📬 You may have received flyers or emails from various cleaning companies or come across a few online. Once you’ve contacted a few, it's common to invite one or two out for a walkthrough of your office so they can provide an accurate quote.👀 During this walkthrough, you’ll have the opportunity to explain exactly what services you need. The janitorial team will take notes and get a feel for your space—this helps both parties understand what’s expected and what’s needed.💻📞 Quotes can also be given over the phone or online. At Desert Cleaning Janitorial Services, Inc., we’ve been serving Tucson since 1980 🌵, and with just a few questions, we can usually provide a preliminary bid—often pending an in-person tour or floor plan review. We’ve even bid on buildings before they were built!🔍 Pro tip: Make sure you give all bidding companies the same information—this ensures you're comparing apples to apples 🍎🍏 when the bids come in.📝 Once you’ve gathered the quotes, it’s time to review. Many office managers use a checklist ✅ to help evaluate key factors like reliability, scope of service, and flexibility.💬 References matter—a lot! Think of them like a resume. One solid reference is great, but 10 strong references? That tells a powerful story. Both the quantity and quality of references can help make your decision crystal clear.💡 Remember, finding a new janitorial service doesn’t have to be daunting.👉 Based on experience, trust, and reliability, Desert Cleaning Janitorial Services, Inc. is a smart choice for your commercial cleaning needs.Locally owned since 1980.

Fully stocked restrooms = happy tenants! We check:
🧻 Toilet paper
🧴 Soap
🧼 Paper towels
🪞 Mirror, Mirror… Clean It All
It’s easy to miss spots on mirrors 👀 Some janitors only clean eye level — not us! We check from top to bottom (even the hard-to-reach spots!) to keep mirrors sparkling clean. ✨
🦠 Cleaning vs. Disinfecting
🧹 Final Step: Floor Care
Last
but not least: sweeping and mopping! ✅ We start from the far end of the
restroom and work our way out, finishing with removing wet floor signs
once it’s dry. 👟
At Desert Cleaning, we take restroom cleaning seriously — because details matter! 🧼🧽
🚨 Rapid Response When You Need It Most
Emergencies don’t wait — and neither do we. Our Rapid Response Team is ready 24/7 to handle urgent requests and report serious building issues like roof leaks, broken windows, or flooding.
🛠️ While we’re not restoration experts, we can help stop or slow the damage until professionals arrive.
💪 Staying Ahead of the Competition
At Desert Cleaning, we don’t just complete the job — we go above and beyond every time.
✅ Constant quality checks
✅ Detailed attention to every account
✅ Services tailored to your needs
We make sure everything (and more!) is being done on every visit.
🌧️ Monsoon Season? We’re On It.
Storms roll in fast, and we’re already on-site when they do. From leaky roofs to power outages, our team is trained to respond quickly and help protect your building.
🏜️ Trusted in Tucson Since 1980
We’re a local, family-owned company — proudly serving Tucson’s businesses for over 40 years.
You’re not just hiring cleaners — you’re partnering with a team that cares about your business like it’s our own.
If we’re onsite and notice—or are informed of—any damage caused by storms, such as:
⚡ Power outages
🌫️ Water intrusion or interior damage
…our team is trained to take immediate action to help mitigate damage and prevent further issues from spreading. Communication is key—so if you are aware of any building vulnerabilities, don’t hesitate to alert us. We’re here to help protect your property, rain or shine.
Family-Owned. Tucson-Based. People-Focused.
As a proud, family-owned janitorial company based in Tucson, we know firsthand how brutal the summer heat can be. With temperatures soaring well over 100°F, ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees is more important than ever. That’s why all of our team members are specially trained to handle the extreme heat while still providing top-tier service.
We provide cooling towels, plenty of water, hydration breaks, and encourage working in shifts when necessary.
Communication Shouldn't Be This Hard—But With Us, It Isn’t
Over the years, we've heard the same frustrating story time and time
again from office managers, property managers, and business owners: “Our
janitorial company doesn’t communicate!”
It starts with an unanswered call or a delayed email. Then comes the
empty promise: “We’ll fix it.” But nothing changes. Some companies
simply check boxes—they're inflexible, slow to respond, and unwilling to
adapt to your evolving service needs. You deserve better.
At Desert Cleaning, We Are Not That Company. Our communication is
prompt, personal, and professional. Whether you reach out via call,
email, or text—you’ll hear back fast. Our team is available 24/7, and
you won’t be speaking to someone stuck behind a desk who’s out of touch
with the job site. Our management team regularly puts boots on the
ground. We’re in the field, inspecting, assisting, and making sure
everything runs smoothly—because that’s how we stay in tune with our
clients and our crew.
If there’s a concern, we take care of it immediately.
If your service needs change, we adapt.
If you want honest, responsive service with a personal touch—that’s us.
Your Satisfaction Is Our Priority
We take great pride in building relationships with every one of our
clients. Your building isn’t just another stop on a checklist—it’s a
place that deserves care, consistency, and clear communication. If
something isn’t right, we fix it. If something changes, we work with
you. Flexibility, responsiveness, and trust are not extra features
here—they’re standard.
Thank you for continuing to support a locally owned, family-operated
business. We’re honored to serve Tucson’s offices, buildings, and
facilities—and we’re here whenever you need us.
Stay cool out there,

