window cleaning, only a few provide exterior window services. Strathcona Cleaners have the training and equipment to handle all of your window cleaning needs (even tall and hard-to-reach windows), keeping your building sparkling.

• Ceiling and Wall Cleaning: The walls and ceilings of your office/facility are exposed to the common irritants of life (cigarette smoke, grease, dirt, dust, mould, etc.). Repainting is time-consuming and costly. Our cleaning services will brighten, sanitize and deodorize a range of walls/ceilings; including drywall, tiled, non-textured or textured walls/ceilings.

• Restroom sanitation: Your restroom is as much a part of your company as your conference room, sales area or dining room. Lack of basic sanitation and cleanliness in restrooms can seriously damage your image and lead to losing your customers. Your employees and customers deserve clean, sanitized restrooms. Our restroom sanitation services provide a vital element to keep your building safe from bacteria and germs, enhancing your image by presenting a clean, well-maintained, and organized appearance.
