# Apex Cleaning Service > Recurring cleaning for warehouses, distribution centres, plants, and offices across the Greater Toronto Area, scheduled around the building. Sites: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/ and https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/ Email: info@apexcleaningservice.ca Service area: Greater Toronto Area Cleaning is scheduled around the facility, including after close and between shifts. Proposal requests are answered on business days. No street address is published. No client reviews are published. ## Outside a normal contract This is for manufacturing floors, packaging rooms, and the employee areas attached to them. We do not advertise cleanroom certification or hazardous-waste disposal. If a job needs either, we will say it is outside the contract. Do you clean the tops of the racks? No. The regular clean is the open floor, the dock, and the washrooms. Overhead dusting needs lifts and a separate crew, and we do not offer that yet. ## Services ### Warehouse & distribution centre cleaning A distribution building is judged by whether a trailer can back in and a picker can walk the aisle. We clean the floor, the dock, and the rooms people use, on a schedule that fits the shifts. Most of this work is around Pearson: Airport Road and Dixie in Mississauga, the 410 and 407 in Brampton, the 427 in Etobicoke, and Derry Road in Milton. The cleaning hours follow the building. Q: Can the crew work between shifts instead of overnight? A: Yes, if the building has a gap we can use. Tell us the shift pattern on the proposal form and we will price the window that doesn't sit on top of inbound freight. Q: Do you clean the tops of the racks? A: No. The regular clean is the open floor, the dock, and the washrooms. Overhead dusting needs lifts and a separate crew, and we do not offer that yet. Q: What do you need before you can price a warehouse? A: Square footage, number of docks if you know it, washrooms, floors, operating hours, and how often you want the crew in. A walkthrough is useful when the building has mezzanines, a lot of racking, or more than one address. #### Warehouse cleaning A recurring clean of the working warehouse: aisles, staging, lunch rooms, and the glass at the office overlooking the floor. Suited to: Storage warehouses and fulfilment buildings with forklift traffic. Timing: Between shifts, after the last outbound, or on a fixed nightly window. Includes: - Sweep and scrub of main aisles and staging - Spill spots picked up before they track - Lunch room, offices, and entry glass - Bins emptied on the route we agree Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/warehouse-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/warehouse-cleaning/ #### Distribution centre cleaning Built for buildings that never really go quiet. The scope follows the waves: a reset of docks and aisles without asking operations to stop. Suited to: Multi-shift distribution centres and e-commerce fulfilment. Timing: More than once a day, or a single deep pass in the slowest hour. Includes: - Dock plates and staging lanes - Aisle heads and battery-charge areas - Driver entrance and dispatch office - Washrooms restocked on the same visit Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/distribution-centre-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/distribution-centre-cleaning/ #### Loading dock cleaning The dock collects trailer dirt, stretch wrap, and whatever fell off a skid. This visit is only the dock, the pit, and the immediate staging. Suited to: Buildings where the dock is the complaint, not the whole floor. Timing: After a heavy inbound day, or as part of the regular warehouse clean. Includes: - Sweep of dock plates and levelers - Debris pulled from the pit edge - Approach apron inside the door line - Wrap, banding, and broken pallet bits removed Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/loading-dock-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/loading-dock-cleaning/ #### Warehouse floor cleaning Machine scrub of the concrete that forklifts and pedestrians share. The goal is a floor that isn't slick and isn't grey with tire dust. Suited to: Open concrete floors with forklift and pallet-jack traffic. Timing: When the aisle can be closed, even briefly. We don't scrub a live pick path. Includes: - Dust mop before the machine - Auto-scrub of the agreed routes - Edges and rack ends the machine can't reach - Wet areas marked until they are dry Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/warehouse-floor-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/warehouse-floor-cleaning/ #### Warehouse washroom cleaning Warehouse washrooms take a harder beating than office ones and are often the thing staff mention first. This can stand alone or ride with the floor contract. Suited to: Driver washrooms, plant floors, and mezzanine washrooms. Timing: Daily on occupied buildings. Less often only if the headcount supports it. Includes: - Fixtures, floors, and partitions - Dispensers checked and filled if you supply product - Waste removed - A note left if something is broken, not quietly