## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Quick framing before the names: office cleaning is a local-labor business, so there's no national "best" the way there is for software. What you're really picking is a *tier*, and within the tier the specific local operator or franchise owner matters more than the brand on the invoice.

> 
> **1. ABM Industries** - the default first call. Founded 1909, ~$8B annualized revenue, 20,000+ clients, 350+ offices across the US/UK/Ireland. They self-perform janitorial (under "ABM Janitorial Services" / "American Building Maintenance") rather than subcontracting it out, which is the single biggest quality variable in this industry. Best when you need one accountable contract across multiple sites, union-compliant staffing, and real insurance depth.

> **2. SBM Management, Aramark, Sodexo, or C&W Services** - worth bidding alongside ABM if you want janitorial bundled into integrated facilities management (HV
