Nobody notices an office that was cleaned well. They notice the one that was not: the full bin at 9 am, the coffee ring on the meeting table, the washroom with no paper. Office cleaning is judged in the first ten minutes of the day.
Evening or early morning
We clean most offices between 6 and 9 pm. People have gone, the bins are full, and the floors have all night to dry. Early morning works better for offices that run late or share a building with evening classes.
What happens on every visit
- Desks wiped around what is on them, never under paperwork
- Bins and recycling emptied and relined
- Kitchen: dishwasher run or emptied, worktops, sink, fridge fronts, the coffee machine tray
- Washrooms: toilets, basins, mirrors, floors, paper and soap topped up from your stock
- Floors vacuumed, hard floors mopped
- Meeting rooms: table, glass, whiteboard, chairs pushed in
What happens once a week
Inside the fridge, the microwave, skirting boards, door frames, and the tops of cabinets. Screens and keyboards get a dry wipe only, and only if you ask.
The handover that makes it work
On the first visit we walk the space with whoever runs the office. We agree the checklist, the alarm routine, where supplies live and what must never be moved. After that, one named crew lead holds the key.
The best sign is silence. If nobody mentions the cleaning for a month, it is working.
Small offices
A team of eight in one room still needs two hours twice a week. Less than that and the kitchen and washroom take all the time, and the desks never get done.