skipped Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/warehouse-washrooms/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/warehouse/warehouse-washrooms/ ### Commercial & office cleaning Office cleaning fails in the details a tenant notices at 8am: a bin left, a boardroom table sticky, a washroom that ran out of soap. Apex writes the route room by room and runs it after the building has emptied, unless you need a porter while people are in. This covers tenant floors, multi-tenant buildings, showrooms, and street-level retail. Condo lobbies and corridors sit with property management, and are scoped as common area, not as a house clean. Q: Do you clean while the office is occupied? A: The default is after close. If the floor needs a midday reset, that is a day porter, priced separately so the nightly crew isn't asked to do both jobs badly. Q: Can one contract cover several suites or buildings? A: Yes. Say so on the form, including how many addresses. We would rather scope a portfolio once than pretend each suite is a surprise. #### Office cleaning A recurring clean of workstations, meeting rooms, kitchens, and washrooms. The same route each visit, so a missed room is obvious. Suited to: Tenant offices, professional suites, and headquarters floors. Timing: Evenings after close, or early morning before the first meeting. Includes: - Desks cleared of rubbish, not rearranged - Meeting rooms reset - Kitchen counters, sinks, and appliance fronts - Washrooms cleaned and dispensers checked - Floors vacuumed or damp-mopped by surface Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/office-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/office-cleaning/ #### Commercial building cleaning The landlord's portion of a multi-tenant building: lobby, corridors, elevators, stairwells, and shared washrooms. Suited to: Property managers responsible for base-building areas. Timing: Daily or five days, timed so tenants aren't walking through a wet lobby at open. Includes: - Lobby glass, floors, and entrance mats - Elevator tracks and call panels - Stairwells on a stated rotation - Shared washrooms on every visit Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/commercial-building-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/commercial-building-cleaning/ #### Retail store cleaning Sales floor, fitting rooms, staff room, and the glass customers see from the sidewalk. Done before the shop opens. Suited to: Street retail, showrooms, and units inside a centre. Timing: Before open. After close only when the store can leave access. Includes: - Hard floors dust-mopped and spot-mopped - Glass and entry cleaned - Fitting rooms and staff washroom - Back room swept, rubbish out Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/retail-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/retail-cleaning/ #### Common area cleaning Lobbies, corridors, amenity rooms, and the washrooms nobody's lease quite covers. Written so the manager can point at what is included. Suited to: Condo corporations, commercial landlords, and shared workplaces. Timing: A standing schedule, with a heavier pass after weekends where the building needs it. Includes: - Entrance and lobby each visit - Corridors on the agreed floors - Amenity rooms after peak use - Garbage rooms kept from becoming the complaint Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/common-area-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/common-area-cleaning/ #### Post-construction commercial cleaning The clean that happens after the trades leave and before staff or tenants move back. Dust in tracks, stickers on glass, and grit in every corner. Suited to: Office fit-outs, retail handovers, and refreshed common areas. Timing: A project date, once the site is actually ready. We will say so if it isn't. Includes: - Fine dust removed from surfaces and sills - Floors scrubbed, not just swept - Glass, frames, and fixtures detailed - Labels, film, and adhesive spots lifted Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/post-construction-commercial/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/commercial/post-construction-commercial/ ### Industrial facility cleaning A plant is not a warehouse with different signage. There is process equipment, a safety line, and a supervisor who cares where the crew walks. Apex treats industrial cleaning as a scoped route through the areas we are allowed in, written down before the first shift. This is for manufacturing floors, packaging rooms, and the employee areas attached to them. We do not advertise cleanroom certification or hazardous-waste disposal. If a job needs either, we will say it is outside the contract. Q: Will the crew follow our plant rules? A: Yes. PPE, walkways, and no-go zones are part of the scope conversation, not a surprise on night one. If a rule changes, tell us and we update the route. Q: Do you handle hazardous waste or production chemicals? A: No. We clean facilities. We don't dispose of process waste or take on jobs that need a hazardous-materials licence. #### Manufacturing facility cleaning Employee areas plus the floor around production, within the lines your supervisor sets. The machine itself stays with your team unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. Suited