WHY SHINE
Shine Cleaning is built around facility-specific checklists, trained and coached cleaners, owner inspections, and one accountable point of contact — the operational difference between a cleaning vendor and a cleaning partner you can actually build a schedule around.
What makes a commercial partner better
Most commercial cleaning vendors can clean. The difference that actually shows up six months into a contract is whether the work is managed: a written checklist for your specific facility, a real person doing periodic inspections, a documented plan for coverage when someone calls out, and one accountable contact when something needs to change. That is the gap Shine Cleaning is built to close.
Shine Cleaning is a commercial-first cleaning company — offices, apartment communities and common areas, property management portfolios, industrial offices, municipal buildings, libraries, and daycare facilities are the core of what we do, not an occasional booking alongside residential work. Staffing, scheduling, and continuity are actively managed so your account keeps the same standard week after week — backed by a trained team, not dependent on any one person's availability.
The certification behind that is real and checkable: Shine Cleaning LLC is a New York State Certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise, so commercial, municipal, and institutional buyers can count this work toward their own supplier-diversity goals without trading away reliability to do it. We are also fully insured and family owned and operated — an actual owner is accountable for every account, not a franchise territory or a call center three states away.
Credentials
Certified by New York State as a Women-Owned Business Enterprise — a credential a procurement team can verify, not a self-description.
Coverage in place before we set foot on your property.
Founded and owned by Arica Richter, with Steve and their family working alongside her to serve Shine's customers throughout the Hudson Valley.
How it's managed
Five commitments that decide whether a cleaning account is still dependable six months in — and what each one actually means for your building.
What gets cleaned, how often, and to what standard is written down for your building before we start — so "we thought that was included" never becomes a conversation.
Cleaners are trained to a standard and coached against it, which is what makes the fifth visit look like the first regardless of who is on the schedule that week.
Arica inspects commercial accounts herself and stays reachable directly, with Steve and the team involved day to day, so a problem gets escalated to a decision-maker on the first call rather than a ticket queue.
Someone being unavailable is a staffing problem we solve on our end — continuity is worked out in advance and backed by a trained team, not improvised the morning of.
Commercial facilities get commercial equipment — the difference shows up in restrooms, hard floors, and high-traffic entrances, where consumer-grade tools quietly fall behind.
Capabilities
Floor care, carpet care, window cleaning, apartment turnover, and recurring commercial cleaning — all handled directly by Shine, with the same management standard behind each one.
Recurring cleaning for offices, apartment communities and common areas, industrial offices, municipal buildings, libraries, and daycare facilities — a consistent team you can count on, on a schedule that fits your property.
Pure-water and reverse-osmosis window cleaning with high-modulus carbon fiber water-fed pole systems — streak-free interior and exterior glass for single-story buildings and many multi-story commercial properties.
Move-out to move-in ready, on the timeline your leasing schedule needs — a dedicated turnover service for property managers and apartment communities, not a bolt-on to routine cleaning.
Full-service floor care for commercial properties — routine floor maintenance, scrub-and-recoat, burnishing, and complete strip-and-refinish for resilient flooring.
Routine carpet maintenance and professional deep carpet cleaning for offices, commercial facilities, apartment communities, and common areas.
Verified Google reviews
The Shine Cleaning crew was an absolute delight to work with! They are more than just cleaners — they are true professionals at their craft. They have a cleaning mentality. The employees in our office commented that they had never seen an office kept this clean before.
We love Shine Cleaning. They clean the daycare 2x per week and it is always sparkling when they are done! They are easy to get in touch with and always respond promptly. They have even done some much-needed repairs around the building for me.
