About DCI Cleaning

Commercial cleaning without the corporate headaches.

Est. 1993

Family Founded & Centered

For more than 30 years, DCI Cleaning has helped businesses and organizations in Sydney, Port Hawkesbury, Antigonish, New Glasgow, and across Cape Breton and Mainland Nova Scotia keep their facilities clean, safe, and ready for the people who use them every day.

We're big enough to handle large facilities and complex cleaning needs, while still being locally owned and operated. That means we know our clients, know our people, and stay close to the work. Our goal isn't simply to clean your building — it's to build a reliable system that works so well, you don't have to think about it.

Reliable service

Our position

Big enough to handle it. Small enough to care.

You shouldn't have to choose between a small cleaning company that can't keep up and a national contractor where nobody knows your name. DCI has built its business in the space between the two...

Too small...
The "Small local operator"

Knows your name, but stretched thin when the schedule grows.

Just right: DCI Cleaning

The scale to deliver. The local oversight to notice the details.

More than 150 cleaning staff and experience serving large commercial and institutional facilities — with the accountability and accessibility of an independently owned, locally operated company.

Too big...
The "National contractor"

Has the scale, but often lacks the hands-on oversight of a local team.

Oversight

We don't wait for you to find the problem.

A cleaning company shouldn't need to be managed by the customer. DCI's supervisors visit our worksites regularly throughout the month—inspecting quality, checking supplies and equipment, and identifying deficiencies before they become something you have to deal with.

Our approach is proactive: we want to see the problem before you do.


That ongoing oversight is one reason we've built relationships with clients who have trusted DCI for 25 and even 30 years.

On every Supervisor Visit

Cleaning quality inspected against the written scope

Supplies and consumables checked and restocked

Equipment condition reviewed and serviced

Deficiencies logged and corrected before you notice

One point of contact kept in the loop

Health & Safety

Safety is everything.

Clean isn't enough. Your facility needs to be serviced safely, responsibly, and professionally — to the requirements of commercial, construction, government, and institutional environments.

HSE Certified

Formal safety certifications and documented processes.

Bonded & Insured

Your facility is in responsible, covered hands.

Annual Safety Inspections

Annual inspections of worksites, equipment, supplies, & materials.

Every Environment

Commercial, construction, government and institutional.

Our Team

People make the difference.

A cleaning company is only as reliable as the people who show up. We invest in our team and work hard to retain good people.

Familiarity builds trust, and experienced staff understand the standards of the facilities they care for.

our story

Built for the long haul.

The formula behind DCI Cleaning is simple — hard work, good people and an unwavering commitment to quality.

1993

Locally founded on a simple idea...

Do good work, take care of people, and build relationships that last.

Growth

From one crew member to 150+ staff

Large commercial and institutional facilities across Cape Breton and mainland Nova Scotia — still independently owned.

25-30 yrs later

We have many clients who've never left!

They stay because we show up, we pay attention, and we do what we said we'd do.

Today

Still the same operation

More than three decades later, that's still how we operate — and the kind of partnership we're still building.

The last cleaning call you'll ever make — starts here.

Whether you're looking for a new janitorial partner or preparing an RFP, we'll make switching simple — and deliver dependable cleaning you can count on for years to come.
