Until recently I had never heard of a “day porter.” When the service was suggested to me, I had no idea what the term meant. I had to google it. I learned that a “day porter” is a cleaning professional who provides service during a business’s operating hours. They are typically responsible for the cleanliness, organization and overall appearance of a commercial workspace. They are employed by shopping centers, office buildings and other commercial operations to perform tasks such as wiping down high-touch surfaces, restocking supplies, emptying trash and managing spills throughout the day. They are tasked with making the space look its best for customers at all times. Their services promote a positive brand image, a professional setting and superior hygiene. They help to prevent hazards that could lead to complaints, accidents or injuries. High traffic areas, including entrances, common spaces, break rooms and restrooms benefit from the attention of a day porter. These professionals address minor maintenance issues from changing light bulbs to stained carpets. Unlike a janitor who tends to work at night, a day porter might interact with customers and staff. Because of this, they need to be professional in appearance and attitude. They need to be polite, friendly and approachable. When my little boutique suddenly gained attention and became a must-see destination for tourists and locals alike, I needed to be more conscientious about appearances throughout the day. I offer everything from coffees, lattes, teas and homemade treats to jewelry, clothing and paintings. Our eclectic mix attracts all types of people who enjoy browsing. They tend to drop crumbs, drip liquids and paw through our displays. I hired Vesta Building Services for the sake of a day porter I could count on to keep the retail environment tidy, clean and presentable.
