What is a Day Porter?

A day porter is a cleaning professional who works during business hours to maintain the cleanliness and appearance of commercial properties. They focus on high-traffic areas, addressing spills, restocking supplies, and ensuring a safer and presentable environment for employees and visitors. Essentially, they are the "on-site guardian" of a building's cleanliness during operating hours. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Focus on High-Traffic Areas:

  Day Porters primarily work in common areas like lobbies, restrooms, hallways, courtyards, entrances, gyms, recreation, break rooms …etc

• Real-Time Cleaning:

  They handle immediate cleaning needs, such as spills or overflowing trash, unlike evening janitors who clean after hours. 

• Restocking and Maintenance:

  They replenish essential supplies such as trash liners, paper towels, and hand soap in restrooms and kitchens. Usually keep track on an inventory sheet on a weekly basis.

• Keeping it Presentable:

  Day Porters ensure a consistently clean and inviting environment throughout the day. 

• Customizable Services:

  The specific tasks of a day porter can be tailored to the unique needs of each business. 

• Communication:

  Any seen maintenance needs, suspicious activity, the assigned porter on duty will report it!

• Cleaning Schedule and Cleaning Calendar:

  Usually a custom cleaning program is made! This is a tool/guide for porters to clean a building efficiently and productively. Thay way the time cleaning is used proactively. Every schedule/cleaning calendar is made individually to each location. Example: a Porter may work: Monday - Friday 7:00am - 4:00pm (8 hours w/ a 1 hour non-billed lunch break). Typically 30-40 hours per week depending on the contract.
