From the storefront to the back building
Cannabis businesses come in very different shapes. A storefront dispensary has a sales floor, a check-in desk and customer restrooms that need to look sharp every morning. A cultivation, processing or manufacturing building has production rooms, long runs of sealed concrete and loading docks. Distribution warehouses and testing-lab offices sit somewhere in between, with desks up front and storage or bench space behind.
We clean cannabis facilities across Santa Rosa, from storefronts near downtown and along Santa Rosa Avenue to industrial buildings off Stony Point Road and around the business parks near the county airport. Each space gets its own plan, written around how the business runs, and a business with a storefront and a separate production or storage building can have both covered in one walkthrough and one quote.
Dispensary sales floors and waiting areas
Customers size up a dispensary in the first few seconds, well before they reach the counter. Entry glass and door handles are cleared of fingerprints, mats at the entry are vacuumed, and the check-in desk and waiting area are wiped, dusted and straightened. Display case glass is polished on the outside and along the tops and frames. Locked cases stay closed, and whatever sits inside them stays put.
Sales floors are vacuumed or mopped edge to edge, baseboards and counter fronts are wiped, and every bin is emptied and relined. Customer restrooms get the full treatment, covering toilets, sinks, mirrors, partitions, dispensers and floors, with paper and soap refilled from your stock or ours. The work starts after the last customer leaves and follows the same closing-time rhythm as our retail store cleaning, so the room is ready when your opening shift walks in.
Break rooms, offices and locker areas
Behind the counter, staff rooms see heavy use all day. Break room tables, counters, sinks, microwaves and refrigerator fronts are washed. Manager offices and back desks are dusted and their bins emptied, and locker areas and staff restrooms get scrubbed and restocked. Hard floors are mopped, carpet is vacuumed, and trash and recycling are carried out to the bins your site uses.
Door handles, light switches, time clocks, break room counters and restroom fixtures, the spots hands reach most, can be disinfected on a set schedule, using EPA-registered disinfectants for the label dwell time. Our disinfection and sanitizing service explains how those visits fit around the regular cleaning.
Cultivation, processing and distribution buildings
Production buildings call for a different kind of attention. Sealed concrete in corridors, packaging rooms and warehouse bays is swept and machine scrubbed, dock areas and thresholds get extra passes where outside grit rolls in, and the walk-off mats at each door are cleaned. Office-side tile gets a strip and refinish once it dulls, and worn carpet is extracted, through our floor care work.
Up near the roof, beams, ductwork, overhead lights and racking tops gather a grey film between visits. A periodic high-dusting visit clears it from a lift, scheduled for a quiet window in your week. Distribution space follows the plan we use for industrial and warehouse cleaning, with travel aisles, staging areas and shipping desks kept clear.
Nobody on the crew touches, moves or handles cannabis, plants or finished product. They clean around benches, carts, shelves and storage, leave every item where your team placed it, and stay out of any room you mark as closed to cleaning. Where your SOPs assign a room or surface to the cleaning crew, the work follows your sanitation schedule and the steps you have written for it.
Working inside your access rules
Cannabis buildings run tighter access than most offices, and the cleaning plan is built around that. Before the first visit, we go over your sign-in log, badge or ID checks, escort rules, alarm and key handling, and the rooms that stay closed to the crew. Cleaners sign in and out the way you ask, work openly in camera-covered areas, and wait for an escort wherever one is required.
Crews are background-checked. Santa Rosa Janitorial carries insurance, bonding and workers’ compensation, and a certificate of insurance goes to each client at the start. A supervisor does quality inspections, checking the sales floor, restrooms and back rooms against the task list so small misses get caught early.
Scheduling, pricing and your quote
A storefront is usually cleaned nightly after close. A production or distribution building often pairs evening cleaning of offices and restrooms with a weekly floor scrub and high dusting a few times a year. Early-morning and weekend visits are available when they suit your hours better, and a day porter can keep the sales floor and restrooms fresh through busy retail hours.
Price follows the space and the work: how many square feet, how many visits each week, the count of restrooms, break rooms and production rooms, how much sealed floor needs machine scrubbing, any lift work, and the hours your access rules allow. To get started, request a walkthrough. We tour the storefront and back rooms with your manager, note your access rules and closed areas, and then price it in writing, space by space, with the tasks listed under each.
A few useful answers
Common questions
Do your cleaners handle any cannabis or product during a visit?
Product, plants and packaged goods stay untouched. Crews clean around shelves, benches and carts and leave every item exactly where your staff placed it.
How do your crews fit in with our security and escort procedures?
Your procedures come first. We learn your sign-in, ID or badge checks, escort rules and closed rooms during the walkthrough, and each visit follows them, including in camera-covered areas.
Will the crew come in once our dispensary has closed for the night?
Yes. The sales floor, check-in area, restrooms and back rooms are cleaned after the last customer leaves, so the store is fresh when staff arrive to open.
What information helps you quote a cannabis facility?
Start with your closing time and the rooms you want cleaned, from the sales floor and restrooms to staff rooms and production space. Add the rooms that stay closed to the crew and how sign-in and escorts work, and the walkthrough fills in the rest.
How often should a grow or processing building have its floors scrubbed?
Busy corridors, packaging areas and dock entries usually do well with a weekly machine scrub, while quieter storage rooms can go longer between visits. High dusting from lifts is often booked a few times a year.
