Your regular schedule
Regular janitorial, timed around your shows
Most venues book regular janitorial visits before the house opens or after the curtain comes down, so crews are never in the way of a performance. This is how a typical week breaks down.
Built from your season calendar
Add-on for janitorial clients
Event cleaning when you need it
Venues on a regular janitorial contract can add event cleaning for galas, festivals, opening nights and touring shows: a cleaner on site to reset washrooms at intermission, plus pre-event prep and post-event cleanup. Book it through your account manager.

FAQ
Performing arts centre cleaning questions
Can you clean around our rehearsal and performance schedule?
Yes. Picture Perfect Cleaning builds each venue’s plan from its season calendar: front-of-house cleaning before doors and after curtain down, backstage cleaning before the first call, and deep cleans on dark days. Regular janitorial clients can add event cleaning, including intermission washroom resets.
What areas of the venue do you clean?
Picture Perfect Cleaning cleans lobbies, box offices, bars and concessions, washrooms, house seating, dressing rooms, green rooms, backstage corridors, rehearsal halls and technical spaces, including careful dusting of lighting rigs and AV equipment.
Do you use quiet cleaning equipment?
Yes. Crews use low-noise vacuums and floor equipment, so they can work near rehearsals and offices without disrupting them.
Are your products safe for historic or delicate interiors?
Yes. We use eco-certified products and test them on wood, plaster and fabric finishes before using them across the venue.
Are your staff trained for backstage and dressing room protocols?
Yes. Crews get site-specific training: they work around call times, stay out of the way of performers, and never move props, costumes or set pieces.
Can you clean washrooms during intermission?
Yes, as event cleaning added to a regular janitorial contract. A cleaner stays on site during the performance to reset patron washrooms at intermission and handle spills in the lobby.
Can you add service for festivals and busy seasons?
Yes. Existing clients can add pre-event prep, post-event cleanup, festival and touring support, and dark-week deep cleans through their account manager.
Is your team bonded and insured?
Yes. Picture Perfect Cleaning is licensed, bonded and insured, and every staff member is background-checked.
