Commercial Janitorial
Keep your business at its best with custom cleaning solutions.
A day porter is an on-site cleaning attendant who works during business hours, keeping lobbies, restrooms, pantries, and common areas clean while people are using them. Blue Chip provides day porter services in Manhattan for office towers, Class A buildings, medical offices, and retail properties, with screened, uniformed porters who become part of how your building runs.
Nightly cleaning resets a building once a day. In Manhattan, that is rarely enough: a Midtown lobby can see thousands of visitors before lunch, and a pantry on a busy tenant floor looks tired by 11 a.m. Our porters close that gap. The service runs through our citywide day porter and superintendent services and pairs with our nightly janitorial services in Manhattan.

Smaller buildings often start with a part-time porter covering the busiest hours, then expand once they see the difference.
Day porter services fit any Manhattan property where the day’s traffic outpaces the nightly clean:

The best day porter service in Manhattan employs its own screened, uniformed porters rather than subcontracting, keeps the same porter on your building, and coordinates the daytime route with the nightly janitorial crew. Blue Chip does all three, with supervisors who check in on site and adjust the route as your building’s needs change.
Often, yes, as long as the coverage matches the traffic. A small building doesn’t need a full-time porter; a part-time porter covering the morning rush and lunch hours keeps lobbies, restrooms, and the pantry presentable at a fraction of full-day cost. We’ll recommend coverage after a walkthrough.
Look for W-2 porters rather than subcontracted labor, a uniform and ID policy, a written daily route, a supervisor who checks the work, and coordination with your night cleaning crew. Ask how the company covers the porter’s sick days and vacations, so your building is never left uncovered.
Most Manhattan porters work during business hours, commonly a morning-to-afternoon shift that covers arrival, lunch, and the afternoon rush. Coverage can be full-day, part-day, weekdays only, or extended for buildings with evening events or weekend traffic.
Cost is driven by the hours of coverage per day, the number of days per week, and how many porters your building needs. Because every building’s traffic is different, we price around your schedule rather than a flat rate. Request a free quote or call (212) 564-0100.
