Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services, pricing, onboarding, and quality systems for Winnipeg workplaces.

Service & Scheduling

What areas do you serve?

Service area: We focus on Winnipeg, Manitoba workplaces.

Our programs are built for offices, clinics, and managed mixed-use properties—we do not service residential homes.

What types of facilities do you handle right now?

We focus on Winnipeg workplaces—professional offices (1,000–5,000 sq ft), non-acute medical and dental clinics, and managed property common areas. As a locally owned, founder-involved operation, we maintain local routes within Winnipeg to ensure fast response times and consistent service quality. New sites are added only when we can maintain our quality standards and direct founder involvement.

How quickly can service start after signing a contract?

Timeline: Most launches occur within 5–10 business days of approval. That window covers key handoff, onboarding, and creating the site-specific service matrix.

If you have a faster deadline, let us know. We'll review capacity immediately and confirm whether a rush start is realistic without stretching quality controls.

Do you provide cleaning supplies and equipment?

Included: RAXO provides the equipment, tools, and DIN-registered disinfectants needed for nightly janitorial programs.

Consumables: Paper goods, liners, and soap can stay on your purchasing system or be added to your service proposal. Either way, we document who supplies what so there are no surprises.

Can you work around our schedule?

Nightly cleaning is scheduled when traffic is light—usually evenings or very early mornings. If daytime coverage is required, we can coordinate a vetted partner cleaner and confirm availability case-by-case. See referral options.

We confirm access windows, elevator bookings, dock use, and any quiet-hour requirements with your facility or property manager before launch.

Do you handle carpet cleaning or floor stripping?

We provide routine floor maintenance (sweep, vacuum, damp mop) as part of our nightly cleaning service. For specialized floor care—carpet extraction, floor stripping & waxing, or burnishing—we maintain a referral network of trusted local contractors. This allows us to focus on delivering consistent, reliable nightly cleaning while still connecting you with vetted specialists when you need them.

Do you offer one-time or emergency cleaning?

Our core business is recurring nightly janitorial. Limited one-time or emergency support may be available when schedules are open; reach out with details and we'll confirm if we can help or recommend a partner.

Pricing & Contracts

How is pricing determined?

Each proposal is built after a site walkthrough and covers:

  • Square footage, layout, and traffic patterns
  • Service frequency (nightly, 3x/week, blended models)
  • Scope items such as restrooms, routine floor maintenance, interior glass, or disinfection add-ons
  • Access requirements, elevators/docks, and security clearances

The written proposal includes transparent pricing, a scope of work, and a service matrix so procurement teams can see exactly what is included.

Do you require long-term contracts or offer flexibility?

Terms: We typically propose stable recurring agreements so staffing, supervision, and quality systems stay predictable.

Flexibility: Notice periods, cancellation clauses, and any trial phases are spelled out in writing before the start date, so procurement and legal teams know exactly how exit provisions work.

How do I get a quote?

Contact us through the form, email info@raxogroup.ca, or call +1 (204) 202-4048.

Quality, Safety & Staffing

Are you insured and covered by WCB?

Yes. RAXO carries commercial general liability insurance – $2M per occurrence / $5M aggregate, plus crime/fidelity bond coverage. We are WCB registered, and clearance letters are provided upon request. Clients are named as additional insured on our Certificate of Insurance. All documentation is provided during onboarding or whenever your procurement team requests updates.

Screening: Background checks are coordinated for medical clinics and secure offices when required.

How do you handle building access, keys, and alarm codes?

Keys, fobs, and alarm instructions are signed out to named supervisors and logged in our site files. Only assigned cleaning staff have access, and we follow your security protocol for storage, sign-in/out, and alarm resets.

Any change to access instructions is documented so nothing gets lost between shifts.

What happens if something is damaged during cleaning?

Let us know as soon as you notice an issue. We log the incident, investigate what happened, and coordinate repair or replacement through our insured coverage. Follow-up notes are shared in writing so future crews know what changed.

How do you ensure consistent quality over time?

Every site receives a documented scope of work, cleaning checklists, and scheduled inspections. Findings and adjustments are tracked in writing so corrections stick.

If something isn't right, we re-clean, log the fix, and adjust the process so it doesn't repeat. You can learn more about our program on the Quality page.

Are you CIMS or GBAC certified?

We are not currently certified under ISSA CIMS or GBAC. We do design our programs around those frameworks—documented scopes, training, disinfection protocols, and quality audits—so you get the benefits of best-practice systems without overstated claims.

Documentation such as insurance certificates, WCB clearance, and SDS binders can be prepared and provided early in vendor onboarding.
