How Often Should My Office Be Professionally Cleaned?

Keeping your office clean isn’t just about appearances. It plays a crucial role in maintaining employee wellbeing, improving productivity, and creating a positive impression on clients. But how often should different parts of your office be cleaned?

At Femme Propre, we understand that every office is unique, which is why we offer flexible cleaning schedules tailored to your needs. Whether you're considering daily, weekly, or bi-weekly cleans, here’s a guide to help you understand what works best.

Daily, Weekly, or Bi-Weekly? Breaking Down Cleaning Frequencies

Depending on your office size, number of employees, and the nature of your business, you may need a different cleaning schedule. Below is a breakdown of ideal cleaning frequencies for essential office areas:

Toilets and Washrooms

Recommended Frequency: Daily

Toilets are one of the most used areas in any office and are prone to bacteria and odours. Daily bathroom cleaning is essential to:

• Disinfect surfaces like sinks, toilets, and door handles

• Refill soap, toilet paper and paper towels

• Mop and sanitise floors

• Remove any unpleasant odours

For high-traffic offices, cleaning multiple times a day may be necessary.

Kitchens and Break Rooms

Recommended Frequency: Daily or 3-5 Times per Week

Office kitchens can quickly become unhygienic without regular upkeep. We recommend daily kitchen cleaning:

• Wiping and disinfecting surfaces

• Cleaning inside microwaves, fridges, and coffee machines

• Taking out rubbish and replacing liners

• Sweeping and mopping floors

A daily clean is ideal, especially for larger offices. For smaller offices, 3-5 cleans per week may suffice.

Desks and Workstations

Recommended Frequency: Weekly or Bi-Weekly (with daily spot checks)

While personal desks are often maintained by employees, professional cleaners should still:

• Dust and sanitise keyboards, monitors, and desktops

• Wipe down telephones and office equipment

• Disinfect shared desks and meeting tables

Encouraging employees to clear their desks at the end of the day makes cleaning more effective.

Floors (Carpeted and Hard Surfaces)

Recommended Frequency: Daily (spot cleaning) + Weekly/Monthly Deep Cleans

• Hard floors: Daily mopping and sweeping to prevent dirt buildup

• Carpeted floors: Daily vacuuming to remove dust and allergens

• Deep carpet cleaning: Monthly or quarterly carpet cleaning, depending on foot traffic

Maintaining clean floors reduces allergens and keeps your office looking professional.

Reception and Client Areas

Recommended Frequency: Daily

First impressions matter that's why we offer retail cleaning. Your reception should be spotless:

• Dusting and wiping down furniture and counters

• Vacuuming/mopping floors

• Cleaning glass doors and surfaces

Meeting Rooms

Recommended Frequency: After Each Use + Weekly Deep Clean

• Clear and disinfect tables and equipment

• Tidy chairs and surfaces

• Empty bins and replace liners

Meeting rooms often host guests, so deep cleaning reflects on your business.

Waste Bins

Recommended Frequency: Daily

All office bins should be emptied daily to avoid odours and contamination, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.
