Vanguard Cleaning Systems is one of the largest commercial cleaning companies in the US with more than 3,000 independently operated franchises. The company was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California. The company does not offer residential cleaning services, but provides their janitorial services to a broad range of commercial customer types such as general offices, schools, churches or retail stores.
How Vanguard Cleaning Systems works
Unlike many residential cleaning companies and in particular the numerous online cleaning platforms, Vanguard Cleaning Systems does not offer an online process for booking a cleaning. The reasons for this is the broad range of businesses’ cleaning requirements. These requirements often depend on the specific business and characteristics of its facilities, which is why office cleaning is less standardized than home cleaning. Therefore, it is difficult to grasp the complexity commercial customer’s need through a simple online booking process.
The first step of scheduling an appointment, however, can be taken on the Vanguard homepage by clicking the button FREE CLEANING QUOTE.

After that, a simple online form appears allowing the customer to enter his or her contact details:
Vanguard Cleaning Systems – Booking Process
After submission of the form, the request is being forwarded to the regional franchise office that is responsible for your area. After that, a representative from the according office will get in touch with you in order to discuss the specific cleaning requirements for your office.

Vanguard Cleaning Systems Prices
As explained above, cleaning needs differ widely from company to company. Therefore, Vanguard provides an individual quote for each customer after evaluating their requirements in detail. The frequency of the cleaning plan is, of course, another key driver for the costs. An individual office cleaning job for a small location starts at 100-150 USD.
Please note, that each Vanguard franchise determines its pricing individually. Therefore, cleaning prices for a similar sized office in two different cities might vary.
Training, Insurance & Keys
Vanguard Cleaning Systems does not provide information on the qualifications or training of its cleaning staff online. However, the company offers resources for the franchise offices’ training. The franchise offices in turn have a strong interest in establishing a lasting relationship with their customers and therefore a strong incentive to deliver high quality office cleaning.
All Vanguard cleaning customers have a dedicated account representative who can be contacted in case of questions or complaints.
It is recommended, that keys for your office are handed to the Vanguard staff, allowing them to access and clean your commercial space outside office hours.
Summary
Vanguard Cleaning Systems is available in most larger cities throughout the US and in major cities in Canada. They offer high-quality commercial cleaning and janitorial services. Their prices are often perceived as relatively high.
Please note that like most commercial cleaning companies, Vanguard Cleaning Systems cannot provide a quote without a prior phone call and/or onsite visitation. Therefore, setting up the cleaning service for your office will require some time.

Sure, booking this cleaning service for our company took much more time than it would booking a service for home cleaning with Handy, for example. But for our company it was worth it. Our offices are always clean, the professionals do their job very well. I was the one who had to organise the cleaning service for our company and I am glad about the choice I made and the quality we get day by day.

Vanguard is a reliable partner. Ever since we have hired them our office spaces look immaculate plus they work very well around our schedule so we often don’t even notice that they are there. We did not have any problems with this company once and will happily continue working with them. 5 stars.

It took a long time to set up a meeting but when we finally managed to do so the team from Vanguard was very professional and clearly knew what they were talking about. We now have a direct representative, Robert who is very competent and friendly. Apart from the slow start I rate this company highly.

We have been using Vanguard cleaning systems for the office building of our San Antonio branch for a few months now. They have been very helpful when it came to switching to greener cleaning solutions and have been doing an excellent job in the building generally. The only negative is the price which is much higher than our previous cleaning provider. But with everything happening with climate change at the moment I feel that it is important to invest in sustainability and why not start with changing cleaning supplies and methods?
