Commercial Cleaning
Recurring cleaning drifts when nobody has written down what counts as done.
- You get a written task list per area, not a vague promise
- The same standard applies whoever is on shift
- Changes to scope are agreed, not assumed

Keep your facility consistently clean with a clear scope, dependable schedules, and the same expectations met every visit.
✓Written scope
✓Flexible schedules
✓Documented priorities
The Real Problem
Most cleaning contracts fall apart in month three
The first few weeks are always good. Then the crew changes, nobody tells you, and the standard drops. Restrooms run out on a Friday afternoon. The entryway glass stays smeared through a week of client visits. You start noticing things before your cleaner does.
That costs more than the invoice. Your staff work around it, your managers spend time inspecting instead of managing, and visitors form an impression of your business at the front door before anyone shakes their hand. Sick days climb when high-touch surfaces get skipped.
Badger Commercial Cleaning works from a written scope for your building, a schedule that fits how you actually operate, and quality checks that catch the slip before you do. When something is wrong, you call one number and get an answer.
Services
Cleaning built around what keeps going wrong
Each service below exists to solve a specific failure. If none of these match what is bothering you, say so on the walk-through and we will scope to the actual problem.
Janitorial Service
Day-to-day upkeep is where slipping standards show first, usually in restrooms and break rooms.
- Restrooms stocked and checked, not just wiped
- High-touch surfaces covered on every visit
- Cleaning windows that do not interrupt your staff
Floor Care
Wisconsin winters put salt and grit through your entryways for five months a year, and the wrong method wrecks the finish.
- Method matched to the surface, not one machine for everything
- Entry matting and traffic lanes given priority
- Finish maintained instead of stripped and redone late
Deep Cleaning
Routine cleaning cannot reach the buildup that accumulates behind and beneath equipment.
- Detail work routine visits are not scoped to reach
- Scheduled before inspections or busy seasons
- Clear before and after scope so you know what was done
Post Construction Cleaning
Fine drywall dust settles for weeks after the trades leave and keeps reappearing on every surface.
- Staged cleaning so dust is removed, not moved
- Ready for occupancy, inspection or handover
- Coordinated around your contractor's finish dates
Window Cleaning
Streaked glass at reception is the first thing a visitor notices and the last thing anyone gets around to.
- Interior and accessible exterior glass on a set cycle
- Entry doors and reception glass kept presentable
- Frequency matched to traffic and season
Office Cleaning
Shared kitchens and meeting rooms get used by everyone and owned by no one.
- Break rooms and meeting rooms reset daily
- Desks and shared equipment handled consistently
- After-hours options so nobody is cleaning around you
Industrial Cleaning
Warehouse and production floors build grime that standard janitorial equipment cannot lift.
- Equipment suited to heavier soil loads
- Safety and access planned around your operation
- Exterior pressure washing for docks and approaches
Pressure Washing
Building exteriors, entrances and lots collect salt staining, algae and grime that the right pressure removes without damaging the surface.
- Pressure matched to siding, concrete or wood
- Winter salt staining treated at entrances
- Dumpster and dock areas cleaned at the source
Industries
The problems change by building type
A restaurant kitchen and a dental office fail in completely different ways. Scope should reflect that.
Restaurants
Grease migrates well beyond the line, and front-of-house restrooms are judged by every guest. We scope kitchens and customer areas separately, with frequencies that match service volume.
Offices
Nobody complains about a clean office, but everybody notices a stale break room and an under-stocked restroom. Daily details get a defined checklist so they do not depend on who turned up.
Medical Facilities
Waiting rooms and treatment areas have different requirements, and appearance carries weight with patients. We work to your stated protocols and keep documentation of what was cleaned and when.
Retail & Shopping Centers
Entrances, glass and restrooms take constant traffic and shape what customers think of the store. Cleaning is timed around trading hours, not against them.
Schools & Daycares
High-touch surfaces drive absence rates, and access windows are tight around term time. We plan around your calendar and prioritise shared-contact points.
Financial Institutions
Branches are judged on presentation, and cleaning happens around security requirements and cash-handling areas. Access and vetting expectations are agreed in writing up front.
Auto Dealerships
Showroom glass and floors are the product presentation, while service bays generate a different class of soil entirely. Both get scoped, not averaged.
Salons & Spas
The client experience depends on the space reading as spotless, and treatment areas turn over fast between appointments. Cleaning fits between bookings rather than interrupting them.
Fitness Centers & Gyms
Equipment and changing areas are in constant contact with members, and odour is the complaint that spreads fastest. Frequency is matched to peak usage patterns.
Service Areas
Covering Madison and the surrounding communities
We stay inside a radius we can actually service. That is what makes a same-week walk-through and a reliable arrival time possible, rather than a promise that breaks the first time traffic is bad.
- Madison: Offices, clinics, retail and mixed-use buildings across the isthmus, campus area and outlying business parks.
- Sun Prairie: Growing commercial and light industrial space where entryways and break rooms take the heaviest wear.
- Fitchburg: Business parks and production facilities that need floor care built around loading and traffic lanes.
- Middleton: Professional offices where reception areas, conference rooms and interior glass set the first impression.
- Verona: Corporate and medical facilities with defined access windows and consistent presentation requirements.
- Waunakee: Smaller commercial sites and clinics that still expect the same documented standard as a large facility.
How It Works
Five steps that each close off a way this normally fails
1. Facility Walk-Through
We look at your building before quoting, so the price reflects your actual floors, traffic and access rather than a square-foot guess over the phone.
2. Written Cleaning Plan
You get the scope in writing, area by area and task by task. When you ask what is included, there is a document that answers it.
3. Trained Team Assigned
The same team works your building wherever possible, because a crew that knows your site stops missing the things a rotating crew never learns.
4. Quality Checks
We inspect against the written scope on a set cycle, so the drop in standard gets caught by us rather than reported by you.
5. Ongoing Communication
One point of contact who answers. If something is wrong on a Friday afternoon, it does not wait until Monday to be acknowledged.
What Changes
What it looks like once it is working properly
You stop inspecting
Checking the restrooms before a client visit stops being part of your week, because the checks already happened.
Fewer staff complaints
Break rooms and restrooms stop generating the low-level grumbling that lands on a manager's desk every few days.
Better first impressions
Entryways, glass and reception hold up on the days that matter, including the ones you did not know were coming.
Healthier shared spaces
High-touch surfaces are covered on a defined cycle rather than whenever someone remembers, which matters through a Wisconsin winter.
Predictable costs
Pricing is tied to a written scope, so changes are quoted and agreed instead of appearing as line items after the fact.
One accountable contact
Problems go to a person who can resolve them, not into a general inbox that answers in three days.
Why Badger
What we will not do
We will not quote without seeing the building
A price given over the phone is a guess, and guesses get corrected upward later or absorbed by cutting corners on site. We walk the facility first.
We will not leave the scope vague
Everything we clean is written down per area. If a task is not on the list, it was not priced, and we will tell you that before you sign rather than after you complain.
We will not quietly change your crew
Staff turnover is the single most common reason standards fall. We keep teams consistent on a building, and tell you when something has to change.
We will not add surprise fees
Additional work is quoted and approved before it happens. You should never open an invoice and find something you did not agree to.
We will not overreach on coverage
We service Madison and the surrounding communities. If you are outside that, we will say so instead of taking the contract and arriving late.
We will not wait for you to report problems
Quality checks are ours to run. Finding the issue is our job, not yours.
Pricing
Priced on your building, not a rate card
There is no fixed price for commercial cleaning, because a 4,000 square foot clinic cleaned three nights a week has nothing in common with a warehouse cleaned daily. Anyone quoting before seeing your facility is guessing.
After the walk-through you get a written quote tied to a written scope. Four things drive the number.
- Facility size and layout: Total area matters less than how it is broken up. Restrooms, kitchens and stairwells take disproportionate time.
- Cleaning frequency: Daily, several nights a week, or weekly. Higher frequency usually lowers the per-visit cost.
- Traffic level: A busy retail entrance in February needs a different cycle than a quiet professional office.
- Specialized services: Floor care, deep cleaning, window work and post-construction cleaning are scoped and priced separately from routine service.

