Twin Cities sites, one accountable partner
Continental delivers janitorial service, floor care, commercial carpet cleaning and broader facility services for companies with locations in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs. The cleaning at each Twin Cities site is handled by local partner crews that work as Continental’s subcontractors. Continental writes the scope, manages the schedule and stays accountable for the results.
The model is designed for operations and property teams with several Twin Cities addresses, such as a skyway-level office downtown, suburban branches along I-494 and a warehouse in the north metro, along with sites in other states. Every one of them reports to the same account manager, and because one company sets the standard at every address, what works at the downtown office carries through to each suburban branch.
Floor care in Minneapolis and St. Paul through a long winter
Twin Cities winters are long and cold, and the salt and sand spread on streets and sidewalks from late fall into spring end up on interior floors. Salt dries to a white crust on vinyl tile, sand scratches the finish, and meltwater pooling at entrances softens the wax and carries residue deeper into the building.
Continental’s floor care calendar for Minnesota sites front-loads protection. Entries get salt-residue cleaning on every nightly visit, resilient floors are burnished often to keep the finish hard, and scrub and recoat restores traffic lanes during the season. Strip and wax is saved for late spring or summer, when floors stay dry long enough for new coats to cure properly. Entry matting is part of the plan too: the more grit it catches in the first few steps, the less reaches the finished floor beyond.
Warehouse and plant concrete is scrubbed by machine, and terrazzo or marble lobbies receive stone cleaning and polishing.
Skyways, suburbs and industrial parks
Both downtowns have enclosed skyway systems, which turn second-floor corridors into busy walkways and put lobbies and skyway-level retail under steady traffic all day. Those corridors carry people from neighboring buildings as well as your own staff, so skyway-level lobby floors often need attention more than once a day. Beyond the downtowns, Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie and Plymouth hold office parks, medical offices and retail along I-494 and I-394, while Eagan and the north metro add distribution and light industrial buildings.
Offices and medical suites receive nightly janitorial services covering restrooms, trash, dusting, kitchens and floors. Bank branches and stores are cleaned after closing. Industrial buildings get offices, break areas, restrooms and floor scrubbing.
Skyway-level storefronts and busy lobbies are a natural place for a day porter who keeps entries, restrooms and walkways clean during the day.
Commercial carpet cleaning in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Months of slush mean carpet near doors, elevators and skyway entrances takes in salt and moisture faster than any other part of the building. Left there, salt draws in more soil and leaves stiff, discolored patches.
Continental’s approach starts with hot water extraction, which rinses salt and embedded soil out of the fiber and runs overnight or on weekends so the carpet is dry by opening. Low-moisture interim cleaning keeps entries and corridors looking consistent between extractions. Spot care treats stains as soon as they appear, and carpet tile in open-plan offices is spot-treated square by square, so a single stain never forces a full room cleaning.
A traffic-based cycle sets the frequency, with an extra extraction scheduled once the snow season ends. More detail is on the commercial carpet cleaning page.
Checklists, inspections and one bill
Each Twin Cities location gets a scope and checklist written by Continental and a schedule set around its hours. Local partner crews carry out the cleaning. Continental’s account manager takes every request and follows it to completion, and quality checks run on a fixed calendar so problems surface early. Adding a new Twin Cities location means a new checklist and a line on the same invoice, with no new vendor to set up.
Every site is billed on one invoice, alongside your locations in other metros. Continental is insured, bonded and carries workers’ compensation, and each client receives a certificate of insurance.

A few useful answers
Common questions
Who does the cleaning at our Minneapolis and St. Paul sites?
Local partner crews in the Twin Cities do the cleaning as Continental’s subcontractors. Continental writes each site’s scope, sets the schedule, inspects the work and manages every request.
How do you protect floors during a Minnesota winter?
Entrances get salt-residue cleaning every visit, resilient floors are burnished frequently and recoated when traffic wears the finish thin, and strip and wax waits for late spring.
Can skyway-level retail get cleaning during business hours?
Yes. A day porter keeps entries, restrooms and common walkways clean while the space is open, with nightly janitorial cleaning after close.
How is pricing set for multiple Twin Cities locations?
Each site is priced on its square footage, cleaning frequency, access hours, floor and carpet types and periodic work. You receive a written quote per location and one invoice once the program starts.
