# What is a Day Porter? How Day Porter Cleaning Services Can Help Your Company
December 13, 2018 [Tom Hallissey](https://blog.imperialcleaning.com/blog/author/tom-hallissey) [Commercial](https://blog.imperialcleaning.com/blog/tag/commercial)
A busy commercial building requires a lot of care and attention. It can be tough to keep an office clean in between [professional commercial cleaning](https://imperialcleaning.com/commercial-cleaning-services/) visits. As a result, many corporations today are hiring day porter cleaning services that can handle a multitude of daily maintenance tasks.
## What is a Day Porter? Job Description and Duties
A day porter is someone who provides vital services that help a building run more smoothly. They work alongside you, your employees and your customers to help your building put its best foot forward. A day porter will perform a wide array of tasks, including:
- Light cleaning
- Litter removal
- Emptying trash bins
- Restroom maintenance
However, the exact job duties of your day porter will vary according to the needs of your building.
## What to Expect from Day Porter Cleaning Services Near You
### Lobby Maintenance
A day porter is an extra set of eyes on your building. They are there to recognize and address minor issues that need immediate attention. For example, a porter can mop up a spilled cup of coffee before anyone even notices that it’s there.
### Restroom Sanitation
The bathrooms in a commercial building are constantly in use. Whether it’s paper towels on the floor or something more, a day porter will keep your bathrooms clean and functional during working hours.
### Trash Removal
[Corporate offices accumulate a lot of trash](https://blog.imperialcleaning.com/blog/building-cleaning-services) during the day. If it’s left to sit and wait, it can detract from a building’s overall appearance. Porters will remove trash during the day to prevent it from getting in the way of business.
### General Cleaning
Day porters will also perform general cleaning tasks, like mopping the floors or dusting. They can quickly clean up areas that need immediate attention. These additional cleaning services will help your building sparkle at all times.
### Exterior Maintenance
Porters can also help to beautify outdoor areas of your office building. They can pick up trash in your garden or sweep up areas of your parking lot. This extra set of hands on your team can make a big difference in creating a winning first impression.
Day porter services will make your building run more smoothly. Instead of dust and dirt accumulating in between cleaning appointments, a porter will help you look your best every day.
