If you operate a janitorial or commercial cleaning company, securing a Janitorial Cleaning Service Bond is often a requirement to work with certain clients—especially those in government, healthcare, finance, or other highly regulated industries. At Blaikie Group, we understand the importance of protecting your business reputation while meeting compliance and client contract requirements. As one of the nation’s largest surety bond producers, we specialize in delivering fast approvals, low rates, and exceptional customer service tailored to your industry.

What Is a Janitorial Cleaning Service Bond?

A Janitorial Cleaning Service Bond—sometimes referred to as a Business Service Bond or Housekeeping Bond—is a type of surety bond that protects your clients from financial loss due to theft or dishonest acts committed by your employees while on the job. Unlike general liability insurance, which covers damage to property or bodily injury, this bond specifically provides peace of mind to clients who are allowing your staff access to their premises, records, and valuables.

This bond is not designed to protect your business; rather, it is designed to reassure your clients. If one of your employees is found guilty of theft or fraudulent activity, and your client suffers a financial loss as a result, the bond provides compensation to the client. You, as the business owner, are ultimately responsible for repaying any claims paid out by the surety company.

Who Needs a Janitorial Cleaning Bond?

If your company or employees perform any type of cleaning service in commercial, industrial, or residential properties, especially when unsupervised or after hours, this bond may be required by:

• Municipal, state, or federal contracts
• Property management companies
• Hospitals, medical offices, or financial institutions
• Corporate offices or high-value residential homes

Even if it’s not legally mandated, many cleaning companies choose to obtain this bond voluntarily to gain a competitive advantage and build trust with new clients.

How the Janitorial Bond Works

A Janitorial Cleaning Service Bond functions as a three-party agreement:

• Principal: Your cleaning company, which is responsible for obtaining the bond
• Obligee: Your client, who is protected by the bond
• Surety: The bonding company (like Blaikie Group), which issues the bond and guarantees payment in the event of a claim

If a loss occurs due to employee dishonesty and the claim is proven valid, the surety pays the obligee for the amount of the claim—up to the full bond limit. You must then reimburse the surety for the paid amount.
