We maintain it, day after day, setting a benchmark and an expectation from your customers, and your own staff, too.

Why do America’s retailers choose Slate?
Retail spaces are high foot traffic, long trading environments, with constant touchpoints that demand regular, detailed cleans. At Slate, we provide after-hours retail cleaning services to your high-traffic zones, without ever disrupting your selling flow.
Our retail store cleaning teams handle everything from the day-to-day keeping to the deep cleans between merchandising changes or seasonal promotions. We take care of the details that your customers notice, like spotless mirrors, streak-free windows, fresh-smelling fitting rooms, and checkout areas, and all those places they don’t, like stock rooms, staff locker and lunch spaces, and managers' offices.
For multi-location retailers, the benefits scale easily. Slate’s national network means your stores can operate to the same high standard across every site. And if you expand, we grow with you, setting up a new retail store cleaning service anywhere in the U.S. within just 10 business days.

Can you schedule retail cleaning services after store hours?
Of course, almost all our retail clients operate on after-hours cleaning schedules.
Your dedicated retail cleaning crew can attend well before your staff arrive or your store opens, or late in the evenings, when everyone has left for the day. We can also provide overnight and weekend retail store cleaning and porter services if you need the extra help during the day.
Who are Slate’s retail cleaners and how are they trained?

Our retail cleaning teams are:
- Inducted through our national onboarding program, covering safety, presentation, and retail cleaning procedures
- Trained in-store, to understand your layout, equipment, and brand standards
- Supported by local supervisors and QA managers
