The Management Office at the Galleria Office Towers is committed to providing first-class janitorial services. As the representative for the Landlord, we have contracted with a service provider for the janitorial services listed below. Please note that these cleaning specifications may be different than those in your lease and are for informational purposes only. While we make every effort to ensure that professional standards are maintained, occasional oversights may occur. If this should happen, please notify the Management Office immediately so we can take appropriate corrective action.

Wastebaskets should contain only trash items that need to be removed by the cleaning personnel. Any trash that is not in wastebaskets but that need to be removed should be clearly marked "TRASH/BASURA." Special arrangements must be made with the Management Office to remove large packing cases or shipment boxes.

Coffee grounds must be placed in plastic bags for disposal. Do not wash or flush down any plumbing facilities. Liquid in cups should not be placed in wastebaskets, as the liners are not waterproof.

Additional cleaning services may be contracted through the Management Office at the tenant's expense. Examples of these services are upholstery-cleaning, removal of oversized boxes, carpet cleaning, etc. Please contact the Management Office for a cost proposal of additional services.
