The IOC Way.

At Industrial 1 Cleaning, we’re hardworking, dependable, and proud of the work we do. We show who we are through our work, and we follow through on every commitment. That’s The IOC Way.

Our mission is simple: take care of the people and places that keep facilities running at their best. Through hard work, clear communication, and a trusted team, we create clean, safe, and reliable environments where our customers — and our team — can thrive.

  • OWN IT

    If it’s ours to do, we do it right.

    We take responsibility for our work, our words, and our results. When something needs to be done, we step up. When something goes wrong, we make it right.

  • KEEP YOUR WORD

    If we say we’ll do it, we do it.

    We follow through on what we say — no excuses, no shortcuts. Our commitments mean something, and we stand behind them.

  • SHOW UP READY

    We prepare to work, not struggle.

    We come prepared — with the right attitude, effort, tools, and equipment. We invest in what makes the job safer, easier, and more efficient for our team.

  • TEAM OVER TITLES

    When the team wins, we all win.

    We’re teammates, not just employees. We support each other, rely on each other, and carry the load together.

  • PUT PEOPLE FIRST

    People first, always.

    We look out for the people we work with and the people we work for. We listen, communicate, and treat everyone with respect.

  • COMMUNICATE CLEARLY

    Straight talk builds strong teams.

    We keep people in the loop — no guessing, no runaround. We say what we mean, follow through, and keep communication simple and honest.

  • KEEP IT CLEAN (IN EVERY WAY)

    A clean environment starts with a clean culture.

    We avoid gossip, drama, and side conversations that pull the team apart. We communicate honestly, directly, and with respect.

  • SOLVE IT, DON'T DODGE IT

    We’re the team that steps up and solves it.

    Problems happen. Excuses don’t fix them. We face issues head-on, communicate clearly, and follow through until it’s resolved.

  • HOPE IS NO STRATEGY

    Success comes from doing the work, not hoping for it.

    We don’t wait around for things to work out — we plan, prepare, and take action. We solve problems with intention, not wishful thinking.

  • WORK HARD, STAY HUMBLE

    We focus on the work, not the noise.

    We take pride in hard, honest work. No job is beneath us, and no one is above the team.

  • STAY HUNGRY

    Good enough today isn’t good enough tomorrow.

    We’re proud of our work, but never satisfied with standing still. We learn, train, and look for ways to improve — as people, as a team, and as a company. Growth isn’t a reward — it’s the expectation.

  • FINISH WITH PRIDE

    How we finish says who we are.

    We take pride in the details and the way we complete every job. From the first to the last step, we deliver quality work that lasts.

  • PROTECT WHAT MATTERS

    Safety and integrity are non-negotiable.

    We protect our team, our customers, and our reputation by doing things the right way — even when it’s the hard way. If it’s not safe or honest, we don’t do it.

  • TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN

    Because none of this works without our people.

    We invest deeply in our employees because they’re essential to IOC’s success. When someone on our team needs support, we step in thoughtfully — with time, resources, and generosity.