At
Desert Cleaning, we’re proud to have served our community for over 45
years. As a family-owned and operated company, we’ve built our
reputation on trust, quality service, and strong client relationships.
We believe that great cleaning goes beyond the surface — it’s about
dependability, communication, and commitment to excellence.
Communication is Key
One of the core values that has guided us since day one is quick and clear communication.
Whether it’s a schedule change, special request, or addressing an
issue, we understand that timely responses make all the difference. Our
clients know they can count on us to be available, responsive, and
proactive every step of the way.

Committed to Our Community
Being part of the Southern Arizona community is something we take seriously. Desert Cleaning is actively involved in giving back — not just as a company, but personally through our leadership team. From volunteering time with local charities to donating to causes that matter, we believe in making a difference beyond our work. Supporting our community is part of who we are.
At Desert Cleaning, safety isn’t just a seasonal focus—it’s a year-round commitment. But each June, we join the National Safety Council (NSC) in recognizing National Safety Month, a time to raise awareness about preventable injuries and promote well-being both on the job and at home.
As a family-owned business serving the Tucson community since 1980, we know that taking care of our employees and clients begins with a strong safety culture.
The commercial cleaning field plays a vital role in maintaining clean, healthy spaces—but it’s also one of the more physically demanding industries. Here are some important safety facts from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and OSHA:
Janitors and cleaners face an injury rate of 4.4 cases per 100 full-time workers, higher than the national average across all occupations.
These account for over 40% of all injuries in our industry. Wet floors, loose cords, and cluttered walkways are common hazards.
✅ Our Tip: Always use “Wet Floor” signs and double-check high-traffic areas.
Repetitive motions, awkward postures, and heavy lifting can lead to strains, sprains, and long-term wearon the body.
✅ Our Tip: Use proper lifting techniques and take short breaks when performing repetitive tasks.
Many cleaning agents are effective but potent. Improper handling can lead to skin irritation, respiratory issues, or eye injuries.
✅ Our Tip: Always wear gloves, goggles, and read product labels thoroughly before use.
Temporary or part-time workers may underreport injuries due to job insecurity or lack of knowledge about their rights.
✅ Our Commitment: At Desert Cleaning, we encourage open, honest communication. Your safety matters—no matter your role.
“At
Desert Cleaning, our team is like family. That’s why safety isn’t just
policy—it’s personal. We want every employee to head home healthy, every
single day. Let’s continue looking out for each other.”

