Question 1

What is the difference between commercial cleaning and janitorial services?

Accepted Answer

Janitorial services typically cover everyday maintenance like taking out trash, vacuuming, and wiping down visible surfaces. Commercial cleaning involves deeper, specialized cleaning tasks (like carpet extraction, hard floor care, and forensic UV inspection) that are performed regularly but perhaps not daily. Anvil provides both, but our focus is on health-based commercial cleaning.

Question 2

How much does commercial cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Commercial cleaning costs vary based on facility size, frequency, industry risk level, and specific hygiene needs. We don't offer generic flat rates because every building is different. Instead, we perform a Facility Hygiene Assessment to provide a custom, accurate quote based on your exact scope of work.

Question 3

What is a UV inspection and why do you use it?

Accepted Answer

A fluorescent-marker coverage audit places a specialized gel marker on selected surfaces before cleaning, then checks whether the marker was removed afterward. This verifies physical/mechanical cleaning coverage of those designated surfaces. It does not directly prove pathogen removal, bacterial kill, viral kill, sterilization, disinfection efficacy, infection prevention, or infection outcomes.

Question 4

Do you clean medical and dental offices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide healthcare-informed environmental cleaning for medical clinics, dental offices, and wellness centers. Our teams are trained in cross-contamination prevention, color-coded microfiber systems, and documented cleaning protocols.

Question 5

Do you require long-term contracts?

Accepted Answer

We offer flexible service agreements. While most of our clients partner with us on ongoing annual agreements to maintain consistent hygiene standards, we also provide one-time deep cleans and post-construction cleaning without long-term commitments.

Question 6

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve commercial facilities across Washington State, with primary coverage in Central WA (Quincy, Wenatchee, Moses Lake, Ephrata), Columbia Basin, Tri-Cities, Spokane, and the Greater Seattle / Puget Sound / South Sound region.

Question 7

How do you ensure quality control?

Accepted Answer

Our quality control is built into The Anvil Standard. We use digital inspection reporting, regular fluorescent-marker coverage audits, and dedicated account managers who perform random walkthroughs to ensure our cleaning meets our documented facility hygiene standards.

Question 8

Are your employees background checked?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Anvil Facility Hygiene Technician undergoes a thorough background check, comprehensive EVS (Environmental Services) training, and ongoing supervision.
