Commercial Experience

Most cleaning companies grow out of residential work and bolt on commercial accounts. Aurex was built for commercial from day one — restaurants, offices, medical, and multi-tenant facilities.

Vetting & Training

Cleaning quality is a function of vetting, training, and accountability — not who signs the paycheque. Aurex builds programs around a curated partner network: every crew is background-checked, fully insured and bonded, signed onto Aurex standards, and trained to a written site-specific SOP before they ever step on site.