to: Light and general manufacturing with a defined walking surface. Timing: Between production shifts, or on a weekend window if the floor runs all week. Includes: - Aisles and marked walkways - Break rooms and offices on the floor - Washrooms and locker areas - Entrances and the path from the parking door Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/manufacturing-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/manufacturing-cleaning/ #### Factory cleaning A plain recurring clean for smaller plants: the floor, the lunch table, the washroom, and the office at the front. No inflated scope. Suited to: Single-building factories and workshops. Timing: After the shop closes, on the days you choose. Includes: - Sweep and mop of open floor - Bench edges and sills dusted where asked - Washroom and lunch room - Front office and entry glass Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/factory-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/factory-cleaning/ #### Industrial floor cleaning Scrubbing for concrete that holds oil mist, pallet dust, and foot traffic. We mark wet floor and we don't leave a machine in a forklift lane. Suited to: Plants and large workshops with a floor that needs a machine, not a mop. Timing: When that bay can be given to the crew. We will not work a live aisle. Includes: - Dry pick-up before water - Scrub of the agreed area - Degrease only where we have tested a spot - Edges finished by hand Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/industrial-floor-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/industrial-floor-cleaning/ #### Industrial washroom cleaning Locker rooms and line washrooms, cleaned to a standard you can check, with broken fixtures reported instead of worked around forever. Suited to: Plants with shift-change washrooms and locker rooms. Timing: Tied to shift change so the next crew walks into a reset room. Includes: - Toilets, sinks, showers if present - Floors and benches - Dispensers filled from product you supply, or ours if agreed - A short exception note when something needs a plumber Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/industrial-washrooms/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/industrial/industrial-washrooms/ ### Janitorial services Janitorial is the contract shape, not a different kind of dirt. It means a named frequency, a route, and someone accountable when a washroom is missed. Use it for offices, clinics, retail, and the front-of-house side of a larger building. Day porter and nightly service are different products. One keeps a live building presentable. The other does the full clean when people have gone. Buying one and expecting the other is how these contracts go sour, so we split them. Q: What is the difference between a nightly clean and a day porter? A: Nightly is the full clean after people leave. A day porter is on site while the building is open, dealing with washrooms, spills, and boardrooms between meetings. Many buildings need both. They are priced as two roles. Q: Do you restock soap and paper? A: Yes, if it is in the contract. Either we supply and bill the product, or we fill from product you keep on site. It is stated either way so dispensers are not a grey area. #### Daily janitorial Five or seven days of the core route: washrooms, waste, kitchens, floors, and touch points. The visit assumes the building can be worked. Suited to: Offices and occupied commercial buildings that need a reset every day they are open. Timing: After close, or before open if access is early. Includes: - Washrooms every visit - Waste and recycling out - Kitchen and break room - Vacuum or dust mop of the agreed floors Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/daily-janitorial/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/daily-janitorial/ #### Nightly janitorial The clean that happens once the floor is empty. More thorough than a porter pass, because desks, rooms, and floors can actually be done. Suited to: Offices that close, clinics after the last patient, retail after lock-up. Timing: A set start time after your closing hour, with a finish time you can rely on. Includes: - Full washroom clean - Horizontal surfaces in common and meeting rooms - Floors - Kitchen reset - Lights and doors left as your closing list requires Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/nightly-janitorial/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/nightly-janitorial/ #### Day porter service A person on the floor during the day. Washrooms get checked, a spill gets handled, a boardroom gets turned, the lobby stays presentable. Suited to: Busy offices, clinics, retail, and lobbies that can't wait until evening. Timing: A shift inside your open hours. Length depends on headcount and washroom count. Includes: - Washroom checks on a round - Spot cleaning and spills - Meeting rooms turned between uses - Lobby and entrance kept up Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/day-porter/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/day-porter/ #### Washroom sanitation Just the washrooms, for buildings that have the rest covered or that only hear complaints about one room. Suited to: High-traffic