Inland Northwest sites, run as one program
In Spokane, Continental Facilities handles janitorial and facility services, floor care and commercial carpet cleaning for companies with locations across the metro. Local partner crews based in the area do the work to Continental’s written scope, and Continental manages every site on your behalf.
The service is built for organizations whose Spokane sites are part of a larger footprint: retail chains, bank and credit union branches, clinic groups, franchise operators and property managers. A store in Spokane Valley, an office downtown and a clinic on the North Side can all run on one account alongside your locations in other states.
New to bundling these services? Our guide to what facility services are explains what a combined program includes.
For many national portfolios, Spokane sits a long way from the next nearest location, and sites that far out can drift from the standard. Putting them on the same program as your larger metros means they work from the same style of checklist and get the same scheduled quality checks as everywhere else.
What each Spokane building type needs
Spokane’s commercial mix includes downtown offices and the University District, medical offices across the South Hill and North Spokane, retail along Division Street and in Spokane Valley, and warehouses and distribution buildings near the airport, in Airway Heights and along I-90 toward Liberty Lake.
Offices get nightly janitorial services, from restrooms and breakrooms to trash, dust and every floor surface. Retail and branch sites are cleaned after closing so the sales floor is ready by morning. Medical offices get careful cleaning of waiting rooms, exam rooms and high-touch surfaces on a fixed routine, and warehouse offices, restrooms and break areas are cleaned around shifts.
A day porter suits sites with steady daytime traffic, keeping entries clear of snowmelt and restrooms stocked.
Commercial carpet cleaning in Spokane
Spokane carpet sees a hard winter and a dusty summer. Snowmelt and road sand soak into the carpet at entrances in the cold months, and in summer fine dust drifts in on every shoe.
Partner crews use hot water extraction to remove deep soil and low-moisture interim cleaning to keep traffic lanes from going gray between extractions. Spots are dealt with promptly. Each area’s cycle is set by its traffic, so entrances, lobbies and corridors are cleaned most often and quiet rooms least.
A thorough extraction at winter’s end clears out the season’s sand and salt. More on commercial carpet cleaning.
Floor care in Spokane through snow, sand and summer dust
Winter in Spokane brings real snow, and the roads and lots get sand and deicer to match. Both come indoors. Sand scratches the finish at the threshold and deicer leaves a dull film, while the spring thaw adds mud and the dry summer adds dust.
Floor care in Spokane answers each season. Partner crews burnish VCT and other resilient floors to keep the finish hard and glossy, scrub and recoat when wear starts to show, and plan a strip and wax when the finish needs to be rebuilt from the tile up. Clinic corridors and retail aisles with cart traffic are burnished more often than back offices, since they show scuffs first. Warehouse and back-of-house concrete gets machine scrubbing, and stone entries get marble and terrazzo care where buildings have them.
Entrance zones are scrubbed more often in winter, and restorative work is planned for spring, once the sand is swept from the streets. See floor care for the full program.
Accountability for work done by partner crews
Local partner crews in the Spokane area, working as subcontractors, do the cleaning. Continental manages them and is the company you hold to account.
When a branch manager flags a problem, the request goes to Continental, not to a crew foreman you have never met. Continental passes it to the partner crew, confirms it was handled and closes it out with you.
Continental writes each location’s scope and checklist, sets the schedule, takes requests and follows them to completion, checks quality on a set schedule and sends one invoice for all your sites. One account manager handles every Spokane location along with the rest of your portfolio.
To start, send the address, square footage and hours for each Spokane-area site. Continental returns a written scope and a quote for each one. Request a quote, or read about Continental’s nationwide coverage.

Common questions
Who does the cleaning at our Spokane locations?
Partner crews from the Spokane area, subcontracted by Continental, clean each site to a checklist written for it. Continental plans their visits, checks each building on a regular cycle and stays with every request until it is resolved.
How is winter sand handled on our floors?
Entrances and lobbies get extra scrubbing and burnishing through the snow months, walk-off areas are cleaned more often, and scrub and recoat or strip and wax is scheduled for spring.
Can our Spokane sites join our existing multi-state account?
Yes. Spokane locations sit on the same account as your other sites, with one account manager and one invoice.
What goes into the cost of each Spokane site?
Building size, cleaning frequency, the mix of hard floors and carpet, access hours and any day porter or periodic floor and carpet work.
