Cleaning Services

Protecting People and Places by Elevating Safety, Health and Hygiene

Through a hospitality-driven approach, ISS provides quality solutions for office, production, laboratory, aviation, entertainment and retail environments that set new standards for cleanliness and safety, support employee well-being, deliver extraordinary workplace experiences and help clients meet their productivity, cost and sustainability goals.

Legacy of Care

Promoting Healthy Workplaces

For nearly a century, ISS has been a leader in the cleaning of commercial facilities around the world, elevating hygiene standards and creating spaces where people feel secure, protected, comfortable and productive. In North America, our Pure XP cleaning solution helps clients provide inspiring environments that work, reflect their values and evolve with their needs. Places where the physical space positively influences well-being on many levels. Places where cleaning excellence translates to people who understand they are valued, belong and thrive.

Our experience and scale enables us to set a global standard for what “clean” is — and that standard is Pure XP.

What We Do

Cleaning Solutions Built to Protect, Delivered by People Who Care

We create safe, hygienic spaces that support people and their work across a range of environments worldwide. In North America, we self-perform cleaning services, applying global standards and best practices to continuously improve processes and procedures. Our Placemakers are trained in best-in-industry methods and technology use, and empowered to make decisions that work in chorus with client needs. Health and safety instruction protects them, their clients and the planet. Self-delivery also ensures quality performance, operational efficiency, transparency, reduced risk and flexible resource deployment.

Offices

Through standardized methods, products and technology, ISS introduces next-level hygiene to the 20 most common room types. This consistency — supported by AI, transparency, global best practices and an expansive supply chain — provides hygiene, comfort and productivity.

Manufacturing Plants

ISS’ Pure XP Production ensures areas “outside the yellow line” in industrial, distribution and manufacturing facilities are clean, uphold quality requirements, comply with regulations, certify readiness, support greater production and protect workers through extensive safety protocols.

Laboratories

ISS has experience in both GxP-regulated environments and regulatory and compliance standards. Through a quality management approach, good manufacturing practices and specialized training, we deliver clean, hygienic facilities that support research, innovation and brighter patient futures.

Aviation Facilities and Transports

ISS deploys a hospitality mindset, strict standards and AI-enabled technology to support positive travel experiences. Safe terminals and employee spaces; teams that recognize opportunities to serve; and clean aircraft ready to accept guests help moderate stressful environments.

Powering One Standard of Clean Across The Globe

ISS’ global framework for cleaning is shaped by best practices from cross-sector clients served in 57 countries. It combines a consistent standard for delivery with the flexibility for accommodating local operational and regulatory requirements. Through this approach, we create workplaces that promote well-being, productivity, sustainability, safety and competitive advantage.