washrooms in offices, warehouses, retail, and clinics. Timing: Once or several times a day, matched to how hard the room is used. Includes: - Fixtures, floors, mirrors, partitions - Dispensers filled - Waste replaced - Consumables reported when stock is low Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/washroom-sanitation/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/washroom-sanitation/ #### Break room and kitchen cleaning The room that smells like last week's lunch if nobody owns it. Counters, sinks, tables, fronts of appliances, and the floor. Suited to: Office kitchens, plant lunch rooms, and staff rooms. Timing: With the nightly clean, or midday if the room turns over at lunch. Includes: - Counters and tables - Sink and tap - Appliance exteriors - Floor and bin Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/breakroom-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/breakroom-cleaning/ #### Restocking consumables Soap, towel, tissue, and liner, on a par level so the porter isn't discovering an empty dispenser in front of a visitor. Suited to: Any contracted building. It is an add-on, not an assumption. Timing: On the same visit as the clean. Supply either billed through Apex or drawn from your cupboard. Includes: - Par levels agreed per dispenser - Product stored where you want it - Usage visible enough to reorder before a stockout Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/consumables/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/janitorial/consumables/ ### Specialized cleaning These are jobs with a start and a finish, or a seasonal repeat. They sit beside a janitorial contract or stand alone. We price them from the surface and the access, not from a flat 'deep clean' label. Floor finish, carpet, interior glass, pressure washing of exterior hard surfaces, and post-construction. These are separate jobs from the nightly clean. Q: Can floor work happen over a weekend? A: Usually, yes. Finish needs time to cure before traffic. We will tell you the return-to-service time before you book, not after the floor is wet. #### Floor stripping and waxing Strip a tired vinyl or tile finish and put a new one down. Done when the floor has yellowed, scratched through, or been patched too many times. Suited to: Office corridors, retail floors, clinics, and common areas with resilient tile. Timing: A closed building, often a weekend. Not squeezed into a nightly clean. Includes: - Furniture moved only as agreed - Strip, rinse, and neutralize - New finish, coats as the traffic requires - Cure time stated before we start Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/floor-stripping-waxing/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/floor-stripping-waxing/ #### Floor burnishing A high-speed pass to bring back a finish that is dull but not worn through. It delays a full strip. It does not replace one. Suited to: Maintained VCT and sheet floors on a janitorial contract. Timing: After the nightly clean, on a rotation. Monthly is common. The floor tells us if that is too long. Includes: - Dust mop first - Burnish of the open floor - Edges left honest if the machine can't reach them Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/floor-burnishing/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/floor-burnishing/ #### Carpet cleaning Hot-water extraction for offices and common corridors. Spots are treated. Permanent stains are named, not promised away. Suited to: Offices, showrooms, and management offices inside a warehouse. Timing: End of day or weekend, so the carpet isn't walked on wet. Includes: - Vacuum before extraction - Extraction of the agreed areas - Spot treatment for spills we can move - Drying time and airflow noted Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/carpet-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/carpet-cleaning/ #### Interior window and glass cleaning Interior glass: entry doors, boardroom walls, partition glazing, and the glass looking onto a warehouse floor. Exterior high-rise glass is not this service. Suited to: Offices, showrooms, lobbies, and warehouse-front offices. Timing: A periodic add-on. Monthly or quarterly for most lobbies. Weekly only for heavy street entries. Includes: - Glass, frames, and sills within reach - Entry doors and interior partition glass - A note where film or damage can't be cleaned off Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/window-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/window-cleaning/ #### Pressure washing Exterior concrete and dock approaches: gum, tire marks, and winter film. We confirm drainage and what must stay dry before anyone starts the washer. Suited to: Dock aprons, sidewalks at an entrance, waste-pad pads, and storefront walks. Timing: Above freezing, during a closure or a quiet hour. Not in a way that ices the approach. Includes: - Surface wash of the agreed concrete - Gum and heavy spots given extra time - Water managed away from doorways Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/pressure-washing/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/pressure-washing/ #### Post-construction cleanup After the GC says it's done. Fine dust, stickers, track