How often should an office be cleaned?

Most offices need nightly service for high-touch areas and a layered schedule for everything else. Restrooms, breakrooms, trash and touchpoints can’t skip days without people noticing; carpets, windows and deep details can.

The layered schedule that works

Nightly (or every open day): restrooms, breakrooms and kitchenettes, trash and recycling, entry glass, desks and touchpoints in shared areas, spot-vacuuming traffic lanes.

Weekly: full vacuum and mop, dusting of surfaces and sills, conference rooms reset, interior glass beyond the lobby.

Monthly: high and low dusting (vents, ledges, baseboards), upholstery spot checks, hard-floor machine work as needed.

Quarterly to twice a year: carpet extraction in traffic lanes, exterior windows, floor finish work.

Right-sizing instead of over-buying

The most common mistake we see in Utah facilities is a one-size contract — paying for nightly everything when a hybrid schedule would keep the building just as sharp. The second most common is the opposite: cutting to two nights a week and letting restrooms decide your reputation.

The honest answer depends on headcount, foot traffic, and what your visitors see. That’s exactly what a walkthrough is for: we map the building, flag the critical points, and put frequencies against each one — so you pay for outcomes, not habits.
