Plain-language guides on what cleaning robots cost, how buying, leasing and Robot-as-a-Service compare, which facilities robots suit, and what a commercial janitorial contract should include. Written by the people who quote, deploy and service them.
These pages are written for whoever has to make the call and then defend it: a facility or operations manager, a property manager with several buildings, a school or hospital facilities director, or the owner who signs the contract. Each guide answers one question a buyer actually asks, shows the numbers and where they come from, and says plainly when the answer is "not for your building". We do not publish anything we would not say on a site walk.
Two kinds of question come up. The first is about cleaning robots: what one costs per month, whether to buy or lease, which model fits which floor, and what a deployment involves. The second is about recurring janitorial service: what a scope of work should list, how often floors need stripping and waxing, and how to compare two quotes that are not written the same way. The guides below cover both, and each one links to the page where you can ask for a quote on your own floors.
The monthly figure for a financed Gausium Omnie, what that payment buys, and how it compares with the part-time floor-care hours most buildings staff. The labor side is built from published wage data with the arithmetic shown. A separate section covers the buildings where a robot does not pay off: small floors, cluttered aisles, no quiet window, and carpet-only sites.
Read the guide →The three ways to put a robot on your floor, compared row by row: who owns the machine, what the payment includes, who pays for maintenance and consumables, and what happens at the end of the term. It also walks through the five steps of a deployment, from floor survey to service and reporting, and answers what the monthly payment covers.
Compare the options →The same robot behaves differently in a distribution center, a mall concourse, a campus and a hospital corridor. The industry pages take one facility type each: the surfaces, the hours, the people the robot works around, and the models that fit. The first published guide covers casinos and hospitality, including carpet versus hard floor and what a surveillance team will ask before a robot goes on the floor.
See the industries →What a recurring janitorial contract covers and how we run one: the facility types our crews clean, the services you can combine (nightly janitorial, floor care with strip and wax, carpet extraction, day porter, post-construction cleanup), and the four steps from free walkthrough to documented checklists on every visit. The FAQ answers the cost, frequency and insurance questions.
See janitorial services →Next on the list: what to ask a janitorial company before you sign, strip and wax for vinyl tile floors explained, and a model-by-model guide to the Gausium lineup. If there is a question you want answered first, call 888-675-2807 or use the form on any page. The questions buyers ask us are where these guides come from.
