Twin Cities Industrial Cleaning is an independent publication about the mechanics of industrial and commercial cleaning — post-construction turnover, facility and plant maintenance, exterior and hardscape washing, and the safety and compliance work that sits underneath all of it. It is written for the people who actually run these jobs: operations managers, crew leads, and the property and construction teams who hand a site over to a cleaning crew.
What we cover
Most of what we publish falls into a few areas: how a surface or a system actually behaves once you start cleaning it, how to read a site before you commit a chemical or a pressure washer to it, what a competent crew does differently, and what that work reasonably costs. The material is drawn from people who do the work — crew leads, facilities consultants, and operators who have already made the mistakes described.
What we are not
We are not a cleaning company and we do not take jobs. We do not run a directory, we do not take payment for placement, and nothing here is a quotation or an offer of service. Where an article names a category of trade — masonry, HVAC, concrete, remodeling — that is a description of who normally does that adjacent work, not a referral.
We also do not give engineering, safety-code, or environmental-compliance rulings. Where an article discusses OSHA, EPA, or local discharge rules, it describes the general position and points at the kind of authority that can give a determination for a specific site. Rules vary by jurisdiction and change over time.
How articles are written
Each piece is written in the first person by someone with direct experience of the work described. Costs and specs are stated as defensible ranges drawn from recent field practice, not as guarantees; they will be wrong for any specific job, and they are given so a reader can tell whether a number is in the right range.
We name no individuals, firms, or credentials. That is deliberate: the point of the site is the reasoning, not an endorsement.