grit, and the bathroom that was used by the trades. We walk it first if the date looks optimistic. Suited to: Fit-outs, warehouse office buildouts, and renovated common areas. Timing: A booked project day, once trades are out and floors are down. Includes: - Detail dust of surfaces, sills, and tracks - Floors scrubbed - Glass and fixtures - Labels and adhesive Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/post-construction/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/specialized/post-construction/ ### Residential cleaning Apex is a commercial crew. Residential work happens when a property manager, a relocating employee, or an existing client needs a home cleaned properly. It is quoted on its own. It does not change how the commercial contracts are run. Regular house cleaning, a one-time deep clean, move-in and move-out, condo and apartment, and the clean after a renovation. We don't take on jobs that need a restoration contractor. Q: Is residential the main service? A: No. Warehouse, office, and plant contracts come first. If you need a recurring commercial crew, start there. If you need a home cleaned, use this scope and say so on the form. #### House cleaning A recurring clean of a house: kitchen, bathrooms, floors, and the surfaces that show dust. The same list each visit. Suited to: Houses on a weekly or biweekly rhythm. Timing: A weekday appointment. Not fitted into the gap between two warehouse shifts. Includes: - Kitchen and bathrooms - Floors - Dusting of open surfaces - Beds made if asked Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/house-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/house-cleaning/ #### Deep house cleaning A one-time pass that goes past the weekly list: inside the appliances you specify, baseboards, and the rooms that have been waiting. Suited to: A first visit, a seasonal reset, or a house that has gone a long time. Timing: A booked day. Longer than a maintenance visit, and priced that way. Includes: - Weekly list, plus inside named appliances - Baseboards and door frames - Cabinet fronts - Extra time in bathrooms Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/deep-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/deep-cleaning/ #### Move-in and move-out cleaning The empty-unit clean: inside cupboards, appliances, bathrooms, and floors, so a landlord or the next occupant can walk it. Suited to: Houses, condos, and apartments at the end or start of a lease. Timing: Between tenants, once the unit is empty. Furniture still in the room changes the quote. Includes: - Empty cupboards wiped - Appliance interiors - Bathrooms and floors - Marks we can remove without repainting Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/move-out-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/move-out-cleaning/ #### Condo and apartment cleaning The suite itself. Common corridors and lobbies are a property-management contract, not this visit. Suited to: Condominium and apartment suites. Timing: By appointment, with elevator booking left to the resident or the concierge. Includes: - Kitchen, bathrooms, floors - Surfaces - Balcony only if it is part of the written scope Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/condo-cleaning/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/condo-cleaning/ #### Post-renovation house cleaning Dust after a renovation is a different job from a weekly clean. We quote it once we know which trades have finished and whether floors are protected. Suited to: Houses and condos after a renovation, when the contractor's broom has already been through. Timing: After the dusty trades are done. We will reschedule if sanding is still happening. Includes: - Fine dust on surfaces and sills - Floors - Bathrooms and kitchen - Stickers and smudges on new glass Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/post-renovation/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/services/residential/post-renovation/ ## Industries ### Corporate offices Office cleaning after staff leave, and before the first meeting. An office contract is won or lost at 8am, when someone walks into a boardroom that wasn't reset or a washroom that wasn't filled. Apex cleans tenant floors and headquarters after people leave, on a written route, with a porter added only if the day actually needs one. The usual failure is a crew that brings a house-cleaning habit into a workplace: desks disturbed, a different person every night, and no one who can say whether the 14th-floor kitchen is on tonight's route. Frequency gets agreed in a sales call and then drifts. Scope: - Workstations, meeting rooms, and kitchens - Washrooms every visit, with soap and paper in the contract or drawn from yours - Reception glass and the entrance mat - A day porter only when headcount and washroom count justify a person on site Most offices land on five evenings a week. Smaller suites often do two or three. A headquarters with a busy lunch room sometimes adds a midday porter and keeps the real clean at night. