Office cleaning is organised by area, task and frequency. Reception, open-plan desks, meeting rooms, private offices, kitchens, washrooms, stairs and corridors each have their own tasks.
Offices are often cleaned before staff arrive or after they leave. If cleaning has to happen during the working day, meeting rooms and kitchens are done at the quieter times.
What the work covers

Toilets, urinals, basins, mirrors and floors cleaned, with dispensers refilled from your stock.
Worktops, sinks, appliance fronts and tables cleaned, and the dishwasher loaded or emptied if agreed.
Carpets vacuumed and hard floors mopped, with entrance matting kept clear of grit.
General waste and recycling emptied into your external bins, following your separation rules.
Seating, tables, glass doors and touch points such as handles and switches.
Questions people ask
How is office cleaning priced?
On the floor area, the number of washrooms and kitchens, how many people use the building and how often each task is done. A floor plan and your preferred cleaning hours help set the figure.
What should we tell you about keys, fobs and alarm codes?
How many keys or fobs you can issue, who on your side controls the alarm, and who to contact if it goes off outside working hours.
Do the cleaners clean desks with papers on them?
Desks are wiped where the surface is clear. Papers, laptops and personal items are left alone, so ask staff to clear desks on the days desk cleaning is scheduled.
Can periodic jobs be added to an office contract?
Carpet cleaning, internal glass partitions, kitchen deep cleans and cleaning after an office move or refurbishment can go in your enquiry, with the quieter periods in your calendar.
