The question seems simple, and the answer ought to fit on one line. Yet two offices of the same size can have opposite needs. One welcomes clients all day while the other works remotely four days out of five.
Most offices choose between daily, several-times-a-week, weekly or bi-weekly cleaning. The right frequency depends on how many people are on site, client traffic and the type of premises. The more people and shared areas, the more often it should be cleaned.
1A few rules of thumb
- Daily: very busy offices, client-facing spaces, clinics and stores
- Several times a week: mid-sized offices with a kitchen and meeting rooms
- Weekly: small offices with few visitors
- Bi-weekly: very small, lightly used spaces that the team keeps tidy between visits
2What tips the balance
- The number of people present each day
- Remote work and the busiest days
- The number of washrooms and kitchens
- Whether you receive clients or patients
- The season, since winter brings its share of salt and dirt
3Not every task keeps the same rhythm
A well-designed contract doesn't treat every surface alike. Washrooms, kitchens and garbage need regular attention, while the top of a cabinet can wait. A good plan specifies each task and its frequency instead of repeating everything on every visit.
4Signs your frequency is too low
- Bins overflow before the next visit
- Washrooms run out of soap or paper
- Your employees clean between visits themselves
- Clients or staff have mentioned it
