This is the regular, scheduled cleaning of a workplace: emptying trash, wiping and disinfecting surfaces, cleaning restrooms and break rooms, vacuuming and mopping floors, and keeping supplies stocked. Janitorial usually means a recurring service on a set schedule, nightly, a few times a week, or weekly. Facility maintenance can add periodic deep work like floor stripping and waxing, carpet extraction, and high dusting.
Acadiana humidity is the thing that makes commercial cleaning here different from a lot of the country. Damp air keeps floors from drying fast, so a mopped tile floor can stay slick longer and grow mildew in grout and floor drains if it is not dried and ventilated. Entryways take a beating in our rainy stretches and during hurricane season, and the clay and mud people track in from parking lots gets ground into carpet and tile fast. Restrooms, break room corners, and any room with poor airflow are where you will smell mildew first, so those are the spots a good crew watches. Salt and grit near coastal-facing doors and heavy pollen in spring also mean entrance mats and glass need more frequent attention than the calendar alone would suggest.
A small office with one restroom and a break room is well within reach of an owner or a staff member who has time: emptying trash, wiping surfaces, restocking, and running a vacuum are not complicated. Where it usually makes sense to bring in a crew is consistency and the periodic heavy work. Floor stripping and waxing, carpet extraction, high dusting, and proper restroom disinfection need machines, the right chemicals, and someone who knows dwell times and dilution, and getting those wrong can dull floors or leave residue that attracts more dirt. Restrooms in a public-facing business are also a health and liability matter, so those are worth doing right on a set schedule rather than when someone remembers.
Every question is optional. The more you answer the faster somebody can come back with a real number, and the better we can match you to the right person, but a name and a number is enough to get started.
As much detail as you feel like giving, as little as you have to. A photo helps most.

It depends on traffic and what your business does. A quiet office with a few people can often do fine with weekly or twice-weekly service, while a clinic, restaurant, or busy retail space with public restrooms usually needs nightly attention. A good starting point is to match the schedule to how fast your restrooms and entryways get dirty, since those set the pace.
Janitorial is the recurring upkeep: trash, restrooms, surfaces, and floors on a set schedule. A deep clean is periodic heavy work like stripping and waxing floors, extracting carpet, high dusting, and detailed restroom work. Most facilities run regular janitorial and layer in deep cleaning a few times a year.
That varies by company, so ask up front. Some bring all their own chemicals and equipment and bill paper goods and liners separately, others expect you to stock those. Getting it in writing avoids the common surprise of running out of toilet paper on a Monday.
Usually it is the wrong product, too much of it, or not enough rinsing, which leaves a residue that actually attracts dirt. In our humidity, floors that are not dried and ventilated can also haze or grow mildew in the grout. A crew that knows dilution and dry times, and that ventilates the space, prevents most of this.
Yes, most commercial cleaning in Lafayette is done in the evening or overnight after you close. If a crew has access after hours, be clear about keys, alarm codes, and who is accountable for locking up. Many businesses in Broussard, Youngsville, and Scott run this way without ever seeing the crew.
