The Problem

Maintaining High Standards in High-Traffic Spaces

Gagosian's New York City galleries, particularly those in Chelsea, face unique challenges. These spaces, housing millions of dollars' worth of art, require impeccable cleanliness to maintain their high standards. The facilities director struggled with unreliable cleaning services, which resulted in wasted time tracking down cleaners and ensuring the spaces were presentable. With constant activity, including transportation of artwork, numerous employees, and frequent events, maintaining cleanliness was critical yet challenging. So they decided it was time for change.

The Solution

Trustworthy and Specialized Cleaning Services

Slate stepped in to provide reliable and consistent cleaning services tailored to Gagosian's needs. They assembled a custom cleaning team of ten keepers specifically trained to handle the unique environment of art galleries. The team was knowledgeable in avoiding damage to artwork and maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness. Slate's morning and afternoon crews ensured the galleries remained spotless throughout the day, supporting the gallery staff and curators.
