Church Cleaning and Maintenance Services

Every church body is unique. The beliefs within any denomination can vary even within one city. The average age of congregants can be vastly different from one side of the street to the next. Some have a more modern approach with bands and casual dress. Some are more traditional with a piano and maybe a pipe organ while the deacons are dressed to the nines.

Just as each of our churches are different, so are the buildings they meet in. The architecture of yesterday has turned to a more open floor plan with wide hallways and high ceilings. The traditional sanctuary with pews and stained glass, in some cases, has become a “multi-function” gathering place. Small, quaint buildings with 50 people on Sunday mornings was normal years ago. Now, we see enormous structures with 3 services seeing 1500 people on a Sunday morning.

One thing that all of these places have in common is that they all need to be cleaned. A proper cleaning and maintenance plan can save your facility time and money while improving the health and safety of your members.

Save Time and Money

I am reminded of Benjamin Franklin saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Genesis 2:15 says, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”

We are called to be good stewards of all that we are charged with. This includes our church facilities.

Scheduled cleaning of bathrooms, windows, and flooring can prolong the life of all of these materials. This can save thousands of dollars verses replacing them. Having a member of the cleaning staff visit areas of the building that are not being used frequently can make you aware of leaks or electrical shortages which can allow you to react quickly, also saving time and money.

Improved Health and Safety

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”

Alright… I know this isn’t from the Bible. But, maybe it should be.

Covid-19 has made most of us a little more aware of the quality of cleaning in a facility. We now know that there are dangerous microbes that we cannot see or smell. Regular disinfection cleaning of common touch points including doors, light switch plates, counters, and restrooms can reduce the spread of all germs.

Consider Hiring A Professional Cleaning Company

Hiring a pro could be the answer, if your church doesn’t have a staff member taking care of your cleaning needs. Here are some benefits to hiring a cleaning contractor:

1. They usually provide all of the cleaning chemicals supplies and equipment. This can trim costs substantially. Much of the equipment to maintain floors can cost thousands of dollars. This should also include mops, buckets, cleaning cloths, etc. The contracted company can usually even take care of their laundry.
2. They should provide their own liability and Workers Compensation insurance. This would also exclude your facility from any risk from an injured employee or property damage.
3. They should be able to develop a customized plan for your facility based on your specific traffic and property needs. Many even offer day porter services if you require services during the business day.
4. They typically have multiple employees to handle the workload. Most janitorial companies have technicians specifically trained to do those specialty tasks such as floor maintenance. They also have people to fill in if someone is sick or has an emergency, so, the work still gets done on schedule.
