What is a day porter and does my building need one? A day porter is an on-site cleaning staff member who works during business hours to keep a building presentable while it is occupied. Where a nightly janitorial crew cleans an empty building, a day porter handles what happens in real time: restocking restrooms, wiping down lobby and entrance glass, emptying overflowing trash, responding to spills, tidying break rooms and conference rooms between meetings, and policing exterior entrances.

A building usually benefits from a day porter when it has heavy daytime traffic, a public-facing lobby, multiple tenants, large restrooms that run out of supplies by midday, or a reputation standard that cannot wait until the overnight crew arrives. Medical office buildings, retail centers, schools, banks and corporate headquarters are the most common day porter accounts.

Day porter service can be full-time, part-time, or a few hours around peak traffic. It is typically paired with a nightly janitorial program rather than replacing it.
