Janitorial Cleaning Services in Des Moines, IA
Reliable Janitorial Care for Des Moines Businesses
Offices, healthcare facilities, and schools across Des Moines all need the same thing from a janitorial provider: a building that looks the same in February as it did in September. Iowa makes that harder than it sounds.
Winter brings snow, slush, and road salt through every door for five months, and humid summers bring their own load of allergens and moisture. Janitorial cleaning services in Des Moines have to work with both. ServiceMaster Green of Des Moines has served this metro for over 45 years as a locally owned, family-run business.
Daily Cleaning & Trash Removal
Daily service is the baseline everything else depends on. Our team handles trash and recycling removal, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and surface wiping on every scheduled visit, along with breakroom cleanup and entry attention.
Consistency is what makes it worth the cost. Buildings that get steady attention never accumulate the kind of buildup that becomes a project, so daily janitorial cleaning in Des Moines costs less over a year than periodic recovery work does.
High-touch points belong in this scope specifically. Door handles, light switches, and shared equipment carry the most contact and look the least dirty, which is exactly why crews cleaning what appears to need it walk right past them.
Entries carry the heaviest load from November through March, and they need attention proportional to that rather than the same schedule they get in July.
Restroom Sanitation
Restrooms are one of the most visible areas in any commercial building, and they often generate complaints when cleaning or restocking falls behind. On every visit, we clean and disinfect key surfaces, replenish supplies, and focus on the high-touch areas that see the most daily use, including faucet handles, door and stall hardware, dispensers, and flush valves.
Frequency is what resolves restroom complaints. A restroom serviced once in the evening is a different restroom by mid-afternoon in a busy building, which is why higher-traffic facilities add a midday check.
Restocking carries equal weight with the cleaning. Running out of paper towels at three on a Thursday undoes a week of good work for everyone who walks in.
Disinfectants get applied with their full contact time, meaning the surface stays visibly wet for the period the label specifies. A surface wiped dry in five seconds has been cleaned, not disinfected.
Green Cleaning Practices
We were among the first commercial cleaning companies in central Iowa to earn Green Seal certification, and that shapes how we still work today.
Green Seal certification covers product formulation, including limits on volatile organic compounds and reduced use of harsh solvents. In practice that means less chemical odor in an occupied building and products that perform without the residue heavier formulations leave behind.
That matters most in buildings where people spend all day, which is most of the ones we serve. Schools, medical offices, and open-plan workplaces all benefit from cleaning that doesn't announce itself an hour after the crew leaves.
This is our standard service rather than a premium tier. Office cleaning services across Iowa increasingly get asked about green practices during vendor selection, and we can provide product documentation whenever a client needs it.
Flexible Scheduling
We offer daily, weekly, or monthly plans including evenings and weekends, built around when your building is available. Schools, medical offices, and corporate spaces all run on different rhythms.
Crews work efficiently so your space is ready before your day starts, with nothing left for staff to handle before the doors open.
Consistent teams improve results over time. A crew that knows your layout, your access requirements, and your priorities moves faster and misses less than rotating staff learning the building every few weeks.
Why Des Moines Businesses Choose ServiceMaster Green
Forty-five years in one metro means our reputation is the business.
- Over 45 years serving the Des Moines metro, with a track record built on repeat clients
- Among the first Green Seal certified cleaning companies in central Iowa, and still working to that standard
- Locally owned and family-run, with direct knowledge of what Iowa winters do to a building

- A dedicated supervisor on every account, so someone specific is accountable for your building
That last point is worth pressing any vendor on. Almost every commercial janitorial company in Des Moines performs well during the first month. What separates them is whether the same crew and the same standard hold up a year later, and a named supervisor checking the work is how that gets caught before you notice it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a commercial building be professionally cleaned?
Most facilities do well with daily or several-times-weekly service, depending on foot traffic and building type. Restrooms and trash are typically every visit, while detail work like high dusting runs weekly or monthly.

Yes. We were among the first Green Seal certified cleaning companies in central Iowa, and eco-friendly products are part of our standard service rather than an upgrade.
