Is Your Office Cleaning Schedule in Need of an Update?

Office Cleaning

An office cleaning schedule is the most effective way to ensure a spotless facility while keeping costs under control. Every office and facility has unique needs, depending on the size and type of the business, the number of employees and other operational factors. A small or startup company may begin with a limited schedule of services performed on a twice-monthly or weekly basis. As your business grows, however, so too does your need for commercial cleaning services. If you haven’t reviewed your company’s cleaning schedule in a while, it may be time to revisit your needs and revise your schedule.

Daily Cleaning Tasks

Many companies prefer to have some tasks performed on a daily basis. This ensures that the facility looks great for your customers and provides a safe and sanitary environment for your employees. Typical daily tasks include emptying the trash, vacuuming carpeted surfaces and sweeping and mopping all hard floors. For many companies, especially those engaged in manufacturing and related activities, dusting is also necessary each day. For the restrooms and office kitchen or break room, daily tasks may include sanitizing sinks and plumbing fixtures, refilling paper items and soap dispensers, and disinfecting surfaces. If you’ve noticed that some of these services aren’t happening often enough on your current schedule, consider increasing cleaning to a daily basis.

Weekly Cleaning Tasks

Typically, for those customers who receive daily cleaning service, weekly tasks include those that take longer or that don’t require daily service. These may include vacuuming upholstered furniture, cleaning air vents, dusting high surfaces, and window or glass partition washing. In the kitchen, this may involve cleaning out the refrigerator and sanitizing food surfaces.

Small companies may not include these tasks in their commercial contract, preferring to save money and perform them in-house. If you find your reception area, conference rooms or other common areas not looking as sharp and clean as you prefer, consider adding these tasks to the schedule. This leaves your staff free to focus on their work.

Monthly or Quarterly Tasks

The truly big-ticket tasks, those that most companies schedule monthly or quarterly, include carpet cleaning, hard floor stripping and buffing, and deep cleaning walls. It may also include upholstery shampooing and window blind washing as well as exterior window cleaning. Other exterior services such as power washing walls are necessary for many businesses. Because these activities may disrupt operations, most facility managers prefer to schedule them outside of normal business hours.
