Continental’s services around Charleston
Continental provides janitorial and facility services, floor care and commercial carpet cleaning for companies with locations in the Charleston area. Local partner crews working in the Lowcountry clean each site to a scope Continental writes, and Continental manages the program on your behalf.
The service area spans the peninsula and the suburbs that have grown around it: downtown Charleston and the King Street district, Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, James Island, Daniel Island, North Charleston and Summerville, along I-26 and I-526. A company with a store downtown and an office in Summerville gets both on one account.
The program is built for companies that think in portfolios: retail and restaurant groups, regional banks, medical groups with practices in several towns, franchise operators and property managers with offices and retail centers to keep up.
From the peninsula to North Charleston
Charleston’s buildings vary from street to street. Older storefronts and offices fill the peninsula, medical offices and professional buildings line the main routes in Mount Pleasant and West Ashley, and North Charleston adds manufacturing, distribution and the offices that support them. Bank branches and retail centers sit along every major corridor.
Each site’s nightly janitorial cleaning is written for that space. Restrooms, trash, dusting, touch points, breakrooms and floors are covered on a checklist the crew follows every visit, and the scope sets which nights the crew works, from a few nights a week for a small office to every night for a busy store.
Retail stores and busy medical offices can add a day porter who keeps restrooms stocked, entrances dry and lobbies tidy during open hours, which helps most on summer afternoons when a storm sends water into every doorway.
Commercial carpet cleaning in Charleston
Charleston carpet takes in a bit of everything: beach sand from Folly Beach and Isle of Palms, mud from rainy days and the heavy yellow pine pollen of early spring. Commercial carpet cleaning in Charleston sets a cycle by traffic so the busiest lanes are cleaned before the wear shows.
Extraction with heated water flushes out the sand, pollen and soil that vacuuming leaves behind, and it runs on evenings or weekends with air movers to beat the humidity. Low-moisture interim cleaning keeps reception areas and corridors even between extractions and dries quickly. Spot care for spills and tracked-in mud happens on the nightly visit.
Floor care in Charleston
Hard floors in Charleston deal with humidity, frequent rain, flooded streets after high tides and storms, and spring pollen that coats every entrance. Floor care in Charleston starts with walk-off mats and daily dust mopping, then layers a periodic cycle on top so the finish lasts.
For VCT and other resilient floors in stores, clinics and break rooms, that cycle includes burnishing for shine, scrub-and-recoat visits to refresh the finish and a full strip and wax when wear reaches the tile. Concrete floors in North Charleston warehouses and production areas get scheduled machine scrubbing. Historic lobbies and office entries with marble or terrazzo are cleaned and polished to suit the stone.
The work is booked on nights and weekends around each site’s hours and written into the location’s yearly calendar.
Managing a Lowcountry portfolio
A single Continental account manager takes responsibility for every Charleston-area site, and for your locations in other metros too. Requests from your site managers go to that person, who tracks each one until it is resolved.
Continental writes the scope and checklist for each location, sets the schedule, checks quality on a set schedule and runs the account. Local partner crews in the Charleston area do the cleaning to that scope. One invoice covers every site and lists each location, so your finance team reviews one bill each month.
Continental is insured, bonded and carries workers’ compensation, and it supplies a certificate of insurance to every client.

A few useful answers
Common questions
Who does the cleaning at our Charleston locations?
Cleaning crews from Charleston-area partner companies do the work, each following the checklist Continental writes for that location. Continental handles the schedule, quality checks and requests.
How is spring pollen handled in the cleaning plan?
In pollen season, crews clean the entry mats, dust mop and dust ledges and vents near entrances more often, and add interim carpet cleaning in the busiest lanes.
Can cleaning fit around shop hours on the peninsula?
Yes. Crews start after each shop closes and finish floor or carpet work overnight, and each store’s start time is set around its own hours.
What affects the cost of a Charleston program?
Each site’s square footage, cleaning nights, porter hours, floor and carpet types and access hours set the price. Every location is quoted on its own.
