How Often Should Your Office Actually Be Cleaned?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and the honest answer is: it depends on your space. But here are some solid guidelines to work from.

Daily cleaning is ideal for busy offices with high foot traffic. This typically covers emptying bins, wiping down surfaces, sanitising bathrooms and kitchens, and a quick vacuum of main areas.

Weekly cleaning suits smaller offices or those with fewer staff. A thorough weekly clean covers all the bases — floors, desks, glass, common areas, and bathrooms — and keeps everything consistently fresh.

Fortnightly or monthly cleaning can work for very small or low-traffic offices, but should always be paired with day-to-day tidying from the team.

Deep cleans — think carpets, upholstery, vents, and hard-to-reach areas — are worth scheduling every few months regardless of your regular routine. A deep clean eliminates hidden dirt, allergens, and bacteria that standard cleaning often misses, making your workspace safer and more inviting for everyone who walks in.

A good rule of thumb: the higher the foot traffic, the more frequent the clean. Not sure what your office needs? A professional cleaning company (like us!) can assess your space and recommend the right schedule.
