Setting the Standard for Multi-Site Facility Cleaning
Appearance shouldn’t be the only factor considered when managing cleaning across hundreds of locations. Inconsistent service leads to failed inspections, poor customer experiences, increased administrative work, and unnecessary operational risk. For many enterprise organizations, working with multiple regional vendors creates inconsistent standards, fragmented reporting, and more time spent managing suppliers than managing facilities.
KBS was built to solve that challenge. We deliver commercial and industrial cleaning services across more than 2 billion square feet throughout North America, helping enterprise organizations maintain consistent service, centralized accountability, and complete visibility across every site. From retail stores and corporate offices to manufacturing plants and distribution centers, our national infrastructure allows us to deliver the same high standards, reporting, and quality assurance across your entire portfolio.
As the nation’s largest privately held facility services provider, we combine national scale with the flexibility to tailor cleaning programs to your operational requirements. The result is a single, trusted partner that helps simplify vendor management while protecting your brand, your facilities, and your customer experience.
Commercial and Industrial Cleaning at National Scale
Enterprise organizations often operate just one type of facility. A single portfolio may include retail stores, corporate offices, distribution centers, and other specialized environments depending on the operation. While each location has different cleaning requirements, they all need to meet the same operational standards for quality, safety, and consistency.
Commercial and industrial cleaning may fall under the same facilities services program, but they require different approaches.
Commercial cleaning focuses on creating safe, clean, and welcoming environments in customer-facing and office spaces through services such as janitorial cleaning, floor care, restroom sanitation, and routine disinfection.
Industrial cleaning supports more demanding environments where production schedules, heavy equipment, hazardous materials, and regulatory requirements require specialized equipment, trained personnel, and carefully managed cleaning procedures.
Managing these services across multiple sites becomes significantly more complex when multiple regional vendors are involved. Different service standards, inconsistent reporting, and separate contracts create unnecessary administrative work while making it harder to maintain a consistent experience across every facility.
KBS simplifies enterprise facility services by delivering commercial and industrial cleaning services through a unified national program. Whether you’re maintaining retail locations, corporate campuses, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or a combination of all four, we develop cleaning programs tailored to each environment while managing them through one service partner, one reporting platform, and one set of performance standards.
The result is a cleaner, safer, and more consistent operation across your entire portfolio, with the visibility and accountability enterprise organizations need to manage facilities at scale.
Our Commercial and Industrial Cleaning Services
Whether you’re managing retail stores, corporate offices, manufacturing facilities, or distribution centers, KBS delivers integrated cleaning programs tailored to every environment. Our services are designed to maintain consistent standards across your portfolio while adapting to the unique operational needs of each facility.
Janitorial Services and Day Porter Programs
Daily contract cleaning forms the foundation of every successful facility maintenance program. We provide routine janitorial services including restroom sanitation, trash removal, common area cleaning, and surface disinfection to maintain safe, welcoming environments for employees and customers.
For facilities that require continuous attention throughout the day, our porter and day matron services keep high-traffic lobbies, food courts, entrances, and shared spaces clean during operating hours, not just overnight.
Floor Care
Flooring is one of the first things customers and employees notice, and one of the biggest contributors to long-term maintenance costs. Our floor care programs include carpet extraction, upholstery cleaning, VCT stripping and waxing, and hard surface maintenance, with service frequencies tailored to each location's traffic levels and operational demands.
Deep Cleaning and Sanitation
Beyond routine cleaning, we provide periodic deep-cleaning services to help maintain healthier facilities and extend the lifespan of your assets. Services include high-touch surface disinfection using EPA-approved products, HVAC vent cleaning, light fixture cleaning, restroom cleaning, and post-construction cleanup following renovations or new facility builds.
Exterior Services
Maintaining a professional appearance extends beyond the building interior. KBS provides snow and ice removal, commercial landscaping, parking lot sweeping, and exterior window cleaning as part of an integrated facility services program. This eliminates the need to coordinate additional specialty vendors while helping every location present a consistent brand image.
Facility Operations Support
Large facilities require more than routine cleaning. We support day-to-day operations through services that help maintain safe, efficient working environments, including corrugate and pallet management, facility health and safety audits, spill containment area management, and cleaning schedules designed around production demands. For manufacturing and distribution facilities operating around the clock, we coordinate cleaning activities between shifts to minimize disruption while maintaining compliance.
Specialty Industrial Cleaning Services
Industrial environments require specialized equipment, trained personnel, and strict safety procedures. Our teams use high-powered pressure washers, industrial-grade vacuum systems, ride-on floor scrubbers, robotic scrubbers, and aerial lift platforms to clean environments that standard janitorial services cannot support.
We also provide high-level dusting for facilities with elevated ceilings, warehouse cleaning, and services requiring hazardous material awareness, lockout/tagout procedures, PPE compliance, and other industry-specific safety protocols.
Compliance, Safety, and Quality Assurance
Enterprise cleaning programs need measurable standards, documented processes, and complete visibility into service delivery.
Technology-Driven Quality
Promises about quality mean nothing without verification. That’s why we built a technology platform that provides clear visibility into what’s actually happening across your locations.
Our client portal, powered by KBSForce, provides attendance verification data so you know that crews were actively working on your site. Quality assurance audits are conducted on a regular schedule, with results visible in the portal. When an issue surfaces at a location, you don’t have to wait for a monthly report to find out. Instead, you see it in real time.
This transparency changes the dynamic between provider and client. Instead of reactive phone calls and complaint-driven management, your facilities team can monitor performance proactively and focus their energy on strategic priorities rather than chasing cleaning deficiencies.
Built Around Compliance
Health and safety compliance is non-negotiable in every facility we service. Our crews are highly trained with programs that cover both technical skills and the specific requirements of your industry. A crew working in a healthcare environment receives different training than one assigned to a logistics facility, and we don’t treat training as a one-time event; it’s continuous and documented.
Our training programs cover bloodborne pathogen protocols, chemical handling, slip-and-fall prevention, and the specific OSHA standards applicable to each facility type. We maintain documentation that supports your compliance requirements and is available during regulatory inspections.
For clients in healthcare and food service, where safety standards are highest, we align our programs with the specific regulatory frameworks governing those environments. The protocols are documented, the products are approved, and the training records are accessible.
Sustainable Cleaning Practices
We use green cleaning products and sustainable methods across our programs wherever possible. The products we select are chosen based on efficacy, safety for building occupants, and environmental impact. EPA-registered disinfectants, low-VOC cleaning solutions, and microfiber systems that reduce chemical and water usage are standard in our operations.
Sustainability also means reducing waste in our own operations. Concentrated chemical systems reduce packaging, equipment maintenance schedules extend asset life, and route optimization for mobile crews reduces fuel consumption, helping reduce environmental impact while maintaining cleaning performance.
