Downtown Santa Ana Cafe Cleaning

On Artwalk nights and festival days, downtown Santa Ana stays busy late, and Doctor Clean schedules cafe cleaning around those dates. We clean coffee shops and cafes on Fourth Street, in the Artists Village and in the historic blocks of downtown. The visit covers the customer area, floors, glass, restrooms and back of house floors, after closing or before opening.

Fourth Street, also called Calle Cuatro

Fourth Street, also called Calle Cuatro, is one of the four districts of downtown. It is lined with cafes and small shops. Each November, Noche de Altares closes Fourth Street between Ross Street and Broadway for the day. A cafe on that stretch can book its visit for that night after the street reopens, or for the next morning. The entry and the restrooms get extra time on that visit.

Artwalk on the first Saturday

The Downtown Santa Ana Artwalk runs on the first Saturday of every month, into the late evening. Most Artists Village studios open to the public only that night. Cafes nearby may see a late crowd, and the floor can show it on Sunday. On the first Sunday the Bowers Museum on North Main Street holds a family festival in its courtyard. A North Main cafe may see a second busy day right after. A Sunday morning visit before opening gets the room clean again.

Buildings from 1913 and 1929

Downtown Santa Ana keeps buildings such as the 1913 Spurgeon Building, the city's first skyscraper, and the 1929 Santora Building. Cafes in older downtown buildings can have original tile or wood that does not like a strong product. We ask about the floor when you request a price and choose products that suit it.

Dust on Santa Ana wind days

The National Weather Service describes the Santa Ana wind as dry, warm and dusty gusts that blow from the inland deserts to the coast. On those days dust settles on patio tables, window sills and light fixtures within hours. During windy weeks a Santa Ana cafe visit spends more of its time on glass, ledges and outdoor tables. Light fixtures, which normally wait for the monthly detail, can be moved forward when the wind has been strong.

Cleaning profile

In most Santa Ana cafes the Standard profile does the job. A cafe in a historic downtown building with original tile or wood may prefer the Green profile. We name each product, so you can check it against your floor. The two are described on the cleaning profiles page.
