How is church cleaning planned around a congregation's calendar?

A place of worship is busiest when most stores are closed. Weekend worship, evening classes, weddings and funerals and fellowship dinners each use the building at different times and leave different kinds of messes. Cleaning schedules are mapped to the calendar: a full cleaning before the primary service of the week, a reset after services and additional cleaning around holidays and special events.

The sanctuary requires special attention. Pews or chairs, carpet and books in racks gather fingerprints and dust. Older wood and finishes require milder products. Crews will not move or handle sacred articles without your staff's direction.

The remainder of the building serves as a community center. Fellowship halls take spills after each meal, classrooms and nurseries fill with children, and the bathrooms see heavy use on certain days of the week. Michigan winters contribute salt and slush at the entrances, right where people gather before and after services.

A lot of churches use volunteers to clean. But volunteers have limited time. The cleaning company does your routine work and the tough stuff like carpet extraction and floor refinishing so volunteers can focus on everything else your congregation has to offer.

What does a place of worship need from a cleaning company?

  • Ready before every service

    We clean your building after the final event on weekdays and before the main service, every week including holidays.

  • Care in sacred spaces

    Gentle products on aged wood and finishes, and cleaning crews that leave sacred objects as your staff has arranged.

  • Quick resets after events

    Our crews clean up after weddings, funerals and community meals so your next event starts with a clean hall.

  • Clean spaces for children

    Classrooms and nurseries cleaned with your leadership's approved products, with nothing left in reach, just like we clean daycares and schools.

Church cleaning questions

Can you clean right before weekend services?

Yes. Most congregations prefer to have the bulk of cleaning completed after the final activity on weekdays, typically Friday night or Saturday. This way the building feels clean and ready for their services. RCO cleans nights and weekends.

Will your crews move items in the sanctuary?

Only what your staff ask us to. Sacred items and everything at the front of the sanctuary remain in place unless you instruct us to move them, and we clean around those items carefully.

Do you clean synagogues, mosques and temples too?

Yes. We clean houses of worship for all religions. We respect each congregation's traditions within their worship areas. Inform us at the walkthrough of any specifics our crews should be aware of.

How do you price cleaning for a place of worship?

Your quote is based on cleanable square footage and how frequently each area needs to be cleaned. A building used primarily on weekends may not require as many cleanings as an office building of the same size. Your quote would reflect that.

Who should we hire to clean our church in Metro Detroit?

Contract with a cleaning service that schedules around your events and services and handles your sanctuary with respect. RCO Cleaning is locally owned in Southfield and cleans places of worship of all faiths throughout Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties.
