Inside Vernon’s Most Polished Property: A Look at Evergreen’s Cleaning in Action

When someone walks into a building, they don’t notice the directory first; they notice how the place feels.

Is it clean? Does it smell fresh? Does everything look cared for?

Those small details send a powerful message about professionalism and pride.

That’s exactly what Village Green Business Centre in Vernon, BC, wanted to communicate. With multiple tenants, steady foot traffic, and customers coming and going all day, the property needed to look polished and welcoming, always.

So they called Evergreen Building Maintenance.

Our job wasn’t just to clean. It was to make sure every square foot reflected the same professionalism as the businesses inside.

The Village Green Business Centre, home to businesses including a notary public, is surrounded by an empty parking lot and set against a backdrop of a hilly, green landscape beneath a partly cloudy sky.

The Challenge: Keeping a Busy Building Looking Its Best

If you’ve ever managed a multi-tenant property, you know how fast things can go from “spotless” to “needs attention.”

One minute the lobby shines. The next, there’s a trail of wet footprints, fingerprints on the glass, and a trash can that’s a little too full.

That was the daily reality at Village Green. With offices, retail units, and shared restrooms all under one roof, there was always something happening and someone walking through.The challenge wasn’t that the place was messy. It was that it had to stay clean all the time without getting in the way of tenants or their customers.

Village Green Business Centre is a one-story strip mall featuring signs for Vernon Soundsgood, Chelsea Kramer Notary Public, and RE/MAX offices, with an empty parking lot in front beneath a partly cloudy sky.

They needed a team that understood how to handle:

  • High-traffic common areas
  • Mixed-use schedules (offices by day, retail by night)
  • Consistent disinfection and supply restocking
  • Seasonal issues like salt, slush, and dust from the parking lot

Basically, they wanted the building to look “just cleaned”, even on the busiest days.

The Solution: A Custom Cleaning Plan That Worked With the Building’s Rhythm

At Evergreen, we don’t walk in with a mop; we walk in with a plan.

Before we started, we toured the property, talked with management, and mapped out the building’s flow. Where do people enter? When are restrooms busiest? Which areas make the first impression?

From there, we built a custom janitorial program that focused on visibility, consistency, and tenant experience.

Our team handled all shared areas,  lobbies, hallways, elevators, restrooms, and stairwells, on a rotating schedule that kept the place looking fresh from morning to night.

Every cleaner followed Evergreen’s detailed checklist, wiping, dusting, polishing, and inspecting as they went. Nothing was left to chance, even the little things like elevator buttons or handrails got daily attention.

Restrooms can make or break a tenant’s perception of a building. We used colour-coded cloths, pH-neutral cleaners, and Health Canada-approved disinfectants to keep every surface spotless and germ-free.

No “out of order” signs. No empty dispensers. No odours. Just clean, functional washrooms that tenants actually noticed for the right reasons.

If 80% of your building’s dirt comes through the door, you better start there.

We set up proper matting systems to trap debris, then used microfiber mops and auto-scrubbers to keep floors gleaming. Clean floors aren’t just about looks; they reduce slip risks, cut down on dust, and instantly make the space feel more professional.

From elevator buttons to door handles, we hit every spot that people touch daily. Especially through cold and flu season, these quick wipe-downs made a big difference in tenant comfort and health.

Daily cleaning keeps things looking good, but deep cleaning keeps things lasting. Every few months, we handled carpet extractions, window washing, and detailed surface polishing. That helped protect finishes, improve indoor air quality, and extend the life of every surface.

The Results: A Cleaner Space, Happier Tenants, and Less Stress for Management

You don’t have to wait long to see the difference a consistent cleaning plan makes. Within weeks, Village Green started getting compliments instead of complaints.

Visitors walking through the doors noticed right away. The lobby looked bright, floors were polished, glass sparkled and everything felt intentionally maintained. It made a strong first impression before a single word was said.

Tenants appreciated that the space felt cared for. Clean, well-stocked washrooms and tidy common areas showed that management was investing in their comfort,  not cutting corners. It’s a small detail that goes a long way in tenant retention.

By using HEPA-filtered vacuums and green cleaning products, we improved indoor air quality and reduced allergens. Staff and customers noticed the difference,  it felt lighter, fresher, and healthier to be inside.

Because our crews are trained to keep an eye out for issues,  things like small leaks, flickering lights, or floor damage, the property team could fix problems before they became expensive repairs. That alone saved time, stress, and money.

No matter the day, no matter the season, Village Green Business Centre stayed camera-ready. Even during busy periods or bad weather, the building looked and felt professional. That’s the kind of consistency that builds reputation.
