The right janitorial partner understands your facility's challenges, such as infection control in healthcare environments, heightened security concerns in government facilities, or diverse cleaning needs in multi-building corporate campuses. They customize their approach to address these requirements while implementing accountability measures that ensure consistent results.

See how SealX integrates these commonly overlooked factors and takes a wholistic approach to your business’s cleaning needs.

Challenge: Maintaining Exterior Appearance in High-Traffic Areas

A large apartment and retail complex, spanning over 300,000 square feet across four properties, was struggling with a deteriorating exterior appearance.
