Commercial Cleaning Services in SODO
SODO — South of Downtown — is Seattle’s industrial backbone. Warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and the growing number of breweries and maker spaces that have moved into converted industrial buildings. The cleaning needs here are different from a retail corridor, but the standards don’t have to be lower.
Seattle Surface Cleaners provides janitorial, pressure washing, graffiti removal, and day porter services to SODO’s commercial and industrial properties. Whether you’re running a warehouse on 1st Avenue S or managing a creative office space in a converted industrial building near the stadiums, we deliver professional results.
Our Services in SODO
Janitorial Services
Our janitorial teams provide scheduled cleaning for SODO’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 SODO 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 SODO 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: SODO
SODO runs roughly from S Royal Brougham Way south to S Spokane Street, between the waterfront and I-5. It’s anchored by T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field to the north, with the industrial and warehouse district spreading south.
1st Avenue S is the main commercial artery. You’ll find a mix of distribution facilities, auto shops, breweries like Georgetown Brewing (technically just across the line), and an increasing number of creative businesses occupying renovated warehouse space. The area around 4th Avenue S includes larger warehouse and logistics operations.
Industrial properties here face specific challenges: loading dock areas that accumulate debris, parking lots that need regular sweeping, and building exteriors exposed to diesel exhaust and road grime. Graffiti is common on warehouse walls and infrastructure, especially along the railroad corridors.
The area around the stadiums has different needs — event-day cleanup, high foot traffic on game days, and the constant need to maintain appearances for the restaurants and bars along Occidental Avenue S.