When running a local janitorial office cleaning business, reputation
and trustworthiness play a crucial role in attracting new clients. One
of the most effective ways to build credibility and stand out from the
competition is by collecting and utilizing reference letters. These
letters serve as powerful testimonials from satisfied clients,
showcasing your reliability, professionalism, and quality of service.
Take a look at our list of reference letters that span the past 45 years
here.
Clients want to hire a cleaning service they can rely on, especially when granting access to their offices after hours. A strong reference letter from a previous or existing client reassures potential customers that your business is trustworthy and delivers excellent results.
Differentiates You from Competitors
With many janitorial companies competing for the same contracts, a well-crafted reference letter can set you apart. Potential clients are more likely to choose a company with proven experience backed by positive feedback from reputable businesses.
When submitting bids for office cleaning contracts, including reference letters adds credibility to your proposal. It demonstrates that you have a track record of satisfied clients who are willing to vouch for your services.
Reference letters not only help with direct marketing efforts but also encourage word-of-mouth referrals. Clients who provide a reference are likely to recommend your services to others, expanding your client base.
Final Cleaning: Construction Clean-Ups
In addition to our regular office cleaning services, we also provide post-construction clean-ups. If your office has recently undergone renovations or a build-out, we’ll ensure it’s move-in ready with our comprehensive construction cleaning services. Some of our services include:
• Removal of dust, debris, and leftover construction materials
• Deep cleaning of walls, windows, and floors
• Sanitizing and polishing all surfaces
• Proper disposal and recycling of materials
We can work with you and tailor our services we provide depending on the space and service specifications required. Our team ensures that your new or renovated space is not just clean but pristine, allowing you to start fresh without worry.
Janitorial Tip of the Month
Did you know? The average office keyboard has more bacteria than a
toilet seat. Encourage employees to regularly wipe down their desks,
keyboards, and mice with disinfectant wipes. Better yet, let us handle
the detailed sanitation as part of our regular service. Want to learn
more? Please contact us for more information!
Spotlight on Cleanliness: The Hidden Costs of a Dirty Office
A clean office isn’t just about appearances. Studies show that a cluttered or dirty workspace can:
• Reduce productivity by up to 15%
• Increase sick days among employees
• Create negative impressions on clients and visitors
Investing in professional cleaning services saves money in the long run by maintaining a healthy, welcoming work environment.
Let’s Talk: Have Questions or Feedback?
We’re always here to help! Whether you’re looking to adjust your cleaning schedule, add a new service, or just say hello, reach out to us anytime.
Let’s breakdown office cleaning here in Tucson. Here are a few key items to look for when hiring a Tucson office cleaning service. If you are looking for the lowest bidder then stop reading. In this article I’ll cover references, how long have they been in business in Tucson, are they just a national franchise or a quality local service that you can trust.
Reference letters are very important in the bidding process. A new company may not have any and could be a huge risk since there is no established trustworthy track record from them as a company and what quality of service they provide. An established company with no references is also a major red flag. References show a pattern of getting the job done with people and a company that are trustworthy as well as the level of service that is provided.
How long have they been in business here in Tucson? This shows how stable they are and if they are committed to servicing the Tucson janitorial office cleaning market. Are they going to close shop and leave Tucson? We have seen it before over our past 45 years in business, all of which has been here in Tucson.
Do you know if the janitorial service is hiding behind a national franchise name? You will wind up paying for the money you save. Over the years I have talked to many unsatisfied office managers, property managers and business owners that went with a franchise thinking they must know what they are doing, right? Once they find out that isn’t the case, that’s when they called Desert Cleaning. We’ll come in and straighten the cleaning mess and bring everything up to speed and keep it there. We have done this countless times, our reference letters can back this up.
Desert Cleaning has been in the office cleaning business in Tucson for 45 years and there is a reason - we do the job and take care of all of our accounts. And we know and understand the sectors of businesses we service, whether that’s a commercial office building, shopping centers, industrial businesses and more. See our link to references on our home page at desertcleaning.com. Contact us and experience the difference.
Has your office restroom or breakroom ever flooded? Have the ceiling tiles ever fallen and crumbled all over desktops and workstations? From the monsoon rain did your roof start to leak and make a slip hazard on your flooring? Did a window break at your office building and there’s shattered glass that needs to get cleaned up? Over the many years that we have been in business we have encountered all different types of emergency situations at the properties we are servicing that you can think of. Some of these need a rapid response service and that’s where we come in! We have a rapid response team that can be immediately dispatched to help. These are fully trained and seasoned employees who have experience with emergency situations and know how to help you and get the job done quickly. This is another way that we are doing everything we can to provide our clients with the best service possible.

Are you looking for a janitorial service in Tucson that will service in the daytime and is local? Well, you’re in the right place! Many people have asked us, is it possible to receive janitorial service during the daytime? Any time works, we can work with your schedule and provide you with services at any time. We have fully trained and dedicated staff working around the clock, servicing a vast variety of companies and industries all across Tucson and surrounding areas. Let’s take a look at the cost, benefits, and drawbacks to having a daytime service.
It does cost more for daytime janitorial service here in Tucson. Finding someone who is able to work during the daytime is slimmer and tougher to staff. Since the majority of our work is performed in the evening, usually after 5:00 pm. It also depends on the situation and location. All this adds to the cost, but can be accommodated.
The waiting time taken for someone on our staff waiting for someone on the phone or a meeting can be difficult to accommodate. Then people are using the restrooms, break rooms and all other areas of a building when the janitor is there during their job. Dusting is almost impossible to do while people are in their office.
What are the benefits to daytime cleaning? When the office is high security due to it either being a manufacturing/distribution facility, the type of business it is or due to the contracts and projects the client is working on all usually want daytime cleaning. All of these different types of companies generally have important items and confidential information and in this situation it is better for everyone to clean in the daytime.
A local janitor service is the number one way to get the janitor service you want. The local service gets more involved and provides a much better janitorial experience. Also, the money stays in the Tucson economy.
If you need a Tucson local janitor service call or email us and we’ll put a comprehensive office cleaning proposal for you. Some companies look for the cheapest office cleaning service and others get the service they want.