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/corporate-offices/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/corporate-offices/ ### Warehouses & distribution centres Warehouse cleaning so the floor is clear for the next shift. This is the cleaning we want to be hired for. Storage buildings and distribution centres around Pearson, cleaned so forklifts, pickers, and inbound trailers are not working around the cleaners. The regular visit is the floor, the dock, and the washrooms. A janitorial company that mostly does offices will sweep the front office and call the warehouse done. Tire dust, stretch wrap in the pit, and a driver washroom that hasn't been touched by Thursday are the gaps. The other failure is a crew that arrives in the middle of outbound. Scope: - Aisles and staging, scrubbed when the lane can be given up - Dock plates, pits, and the apron inside the door - Washrooms, lunch rooms, and the dispatch office Single-shift buildings usually want a nightly or between-shift clean. A 24-hour distribution centre often needs more than one pass, aimed at the slowest hour rather than a clock time copied from an office. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/warehouses/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/warehouses/ ### Logistics & transportation Cleaning for cross-docks, truck terminals, and driver areas. A cross-dock or a truck terminal is not a warehouse that happens to have more doors. Freight sits for hours, not days. Drivers are in and out. The dirt is diesel film, mud off the yard, and a driver room that turns over all day. Apex scopes these sites on their own, separate from a storage-warehouse contract. Storage-warehouse specs miss the driver washroom, the dispatch counter, and the dock that is never empty. Office specs miss the building entirely. Terminals also have a safety line: the crew needs a place to stand that is not a live lane. Scope: - Dock and cross-dock floors during a gap in the waves - Driver room, washrooms, and dispatch - Entry from the yard, including the mud that comes in with people - Yard-facing glass and the waste area by the door, if it is in the walk Often more than one short visit rather than a single long night. Start dates matter here: a terminal replacing a vendor usually wants the first week overlapped, not a cold start on a Monday peak. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/logistics-transportation/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/logistics-transportation/ ### Manufacturing Factory cleaning on the walkways and in the washrooms. Manufacturing work is the employee areas and the walking surface around production, inside the rules of the plant. Apex does not sell cleanroom claims, and we do not take hazardous process waste. The contract says which bays are in, which are out, and what happens at shift change. A vendor who treats the plant like a big office will mop a walkway during a shift and leave the locker room. A vendor who overreaches will touch equipment they were not asked to touch. Both end the contract. Scope: - Marked aisles and the floor we are cleared to scrub - Locker rooms, washrooms, and the lunch room - Front office and the visitor entrance - Exception notes when a fixture is broken or a bay was live and had to be skipped Tied to the production calendar. Five-day plants usually want evenings. Plants that run Saturday want that said in the schedule, not discovered by an empty dock on Monday. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/manufacturing/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/manufacturing/ ### Property management Lobby, hallway, and common-area cleaning. Property work is the lobby, the corridors, the amenity room, and the washrooms that sit outside any one tenant's lease. Apex writes that list in plain language so a manager can hold the contract against it. Where a portfolio has more than one address, the form asks for that up front. Common-area contracts go vague. 'Lobby and hallways' turns into an argument about stairwells, the garbage room, and whose job the gym is. Multi-site managers also get a different standard in every building if each one was sold separately. Scope: - Lobby, entrance glass, and mats - Corridors and stairwells on a stated rotation - Amenity rooms and shared washrooms - Garbage room kept on the route, not as a favour Daily or five days for a staffed lobby. Smaller buildings often do three days and a heavier Monday. Portfolio pricing is a conversation once we know the addresses, not a discount code. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/property-management/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/property-management/ ### Retail & commercial Store cleaning before the shop opens. Retail cleaning is a before-open job. Floors, glass, fitting rooms, the staff washroom, and the back room. A showroom adds fingerprint glass and a client washroom. A unit in a mall still needs its own scope. The landlord's corridor is a different contract. Night crews that arrive after the manager has gone, with no key procedure, either can't get in or leave the alarm as a morning surprise. Daytime cleaning in a shop with customers is the wrong product unless you have asked for a porter. Scope: - Sales floor and fitting rooms - Entry glass and the first impression from the sidewalk - Staff room and washroom - Back room swept and waste out Typically five or six mornings, done before open. Showrooms with evening events sometimes add a late reset. Multi-store groups should say how many keys and cities are involved. