A consistent cleaning routine protects both your team's health and the impression your office makes on clients. Here's a practical breakdown by area.

Reception and common areas

Wipe down door handles and reception counters daily, vacuum or mop floors, and empty trash bins. Glass doors and windows should be cleaned at least weekly.

Workstations

Desks, keyboards, and phones should be wiped down regularly — these are among the highest-touch surfaces in any office.

Break rooms and kitchens

Countertops, microwaves, and refrigerator handles need daily attention. Sinks and appliance interiors should be deep cleaned weekly to prevent buildup and odors.

Restrooms

These need daily cleaning and disinfection without exception — sinks, toilets, door handles, and floors are the highest-priority areas in any facility.

Floors and carpets

Daily vacuuming or sweeping, with deep carpet cleaning every three to six months depending on traffic.

A written schedule keeps everyone aligned on what's expected between professional cleaning visits.
