Our Comprehensive Event Cleaning Checklist
Our event cleaning service in Chicago is executed in three distinct phases to ensure a flawless environment from setup to breakdown. For Pre-Event Setup & Deep Clean, we perform a detailed deep clean of all guest areas, sanitize restrooms, and polish floors and glass. Critical focus is placed on creating a pristine first impression in all public spaces. During the During-Event Support phase, our discreet crew maintains restroom cleanliness, manages waste overflow, and addresses spills immediately. The priority here is upholding hygiene and comfort for guests without disruption.
- Post-Event Breakdown & Cleanup: Remove all decorations, signage, and temporary fixtures. Strip and clean all flooring, including carpet extraction for stains. Deep clean and sanitize all restrooms and kitchen areas. Dispose of all event waste and recycling. A critical final step is a comprehensive walkthrough to ensure no trace of the event remains.

A detailed close-out summary is provided after each service phase, noting any access restrictions or exceptions encountered. This systematic documentation creates a clear, accountable chain of custody for the entire post-event process.
We focus on the areas where cleaning consistency fails first under real event pressure, preventing guest complaints and operational slowdowns.
