Who we clean for in Detroit
Detroit has been the office and medical core of the region. Downtown has the towers near Campus Martius and along the riverfront, where General Motors relocated its global headquarters into the new Hudson's Detroit skyscraper in 2026. Up Woodward, Midtown and New Center are home to the Detroit Medical Center, Wayne State University and Henry Ford Health, while Ford has centered its Corktown campus around the restored Michigan Central Station.
The northwest side near our office runs on neighborhood business corridors: Grand River Avenue, McNichols and Schoolcraft roads, and the Avenue of Fashion on Livernois. These areas are lined with storefronts, restaurants, clinics and small offices. That requires two completely different cleaning situations: heavy-traffic lobbies, restrooms and glass inside large multi-tenant buildings, and diligent nightly cleaning inside street-level retail and offices whose front entrances face salted sidewalks all winter long.

Where are Detroit’s business districts?
Downtown and the Financial District
Office complexes near Campus Martius, Woodward Ave and the riverfront. These buildings have active lobbies, multiple elevators and lots of glass. They need nightly janitorial work. They require day porters to maintain lobbies and restrooms during business hours, plus regular hard floor maintenance.
Midtown and New Center
Hospitals, university facilities, laboratories and medical and professional offices that surround them. Exam rooms, waiting rooms and shared bathrooms require scheduled disinfecting.
Corktown and Michigan Central
Historic restorations and new construction around Ford's Michigan Central complex. Commercial spaces that are new or renovated require after-construction cleaning before occupancy, then preventive maintenance of older flooring, tile and tall windows.
Grand River, McNichols and Schoolcraft
The retail strips near the Grandmont Rosedale neighborhoods: shops, eateries, offices and service businesses. Sidewalk-level areas accumulate dirt and road salt, thus entry mats, hard flooring and glass entryways require frequent care.
Livernois and the Avenue of Fashion
Detroit's local boutiques, restaurants and small offices located on Livernois between 7 Mile and 8 Mile. This is the part of Detroit closest to Southfield. Businesses in smaller spaces benefit from a quick nightly touch and a commercial deep clean scheduled on a set calendar.
