The Block Bernard represents the new standard for Class A commercial space in downtown Kelowna.

If you are preparing to move your business—whether it's a high-end law firm, a rapidly scaling tech company, or a boutique retail space—you know the building's aesthetic is an integral part of your brand.
Standard, general-purpose cleaning services cannot match the prestige, complex needs, or high-security requirements of a landmark property like the Bernard Block.
Here is what tenants need to consider when selecting a janitorial partner who can protect and maintain this significant investment.
Matching The Block’s High Standard with Precision Cleaning
The architecture of the Bernard Block demands a cleaning protocol built for high-end, modern materials, not basic office cubicles.
1. Maintaining the Modern Aesthetic
Modern commercial buildings feature extensive glass, polished metal, and specialized stone or concrete floors.
These materials require specific knowledge and gentle, non-abrasive cleaning agents to prevent etching, streaking, and long-term damage.
Focus: Flawless glass cleaning in lobbies and executive suites, streak-free polishing of elevator interiors, and maintaining the sharp, high-contrast look of the central common areas.
2. Specialized Protocols for Mixed-Use Tenants
The needs of a ground-floor retail space are vastly different from the needs of a 10th-floor corporate office. Your cleaning service must be flexible enough to handle this mixed-use environment:
Tenant Type | Core Cleaning Focus | Upclean’s Commitment |
Law / Finance | Confidentiality: Security, key control, non-disclosure. | Discreet, background-checked staff trained on sensitive materials. |
Tech / Engineering | Asset Protection: Anti-static protocols, HEPA filtration. | Precision cleaning around expensive servers and plotters. |
Retail / Lobby | High-Traffic: Rapid removal of scuffs and salt, consistent floor maintenance. | Scheduled, preventative deep-cleaning for high-visibility areas. |
Local Expertise for a Landmark Building
A large-scale project requires a partner who understands the building's management protocols and is dedicated to the local Kelowna market.
3. Vetting, Security, and Key Access
In a high-security building like the The Block, trust is non-negotiable.
We ensure:
Staff Vetting: All personnel are fully background-checked, insured, and bonded.
Secure Access: Strict key control protocols are used to comply with the building's security management system.
Discretion: Staff are trained to work silently and efficiently, ensuring zero interference with your firm’s operations or client meetings.
4. Responsiveness in Downtown Kelowna
As a dedicated Kelowna-based commercial service, our local focus means we can respond immediately to issues—a major advantage over large, national firms that service the building from hours away.
We understand the downtown environment and the specific challenges of the Okanagan climate.
