Breakroom & Kitchen Cleaning

Pittsburgh's Premier Commercial Janitorial Service

A clean and well-maintained breakroom or kitchen plays a crucial role in creating a healthier, more enjoyable workplace. These shared spaces are where employees gather, prepare meals, and recharge, making them high-traffic areas that require regular and thorough cleaning. Without proper sanitation, food particles and spills can lead to bacterial growth, unpleasant odors, and even pest infestations, compromising both hygiene and employee well-being.



At Pittsburgh Commercial Janitorial Services, we specialize in comprehensive breakroom and kitchen cleaning solutions designed to uphold the highest hygiene standards. Our trained professionals use commercial-grade disinfectants and specialized equipment to remove grease, eliminate bacteria, and ensure all surfaces meet health and safety regulations. We focus on high-touch areas such as countertops, appliance handles, and tables, which are prone to collecting germs and dirt throughout the day.


Our services go beyond basic cleaning—we deep-clean microwaves, refrigerators, sinks, tables, chairs, floors, and trash disposal areas to maintain a fresh, sanitary environment. By investing in regular professional cleaning, businesses can extend the lifespan of appliances, reduce the risk of illness, and create an inviting space that employees appreciate. A spotless breakroom fosters productivity, boosts morale, and reinforces a culture of cleanliness in the workplace.

Our Approach to Breakroom & Kitchen Cleaning Services

Pittsburgh Commercial Janitorial Services brings professional expertise to every breakroom and kitchen cleaning project. Each space receives customized attention based on its specific needs and usage patterns.

Initial Surface Cleaning

The process begins with clearing all surfaces of crumbs, spills, and other visible debris. Staff thoroughly wipe down countertops, tables, chairs, and appliance exteriors using EPA-approved cleaning solutions tailored to each surface type. Grease and grime are removed from high-use areas like coffee stations and food prep zones to ensure a fresh and inviting space. This step establishes a clean foundation for deeper sanitization.

Deep Sanitization

Specialists apply professional-grade disinfectants to all high-touch areas, including microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, cabinet handles, and door push plates. Special attention is given to sink areas and faucet handles, where bacteria tend to accumulate. Using non-toxic yet highly effective sanitizers, this step eliminates harmful germs and ensures a safe environment for food handling and storage.

Floor Care

The team addresses floor surfaces with specialized cleaning techniques based on material type. Tile and vinyl floors are swept, mopped, and scrubbed with disinfectant solutions to remove spills and buildup. For textured surfaces, a deeper scrubbing method is used to lift dirt from grout lines and hard-to-reach areas. Anti-slip treatments can also be applied to enhance safety and prevent workplace accidents.

Final Detailing

A meticulous final inspection ensures all areas meet sanitation and hygiene standards. This includes organizing breakroom essentials, wiping down chair legs and undersides of tables, restocking paper products, and refilling soap and sanitizer dispensers. Trash bins are emptied, cleaned, and lined with fresh liners to maintain a clean and odor-free space. The process concludes with a final wipe-down of all surfaces to remove streaks and ensure a polished, professional finish.
