Michigan Address, Toledo Distance
Bedford Township is a Michigan community that lives in Toledo’s orbit. Plenty of the people working in Temperance businesses commute across the line daily, and the commercial corridors along Sterns Road, Lewis Avenue and Secor Road serve a catchment that pays no attention to the border.
That works in your favour when hiring a cleaning contractor. Companies based further north in Michigan are driving past Monroe to reach you. Our Hill Avenue and Sunforest Court offices in Toledo are a short run down Secor or Lewis, which makes Temperance genuinely convenient for us rather than the edge of a route.
Special Touch Commercial Cleaning provides commercial cleaning, janitorial service and floor care for businesses throughout Temperance, Lambertville, Erie and the wider Bedford Township area.

The Kind of Business Temperance Actually Has
Bedford Township’s commercial base is mostly small to mid-size and service-oriented, which shapes what a sensible cleaning scope looks like here.
Medical & dental practices
The single most common building type we are asked about in Bedford Township. Daily restroom service, disinfection of high-touch surfaces, and corridor floors that wear in tracks from cart traffic.
Professional offices
Insurance, legal, accounting and financial offices along Sterns Road and Lewis Avenue. Usually one to three visits a week, sized to headcount and client footfall rather than to a package.
Plaza retail & services
Shops, salons and service businesses in the strip plazas along the main corridors. Entry floors and glass do most of the work on first impressions here.
Schools & childcare
Bedford-area schools and childcare facilities, where corridor and cafeteria floors carry the building’s reputation and summer is the window for restoring them properly.
Churches & halls
Sanctuaries, fellowship halls and multipurpose rooms with event traffic in bursts. Wood and vinyl floors that want periodic restoration more than they want frequent cleaning.
Light industrial & contractors
Shops, contractor yards and small light-industrial buildings with a working half and an office half, both under one scope.

The Salt Line Runs Right Through Bedford Township
Temperance sits far enough north to get a longer treated-road season than the Ohio suburbs a few miles south, and close enough to Lake Erie to catch its share of lake-effect snow. For a commercial floor that is not a trivia point — it is the single biggest thing that will damage it this year.
Rock salt and ice melt arrive on every shoe and cart wheel from roughly November through March. Salt leaves a white haze on finished floors, holds moisture against them, and acts as a fine abrasive that grinds finish away in the entry zones and the traffic lanes leading out of them. By February most buildings around Sterns Road and Lewis Avenue have a visible track worn into what was a good floor in October.
Two things fix it, and neither is expensive. The first is matting — enough of it, and long enough that people cannot cross it in a single stride, because a short mat is decorative rather than functional. The second is timing: a deep scrub and recoat booked for late winter, once the salt damage has peaked but while the finish underneath can still be saved.
Skip that window two years running and the finish wears through to bare tile in the lanes, at which point no amount of wax brings it back and you are buying a full strip instead. It is the most avoidable floor expense we see in Bedford Township.
Temperance, MI Cleaning FAQs
Do you charge extra to cross into Michigan?
No. Temperance is one of the closer places we work — a short run north from our Toledo offices. Distance is a factor in any quote, but at this range it is not a meaningful one, and we give you one number for the whole job rather than adding travel lines afterwards.
Is a small office worth quoting?
Yes. Small professional suites and single-practice buildings are a normal part of our Bedford Township work. We quote by the building rather than working to a minimum square footage, so a two-room office is a legitimate customer.
Can you clean our practice after hours?
Yes, and for most medical and dental offices that is how it should work. Evening or weekend service means we are never working around patients, and any floor work needs the building empty so finish can cure undisturbed between coats.
Which nearby Michigan communities do you serve?
How soon can you start?
Quickly, given the distance. We can normally book a walkthrough within a week, with a written scope and price shortly after that. Both are free and there is no obligation attached.
