Walk the building
Shared spaces, tenant areas, entrances and restrooms.
Every commercial building has its own rhythm. A retail store, a mixed-use lobby and a professional building each need a different approach.
Astra tailors commercial cleaning to your property: entrances and lobbies, sales floors and showrooms, restrooms, breakrooms, offices and common areas, cleaned on the schedule your business keeps.
Add floor care, carpet cleaning or day porter service for complete coverage.

The same checklist every visit.
A retail store’s priority is the sales floor and the entrance, because that’s what customers see first. A mixed-use building splits attention between shared lobbies and corridors and the tenant spaces above them. A professional building leans toward restrooms, elevators and suites that clients visit throughout the day.
In San Francisco, converted loft offices and street-level retail often share a single block. In San Jose’s mixed-use centers, shoppers and office workers use the same walkways. We write each area into the plan with its own frequency, so a busy entrance never gets treated like a quiet back corridor.
Most of the dirt in a commercial building comes in through the front door. Entrance floors, door glass, push plates and mats take the heaviest wear, and they also shape a visitor’s opinion within seconds. Our plans give entrances attention on every visit, with glass and handles wiped and floors cleaned.
Pair that with scheduled floor care and the hard floors just inside the door keep their finish instead of dulling into a gray path that runs to the counter.
Stores that open mid-morning are easy to clean at dawn. Shops and restaurants that close late often prefer an overnight visit. In shared buildings, common areas are cleaned when foot traffic is lowest, and individual suites follow whatever schedule suits the people who work there.
Weekends are the right time for heavier jobs, such as carpet extraction in a showroom or refinishing a lobby floor, so the work never competes with your customers. Store and restaurant owners can see how we plan cleaning for a single shop or dining room.
Commercial properties are priced by the square foot. For cleaning five times a week, 2026 published market rates put the usual band across our service area at $0.14 to $0.25 monthly, and a busy retail or mixed-use property with constant customer flow sits toward the top of it or above.
A worked example: a two-story mixed-use building in Sacramento with 12,500 square feet of shared lobby, corridors, restrooms and ground-floor retail, cleaned five mornings a week at $0.18, runs $2,250 a month. If the retail tenants want their sales floors cleaned too, that footage joins the total; if the owner only needs shared areas covered three days a week, the figure drops.
Traffic is the biggest variable for commercial space. Entrances, glass doors and push plates that hundreds of customers touch need more time than a quiet office lobby. Sales floors with polished concrete or VCT, restrooms open to the public and the early-morning window before a store opens all add labor, and weekend visits for businesses that stay open seven days cost more than weekday ones. Floor care, carpet cleaning and day porter service are priced separately. We’ll walk the property with you on a free walkthrough and follow up with a written plan and quote.
A storefront sells before anyone walks in. Window fronts, door glass and display ledges are cleaned on the inside every visit, entry mats are vacuumed and the threshold is mopped, so the view from the sidewalk is bright and clear. Outside glass can run on its own schedule through our commercial window cleaning.
Most of the work happens after hours, once the last customer leaves, or at dawn before your staff unlock the doors. Showrooms for furniture, kitchens, flooring or fixtures follow the same rhythm with extra care on every display surface, set out on our showroom cleaning page.
