What a day porter does
- Checks and restocks restrooms through the day
- Keeps the lobby, waiting room and entry clean
- Wipes and disinfects door handles and other high-touch surfaces
- Cleans up spills and tracked-in dirt as they happen
- Resets break rooms and conference rooms after use
- Empties trash before it overflows
When a day porter makes sense
Clinics with full waiting rooms, offices with heavy foot traffic, and schools during lunch and pickup all get a lot of use between night cleans. A day porter keeps those areas clean while you're open. The night crew still does the full clean after hours.
Day porter questions
How many hours does a day porter work?
That depends on your building. Some sites need a few hours over lunch and others need a porter all day. We set the hours in the scope of work.
Is a day porter the same as a janitor?
A janitor or night crew does the full clean after hours. A day porter does lighter, ongoing cleaning while the building is open. Many buildings use both.
