Stopgap cleaning is not enough during the day

Public areas get messy fast

Lobbies, restrooms, break rooms, and elevators need policing every hour. Overflowing bins, smudged glass, and tracked-in debris hurt the experience.

Teams lose time on cleanup

Front desk, HR, and facilities leaders should not pause work to chase spills, restock paper, or reset meeting rooms between sessions.

Skyward solves the gap

Our day porters handle real time touch ups, restocking, and quick response cleaning so your space stays presentable and safe without disrupting the workday.

Is day porter service a fit for you

Choose day porters when you need constant upkeep, fast spill response, and stocked restrooms while people are on site.

You're a great fit if…

  • You manage high traffic spaces that must look guest ready at all times
  • You want quick response to spills and restroom rushes
  • You host frequent meetings, trainings, or events that need setup and reset
  • You already have nightly janitorial and need daytime coverage to match

We might not be best if…

  • You only need a one time deep clean or project work
  • Your facility is closed during the day and cleaned after hours only
  • You require hazardous waste handling or specialty trade work
  • You want unstaffed on call service with no set schedule

Multi tenant office

Midday restroom rescue and lobby sweeps reduce complaints

A multi floor facility struggled with midday restroom rushes and lobby clutter. Skyward introduced a timed route with restroom windows after peak traffic and hourly lobby checks. Event rooms were reset between sessions with a simple ticket process for add ons. Within the first month, workday interruptions dropped and the front desk spent less time fielding cleanliness requests.

Day porter service FAQs

How is a day porter different from a janitor
Day porters work during business hours and focus on presentability, touch ups, and quick response. Janitorial teams usually clean after hours and focus on deep cleaning and sanitation. Many facilities use both to cover the full day.
What tasks can a day porter handle
Lobby policing, glass and touchpoint wipe downs, restocking paper and soap, restroom rescue, trash and recycling pull, meeting room resets, and quick spill cleanup. Minor light duty tasks like changing a light bulb or moving a cart can be included by request.
Can you adjust the schedule during busy seasons
Yes. We can shift service windows, add a second porter during peak periods, or extend the route for events. Your supervisor will recommend adjustments based on ticket trends and traffic.
Do you bring supplies and equipment
We provide carts, cloths, and common chemicals aligned with your standards. We can also manage consumables like paper, soap, and liners through a replenishment plan if desired.