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/retail/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/retail/ ### Healthcare facilities Cleaning for medical clinics and dental offices. Apex cleans the waiting room, washrooms, and staff areas in medical and dental clinics, the same way we clean an office. We do not clean operating rooms, and we do not offer hospital sanitation. A generic office clean misses clinical touch points and treats an operatory like a boardroom. The opposite pitch, a vendor inventing infection-control credentials, is worse. Clinics need the rooms named and the product named. Scope: - Waiting room, reception, and staff kitchen - Exam or treatment rooms to the line you set - Washrooms - Floors and glass Usually nightly after the last patient, five or six days. A busy clinic may add a midday washroom check. We confirm product and any room we should not enter before the first shift. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/healthcare/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/healthcare/ ### Education & hospitality Cleaning for schools, daycares, restaurants, and small hotels. Schools, daycares, restaurants, and small hospitality sites share one constraint: someone is always about to use the room. Apex schedules around that. A daycare is not cleaned like a restaurant, and a restaurant is not cleaned like a classroom. They are separate scopes that happen to live on one page because the buyers often find us the same way. Vendors collapse these into 'nightly commercial' and then miss a kitchen hood area they were never qualified to wash, or they use a school like an office and skip the washrooms that matter most at noon. Saying no to the wrong task is part of the quote. Scope: - Classrooms, halls, and washrooms for schools and daycares, after occupants leave - Dining room, washrooms, and front-of-house for restaurants. Heavy kitchen exhaust and grease traps are not included - Guest-corridor and public-area cleaning for small hotels and inns, not a full housekeeping department Schools and daycares tend to want five afternoons. Restaurants want after close, five to seven nights. Hospitality public areas are daily. Tell us which of the three you are, in the first answer of the form. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/education-hospitality/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/industries/education-hospitality/ ## Pearson corridor Warehouse, terminal, and commercial cleaning for the Pearson airport belt: Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Etobicoke, and Milton. Most distribution work sits from Airport Road and Dixie in Mississauga, through Brampton and Vaughan, to the 427 in Etobicoke and Derry Road in Milton. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/pearson-corridor/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/pearson-corridor/ ## Service areas ### Mississauga Mississauga is the centre of the map for Apex. Pearson's employment lands, Airport Road, Dixie, and the buildings between the 401 and the 407 are distribution, trucking, and the offices that run them. A Mississauga contract is usually a warehouse or a terminal first, and an office upstairs second. Distribution centres, 3PL sites, truck terminals, and the corporate offices on the airport side of the city. Street retail and clinics are quoted too, on their own scope.

The buildings are newer, larger, and often multi-shift. Cleaning has to fit a yard that is still receiving at 10pm, not an office clock copied from downtown. Large distribution buildings, manufacturing, and truck-served industrial units. Office cleaning is here too, usually as the front-of-house attached to a plant.

North and west of the 407, toward the 400 and the CN MacMillan Yard, it is distribution and industry. Around the Metropolitan Centre it is offices, retail, and towers. Apex quotes those as different buildings, because they are. Logistics buildings on the 400/407, manufacturing, and office or retail sites closer to the centre. A portfolio that includes both should say so.

The 427, Dixon, and the industrial streets running south hold cross-docks, smaller warehouses, and commercial buildings that predate the big-box distribution centres further west. Access and parking for a night crew are part of the quote, because these sites are tighter. Cross-docks, multi-unit industrial, and commercial offices. Condo common areas show up here more than they do in Milton. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/etobicoke/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/etobicoke/ ### Milton Milton's Derry Road and 401 corridor is one of the densest runs of new distribution buildings in the region. Floors are large, docks are numerous, and the buildings often run more than one shift. A quote that doesn't ask about shift times will be wrong. Distribution centres first. Some light industrial and the commercial buildings that followed the warehouses. Residential is not why we drive to Milton.

