Cleaning

Cleaning services at SW Seattle Specialty Clinic are provided on a contract basis. Cleaning services in common areas are provided after normal operating hours Monday through Friday, with the exception of observed building holidays. Every attempt is made to ensure quality service. If a task has been overlooked, please contact the Management Office so we may correct the problem. Special cleaning requests such as carpet stain removal or waxing of tile floors should be scheduled in advance through the Management Office.

Boxes, furniture, and other disposal items are not to be left in the common area hallways for pick up. The common area hallways must remain clear in the event of an emergency evacuation of the building. Tenants are responsible for making outside arrangements for the removal and proper disposal of furniture, appliances, and electronic office equipment. 

Coffee grounds should be placed in trashcans and never washed down any part of the building plumbing system. To help eliminate unnecessary carpet stains due to leaking trash bags, containers with liquids should be emptied prior to disposal. 

Tenants are responsible for the proper collection, disposal, and removal of regulated medical “red bag” waste and Sharps containers. Tenants are responsible for providing red bags and Sharps containers in tenant spaces, and contracting for medical waste disposal directly with a medical waste disposal service. Cleaning personnel are not responsible for handling medical waste in tenant spaces. The disposal of any medical waste in building trash is strictly prohibited.

Trashcan liners, toilet tissue, paper towels, and soap in common area restrooms are stocked by the cleaning service provider.
