How Often Should Your Office Be Professionally Cleaned?
Start with Foot Traffic and Risk
Cleaning frequency should reflect how your facility is used. Professional offices with steady traffic have different needs than call centers, dispatch hubs, or medical suites. We group spaces into four categories:
- Mission-critical areas – executive suites, client-facing conference rooms, medical operatories
- High-traffic support spaces – open workstations, break rooms, elevator lobbies
- Specialty zones – server rooms, labs, equipment closets
- Back-of-house – storage rooms, loading docks, maintenance corridors
Daily vs. Weekly Programs
At Anderson Cleaning we design custom SOPs for each account, but these guidelines help you set expectations:
- Daily cleaning for reception, client areas, restrooms, break rooms, and any space where spills or trash accumulate quickly.
- Three to five times per week for open work areas, private offices, and high-touch surfaces to maintain health and visual appeal.
- Weekly detail services such as glass polishing, dusting high ledges, disinfecting phones, and vacuuming upholstered furniture.
Monthly and Quarterly Deep Work
Even when you run a daily program, scheduled deep cleaning prevents long-term wear:
- Machine scrubbing or burnishing hard floors
- Carpet extraction and stain removal
- Detail cleaning of vents, baseboards, and interior windows
- Inventory checks for consumable products
Signals You Need to Increase Frequency
Consider upgrading your program if you notice:
- Frequent complaints about restrooms or break rooms
- Visible dust on horizontal surfaces within 24 hours of cleaning
- Trash bins overflowing midday
- Persistent odors or sticky floors even after nightly service
- More than one unscheduled service request per week
How Anderson Cleaning Builds the Schedule
During our walkthrough we document square footage, floor types, occupant density, and regulatory requirements. Then we build a cleaning matrix that outlines:
- Daily tasks (restroom sanitation, trash removal, high-touch disinfection)
- Weekly tasks (detailed dusting, conference room resets, interior glass)
- Monthly/quarterly tasks (floor maintenance, upholstery cleaning, vent dusting)
- Seasonal projects (window washing, exterior walk-off mat service)