About Badger
A local cleaning company that answers the phone
Badger Commercial Cleaning is a commercial cleaning company based in Madison, Wisconsin, working with offices, clinics, retail spaces, schools and industrial facilities across Dane County.
We built the business around the complaint we heard most often about cleaning contractors: the standard drops, nobody notices but you, and getting hold of someone to fix it takes days. Written scopes, consistent crews and our own quality checks exist to make those three things not happen.
We would rather turn down work outside our service area than take a contract we cannot deliver properly. That is the whole approach.

Common Questions
Commercial cleaning Madison WI: common questions
What types of buildings do you clean?
We provide commercial cleaning for offices and facilities where a recurring janitorial plan makes sense, including professional offices, mixed-use common areas, and light-facility spaces. During the walk-through we confirm priorities like restrooms, breakrooms, interior glass, and entry floors.
Do you offer after-hours or daytime cleaning?
Yes, we can build a plan for early morning, evening, or daytime service depending on how your space operates. The schedule is set around access, security needs, and the areas you want cleaned while staff are present or after they leave.
What is included in a standard janitorial visit?
A standard visit typically covers trash removal, restroom cleaning, breakroom/kitchenette cleaning, vacuuming, and hard-floor care, plus dusting of reachable surfaces based on your scope. We put the exact task list in writing so there is no confusion from week to week.
Can you handle supply restocking (paper products, soap, liners)?
Yes, restocking can be included if you want it. We clarify whether supplies are provided by you or sourced through the cleaning plan, and we set reorder minimums so you do not run short.
How do you handle quality issues or missed items?
Issues are handled with a documented follow-up and a checklist adjustment so the same miss does not repeat. If something is time-sensitive, we prioritize a quick correction and then review the scope to match how the space is being used.
How do we get a quote for commercial cleaning in Madison?
Quotes start with a walk-through so we can confirm square footage, restroom count, floor types, access times, and any special areas. After that, you receive a written scope and a clear schedule proposal to approve.
