Commercial CleaningIn Greater Vancouver
Offices, retail units and strata common areas cleaned to a scope agreed in writing — after hours, before them, or on whatever cycle keeps the building presentable.
Our Service
The Same Crew, Every Visit
We walk the building with you first and write the scope down room by room: what happens nightly, what happens weekly, and what is explicitly not ours. Colour-coded cloths keep washroom work off a boardroom table, high-touch points are done every visit rather than saved for a deep clean, and every visit is logged and signed. And the same crew stay on a building: most of a cleaning contract is knowing which door sticks.
What's Included
Lobbies, entrances and elevator cabs
The first forty feet carry most of a building's impression and the most traffic. Entrance glass, door furniture, matting and the grit under it are done every visit; cabs get the floor, the call panel and the stainless. In wet weeks the matting lifts and the floor beneath it is dried, not mopped around.
Corridors, stairwells and amenity rooms
Shared circulation is where a strata building ages fastest. Carpets are vacuumed on a set pattern rather than a wander, hard floors are dust-mopped before they are damp-mopped, and handrails, nosings and baseboards are cleaned rather than stepped past. Amenity rooms are reset too.
Washrooms and consumable restocking
Cleaned with dedicated colour-coded cloths and mop heads that never leave the washroom — the single most important rule in the building. Fixtures, partitions, mirrors and touch points get disinfectant with the dwell time the product asks for. Soap, paper and liners are restocked before they run out.
Hard floors, carpet and entrance matting
Day-to-day floor care and the periodic work that keeps it worth doing: buffing, scrubbing and refinishing on vinyl and tile, hot-water extraction on carpet. Grout lines, edges and corners get their own pass — that is where a ride-on machine leaves a lobby half finished. Matting is lifted and dried under.
Back-of-house, storage and loading areas
The rooms nobody photographs and every inspector opens. Bin rooms, loading bays, service corridors and janitorial closets are swept, washed down and left clear enough to use. Odour in a bin room is a drainage and residue problem, so it gets treated as one — floor drain and bin bases first, then the walls.
Nightly, weekly or monthly scheduling
The cycle is set to the building rather than sold as a package: nightly for an occupied office, weekly or monthly for a small strata. Work happens outside operating hours wherever the site allows, and keys are held under a signed handling agreement. Change the cycle and the scope sheet changes with it, in writing.
Why Choose RainCity?
Property managers and strata councils do not need a cleaner who is enthusiastic. They need one who is there on the nights they said they would be, with a scope on file and paperwork that survives an AGM. That is the business we run: insurance certificates, a signed key-handling agreement and a visit log come as standard, and the contract price holds for its term unless you ask us to change what is in it.

We walk the finished work with you before we leave, and put right anything that isn't up to standard.
Where We Work
This Work, Across Greater Vancouver
Everything comes off the truck — water, pressure, detergent and power — so the kit that reaches a strata lot in Surrey is the one that reaches an acreage in Anmore. Pick your community and the page will tell you what the work looks like there.
Anmore
Large treed lots above Port Moody, where the gutters fill with needles long before the leaves start.
Burnaby
Towers, townhouse complexes and single-family streets — a good deal of our strata common-area work sits here.
Delta
Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta: flat, open and close to the water, which is hard on painted siding.
Langley
The Township and the City both. Bigger lots, longer driveways, and surfaces that take a full season of weather.
New Westminster
Home. Heritage houses on the hill and a steep grid of streets — we know which ones the truck can park on.
Ridge Meadow
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, out where the rain sits longest and a north-facing roof greens over fastest.
Surrey
The largest area we cover, Cloverdale down to South Surrey, and no shortage of commercial ground to keep sealed.
Tri-Cities
Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Hillside subdivisions, and hard surfaces that want the moss off every spring.
Vancouver
Character houses, laneways and mid-rise strata. Access is tight, so the water-fed pole earns its keep.
Often Booked Together
While We Are Already There
These are the jobs that go with this one, and the reason is nearly always the setup: the ladder, the truck or the dried surface is already where it needs to be. Worth knowing before a second visit is booked for something the first one was already set up for.

Common Questions
Questions We Get Asked
The things people actually ask before booking, answered the way we would answer them on the phone. If yours is not here, call — you will get a straight answer from someone who does the work.
Almost always, and for most sites it is the better arrangement. Offices are usually cleaned in the evening after the last person leaves; retail units are done before opening; strata common areas can go either way depending on how residents use them. What matters is that the crew has an uninterrupted run at the building, because cleaning around occupied desks and open tills takes longer and finishes worse.
Under a signed key-handling agreement that names which staff hold what, where it is stored between visits, and what happens if a set is lost. Fobs and codes are issued to the crew assigned to your building rather than shared across the company, and they are returned or deactivated the day a contract ends. If your site prefers a lockbox or a concierge handover instead, that works too — it just needs to be written down.
The regular scope is what keeps the building in the condition it is in: surfaces, floors, washrooms, bins, touch points, on the agreed cycle. Periodic work is what resets it — stripping and refinishing hard floors, extracting carpet, washing interior glass throughout, high dusting above reach. Those are quoted separately and scheduled a few times a year, because paying for them nightly would be paying for something a building does not need nightly.
Yes. We are fully licensed and carry commercial liability insurance, and we will send the certificate directly to a strata council, property manager or building owner on request rather than making you chase it. If your building requires us to be named on any additional documentation before a contract starts, tell us at the walkthrough and it will be dealt with before the first visit.
On the building, not on a square-foot rate card. We walk the site, count what is actually in the scope — floors, washrooms, fixtures, bins, the awkward stairwell nobody mentions — and price the visit and the cycle from that. You get an itemised written quote, and that figure is what appears on the invoice each month. It changes only when you ask for the scope to change.
Tell us and we come back and do it, at no charge, rather than crediting it against the next invoice. The visit log makes that a short conversation: it records what was done and by whom, so it is usually clear straight away whether something was skipped or whether it needs to be added to the scope. If the same thing is being missed repeatedly, the scope is wrong and we will rewrite it with you.