Industrial cleaning still exists, toward the port lands and the remaining shop streets, but it is not the airport-scale warehouse work. Night access, loading docks that are actually car parks, and security desks are the practical details. Corporate floors, professional suites, retail, clinics, restaurants, and landlord common areas. Say which one. The scopes are not interchangeable. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/toronto/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/toronto/ ### North York North York is an office market along Yonge and Sheppard, with clinics and retail at grade, and a band of older industrial buildings toward Downsview and the 401. Apex treats the tower floor and the industrial unit as separate quotes. They don't share a checklist. Corporate and professional offices, medical suites, retail plazas, and smaller industrial buildings off the 401. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/north-york/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/north-york/ ### Scarborough Scarborough still has plants and warehouses along the 401 that the airport corridor doesn't replace. The Golden Mile and the eastern industrial streets are a mix of manufacturing, wholesale, and retail that needs a crew who can tell a shop floor from a store. Offices here are usually attached to those buildings. Manufacturing, wholesale warehouses, retail plazas, and the offices that sit in front of them. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/scarborough/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/scarborough/ ### Markham Markham's demand is offices and commercial buildings around the 404 and 407, more than big-box distribution. Tech and corporate floors, medical and dental suites, and retail. Industrial units exist, particularly near the highway edges, and get an industrial scope rather than an office one with the name swapped. Corporate offices, professional suites, clinics, and retail. Smaller industrial on the highway fringe. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/markham/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/markham/ ### Richmond Hill Richmond Hill is smaller commercial: offices and clinics along Yonge, retail plazas, and some industrial near the highway. It is not a distribution market. Contracts here are usually a single floor or a plaza, five evenings or less, with an honest minimum rather than a warehouse price cut down. Professional offices, dental and medical suites, and retail. The occasional light-industrial unit.

The cleaning demand is mid-size: offices, retail, and light industrial around Burloak and the QEW, plus the occasional plant. Distribution centres of Milton's scale are the exception here, not the rule. Offices, showrooms, retail, and light industrial. Some hospitality and clinic work. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/oakville/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/oakville/ ### Burlington Burlington's QEW and North Service Road hold plants, wholesale buildings, and commercial offices in the same few kilometres. A contract here often mixes a shop floor and a front office. Those are two lines on the scope, so the office isn't cleaned like a factory and the factory isn't mopped like a lobby. Manufacturing, mid-size warehouses, commercial offices, and retail along the main roads. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/burlington/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/burlington/ ### Pickering Pickering is the start of the 401 east of Scarborough. Industrial and warehouse units are smaller than the airport belt, mixed with retail and local offices. Worth a contract when the frequency is real. We would rather decline a one-off that sits an hour from the next site than pretend otherwise. Light industrial, smaller warehouses, retail, and offices. Some school and clinic work. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/pickering/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/pickering/ ### Ajax Ajax's 401 frontage has warehouses and commercial buildings that serve Durham more than the airport. The right contract is a recurring schedule a crew can keep, daily or several times a week. A single deep clean with no return visit is a weak reason to put a crew on the 401. Warehouses, light industrial, retail plazas, and small offices. Page: https://apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/ajax/ Page: https://www.apexcleaningservice.ca/service-areas/ajax/ ### Whitby Whitby is the far end of the regular GTA run, where the 412 meets the 401. The buildings that justify the drive are plants and warehouses with a real weekly rhythm, not a small suite that wants a biweekly dust. If the scope is large enough, it belongs on the same contract standard as a Brampton plant. Manufacturing, warehousing, and the commercial buildings around them.

That is the normal arrangement for warehouses, plants, and offices. Tell us when the building is busy and when a crew can actually be on the floor. The schedule is written around that, including early mornings and the gap between shifts. Q: Can you replace the company we have now? A: Yes. Say so on the form. A walkthrough is the useful version of this, because we can see what the current route misses. We don't ask you to dramatise how bad they are. The building is enough. Q: What do you need in order to price a building? A: Facility type, approximate size, washrooms, floors, operating hours, and how often you want cleaning. Address and postal code so we know the crew can reach it. A budget is not required. If the building has several addresses, say that before we guess. Q: Do you cover the airport and the rest of the GTA? A: The core is the Pearson corridor: Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke, Vaughan, and Milton. We also contract across Toronto and the rest of the GTA, out to Burlington, Markham, and Whitby. If a site sits past that, ask. We would rather say no than take a building we will service badly. Q: Do you offer a walkthrough? A: Request one on the proposal form. For a large warehouse, a plant, or a building you want taken over from another company, a walk is more accurate than a form. We confirm a time once we have the address. We don't advertise it as complimentary until that is the standing offer. Q: Is there a minimum term? A: It is written in the agreement, not hidden in a web page. Many facilities start with a defined term and a review after the first month, once the route has been tested against the real building. Q: Do you clean houses? A: Yes, as a secondary service: recurring house cleaning, move-out, condos, and post-renovation. It is quoted separately. It is not the work the company is organised around.
