What’s the Difference Between Janitorial and Commercial Cleaning?
Montoya Solutions
When maintaining a clean and healthy space, businesses often confuse two essential services: janitorial and commercial cleaning. While both are crucial to keeping your environment professional and hygienic, they serve different purposes and offer various service levels.
At Montoya Solutions LLC, we proudly provide janitorial and commercial cleaning services across Maryland. Understanding the difference will help you choose precisely what your business needs and avoid paying for services you don’t need.
Janitorial Cleaning: The Everyday Maintenance

Standard janitorial services include:
Sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming floors

Taking out trash and recycling\
Refilling soap, paper towels, and toilet paper
Dusting surfaces and cleaning high-touch areas

Commercial Cleaning: Deep, Specialized Solutions
Commercial cleaning is more specialized and often includes deep cleaning tasks performed less frequently, but more thoroughly.
Standard commercial services include:
Carpet and upholstery cleaning
Floor stripping, waxing, and buffing
Post-construction cleaning
Pressure washing
Deep sanitation and disinfection (especially after outbreaks)
Window and vent cleaning
