We get this question often. Palmetto Commercial Services has 2 divisions: commercial cleaning services and extreme cleaning services. The commercial cleaning services division offers an entire list of janitorial services to our janitorial customers. However, PCS does not offer 1 time services to non-janitorial customers, such as commercial carpet cleaning or floor stripping and waxing. The extreme cleaning division offers both residential and commercial cleaning services, though most of the jobs tend to be inside of residences. PCS offers hoarding cleanup, junk removal, deep cleaning services (generally, homes that haven't been cleaned properly in 10+ years), roach feces cleaning services, bed bug prep and post cleaning services (many calls are from senior living communities), odor removal services and more.
Palmetto Commercial Services offers 7 day per week janitorial services. However, PCS has a minimum of 1 day per week janitorial services, so frequency must be at least 1 day per week. Cleanings must be performed after the close of business.
Fill out the "Request A Free Quote" form and PCS will be in contact with you. PCS will ask your time frame for getting the job completed, so if PCS isn't available at the time you request, PCS may not provide a bid for the job. Please include all details about the job, or the quote may be delayed until the information is provided.
Extreme cleaning is a generic term used for cleaning that most cleaning services do not offer. Extreme cleaning can refer to a home that hasn't been properly cleaned in 10+ years (most people request a deep cleaning, but a deep cleaning is generally insufficient). Extreme cleaning can also include cleaning an area with an insect infestation. Most cleaning companies will not clean an area if it has live (or dead) roaches, ants, spiders, fleas and/or bed bugs, as they may not have staff willing to clean these areas, wear the proper PPE or may have allergies to the insects. Areas affected by animal and/or human urine or feces can require restoration work, but can also be cleaned at the surface - most cleaning companies do not want to clean these areas. Areas with extreme clutter and/or hoarding is considered extreme, as the clutter and debris need to be properly addressed first before the cleaning can take place. Extreme cleaning can comprise some residential cleaning, some commercial cleaning, some restoration cleaning and some biohazard cleaning (not bloodborne pathogen cleaning, but fecal and urine cleaning).
Generally, if a property has bed bugs and hires a pest control company, the pest control company will provide a bed bug prep list that needs to be completed prior to the extermination. Many times, the occupant can complete the bed bug prep checklist without assistance, but the work will take several hours and the logistics can be tricky (where to you leave 50+ bags of clothes that have been laundered while the property is being heat treated, as the bags will melt on the clothes during the heat treatment). Very few companies offer bed bug prep, as the conditions are tough and many have very quick turn around times. PCS works with the pest control company performing the extermination to ensure the prep lists are completed thoroughly prior to treatment.
The commercial cleaning division serves all of Richland and Lexington County. The extreme cleaning division serves all of South Carolina and some of North Carolina and Georgia. Fees are higher in areas where an overnight stay is required.
