Commercial Cleaning Services in Chinatown-International District
We’ve been serving the Chinatown-International District since 2018, working with local businesses and organizations to maintain one of Seattle’s most historic and culturally significant neighborhoods. The CID is home to decades of Asian American history, and keeping its commercial streets clean and presentable is about more than maintenance — it’s about respecting the community.
Our work here includes janitorial service, pressure washing, graffiti removal, and litter abatement. We approach every job with an understanding that this neighborhood’s buildings and streetscapes carry cultural weight.
Our Services in Chinatown-International District
Janitorial Services
Our janitorial teams provide scheduled cleaning for Chinatown-International District’s commercial spaces — offices, retail stores, restaurants, and mixed-use buildings. We assign dedicated employees to your account so you see the same familiar faces delivering consistent results. Service includes floor care, restroom sanitation, trash removal, surface wiping, and detailed cleaning of high-touch areas. We build cleaning plans around your hours and your needs.
Janitorial rates start at $60 to $85 per hour, depending on scope, crew size, and equipment.
Pressure Washing
Sidewalks, building fronts, parking areas, loading docks, dumpster pads — every commercial property in Chinatown-International District has surfaces that accumulate grime from foot traffic, vehicle traffic, and weather. Our pressure washing crews restore these surfaces to clean condition using commercial-grade equipment calibrated for each surface type. We handle concrete, brick, stone, and composite materials without causing damage.
Pressure washing runs approximately $1,000 per day, with final pricing based on the scope of work.
Graffiti Removal
Graffiti left in place invites more graffiti. Our removal service operates on a rapid-response basis — the faster a tag comes down, the less likely it is to attract copycats. We work on painted surfaces, bare masonry, metal, glass, and composite materials, matching our removal methods to the substrate so we eliminate the graffiti without damaging your building.
Day Porter Services
For Chinatown-International District properties that need ongoing attention throughout the business day, our day porter service provides a dedicated cleaning professional on-site during your operating hours. Day porters handle lobby maintenance, restroom checks, spill cleanup, trash management, and any other tasks that keep your space looking professional between regular janitorial visits.
Local Knowledge: Chinatown-International District
The Chinatown-International District stretches roughly from 4th Ave S to 12th Ave S, between S Jackson Street and S Dearborn Street. The historic core along S King Street and S Jackson Street features restaurants, herbalist shops, cultural organizations, and community gathering spaces that have served the neighborhood for generations.
Hing Hay Park, at S King Street and Maynard Ave S, is the neighborhood’s public gathering space. The surrounding blocks see heavy pedestrian traffic and need consistent litter patrol and sidewalk cleaning. The ornamental gates, lampposts, and streetscape elements unique to the CID require careful cleaning that preserves their decorative finishes.
The neighborhood faces specific challenges. Its proximity to Pioneer Square and the downtown transit corridor means higher foot traffic and more litter. Graffiti on historic storefronts and cultural buildings needs rapid removal — tags left in place invite more, and the community rightfully expects quick response.
Union Station and King Street Station on the district’s western edge bring commuter traffic. The International District/Chinatown light rail station adds another transit node that generates foot traffic and maintenance needs along Jackson Street.
