BUILD THE FACILITY BRIEF
Give every provider the same operating and access starting point.
Business Services · FREE PREPARATION PACK
Commercial janitorial walk-through checklist and service planner
A clear janitorial proposal starts with the facility, its operating schedule, and an agreed task list. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai helps facility contacts map service areas, separate routine and periodic work, record access constraints, and compare providers against the same requested service.

This is a service-planning worksheet, not a sanitation protocol, infection-control plan, chemical-use instruction, workplace safety program, or compliance determination. Ask qualified facility personnel and providers to define site-specific procedures, restricted areas, products, training, and regulated requirements.

How to use this resource
Walk the facility and describe each area by function rather than assuming every room receives the same service. Separate routine tasks from periodic or condition-based work. Give each provider the same operating hours, access rules, supply responsibilities, exclusions, and quality-review expectations, then ask for a written service plan.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.

Questions to ask a commercial janitorial provider
- How will you turn the facility walk-through into an area-by-area task and frequency schedule?
- Which routine, periodic, supply, equipment, and waste-handling responsibilities are included or excluded?
- How are products, safety information, site restrictions, and special surface instructions communicated to the team?
- Who supervises the work, documents completion, and covers absences or staffing changes?
- How should we report a missed task, quality concern, spill, damage concern, or access issue?
- What written terms address service times, changes, access, quality review, cancellation, and responsibilities?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
