Downtown Fullerton Coffee Shop Cleaning

Downtown Fullerton holds more than 70 historic buildings, many sidewalk cafes and a busy train station. Doctor Clean cleans coffee shops and cafes there, in the SOCO District on Santa Fe Avenue and near Cal State Fullerton. A visit covers the seating, floors, glass, restrooms and back of house floors, and it happens while the cafe is closed.

Thursday Night Market at the Downtown Plaza

The Fullerton Night Market runs on Thursday evenings from spring to early fall at the Downtown Plaza on Wilshire Avenue. Downtown cafes stay busy until the market closes. A visit after closing on Thursday, or very early on Friday, gets the floors, the restrooms and the patio ready. The patio and the sidewalk seating get extra time on that visit.

Commuters at the Fullerton Transportation Center

The Fullerton Transportation Center on Santa Fe Avenue serves more than 350,000 passengers a year on Amtrak, Metrolink and buses. The SOCO District sits right beside it, and long distance trains and Metrolink commuter trains both stop there. A cafe near the station opens early for commuters, so its cleaning has to finish earlier still. We plan SOCO visits for the evening before, which leaves the morning to your baristas.

Shade trees and decorative walkways

The city describes its downtown as a cluster of historic buildings with shade trees, decorative walkways and sidewalk cafes. Shade trees drop leaves, and decorative paving holds grit in its joints. Both end up on cafe floors through the door, along with a little soil from the tree wells. The city counts more than 2,500 public parking spaces downtown, and most visitors walk the last block on that paving. We sweep the cafe's own outdoor seating, shake out the mats and wipe the outdoor tables on every visit.

Two campuses and the school year

Fullerton calls itself the education community, with five universities and colleges. Cafes near Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College follow the school year. They fill with students during the term and quiet down in summer. A cafe there can add visits during the term and drop back in summer. The plan is agreed with you in writing, and it can change when the academic calendar does.

Cleaning profile

For a Fullerton cafe we usually suggest the Standard profile. Cafes near the campuses whose customers ask about plant based products can pick the Green profile. Compare the two and their products on the cleaning profiles page.

Questions about this service

Can you clean my Fullerton cafe after the Thursday Night Market?

Yes, a downtown Fullerton cafe can book a visit for Thursday night after the market, or for early Friday morning. The Night Market runs on Thursdays from spring into early fall at the Downtown Plaza. Floors, restrooms, glass and the patio are cleaned before the next day.

Do you clean coffee shops near the Fullerton train station before commuters arrive?

Yes, we clean a station area coffee shop the evening before. A Fullerton coffee shop in the SOCO District near the Transportation Center opens early, so we schedule its visit after closing. The cafe is then ready for the first train crowd without anyone mopping around your customers.

Can a Fullerton cafe near Cal State Fullerton lower its visits in summer?

Yes, a Fullerton cafe near Cal State Fullerton or Fullerton College can set fewer visits for the summer break. The frequency is set with you, so the plan can follow the school calendar from the first day.

No, ovens, espresso machines and other kitchen equipment in a Fullerton cafe stay with your team, as do hoods and grease traps. We clean the customer area, the floors, the glass, the restrooms and the floors behind the counter.
