What Does Office Cleaning Consist Of?

Hint: It’s More Than Emptying Bins!

When most people think of office cleaning, they picture someone vacuuming the floor and taking the bins out.

Job done, right?

Not quite.

A properly cleaned office does more than look tidy – it helps staff feel comfortable, stay healthy, and work more effectively. It also leaves a lasting impression on anyone who walks through the door.

Here’s what professional office cleaning actually involves.

Daily Cleaning Tasks

These are the basics, but they matter. They keep everything ticking over and stop the small mess from turning into a big problem.

  • Emptying bins and replacing liners

  • Vacuuming and mopping floors

  • Dusting desks and surfaces

  • Wiping high-touch points (door handles, switches, phones)

  • Cleaning kitchens and break areas

  • Toilet and washroom cleaning

  • Restocking consumables (toilet roll, soap, paper towels)

Even with hybrid or part-time teams, daily cleaning keeps hygiene levels consistent and helps avoid build-up.

Weekly or Periodic Cleaning Tasks

These are the things that don’t need doing every day, but make a huge difference when they’re done properly and regularly:

  • Wiping skirting boards and ledges

  • Cleaning behind desks and under furniture

  • Disinfecting computer equipment

  • Cleaning glass doors and internal windows

  • Emptying and sanitising fridges and kitchen appliances

  • Floor polishing or carpet spot treatments

  • Checking and reporting maintenance issues

This is where attention to detail really shows, especially in shared or high-traffic areas.

Deep Cleaning and Specialist Services

Depending on your site, schedule, and footfall, deep cleaning might be required monthly, quarterly, or even annually.

This could include:

If it hasn’t been done in a while, you’ll notice the difference straight away.

What Else Is Included?

A good office cleaning service also brings:

  • Trained, uniformed staff

  • COSHH-compliant cleaning products

  • Risk assessments and method statements

  • Site-specific checklists and reporting

  • Flexibility around your schedule

Whether you need cleaning first thing, after hours, or even during the day with minimal disruption – we work around you.

Every Office Is Different

From open-plan tech hubs to clinical offices and co-working spaces, no two workplaces are the same. That’s why we start with a proper site visit and create a custom plan that fits your needs, not just a tick-box list.

Some clients need daily attention. Others want deep cleans only. Some spaces demand discreet daytime cleaning, while others prefer early morning resets.

We make it work.
