How do I decide between 2× per week and daily service?

Use headcount and visitor traffic, then monitor restroom demand and high-touch points. Add a day porter or extra service day if mid-week complaints rise.

Do we need to disinfect every day?

Not necessarily. Clean high-touch areas regularly and disinfect after illness or higher risk. Follow EPA-registered product labels and contact times.

What are the high-touch surfaces in an office?

Handles, elevator buttons, faucets, shared keyboards/mice, printer panels, appliance handles, and reception counters.

Are restrooms always daily?

Most offices require daily restroom service; high-traffic areas may need multiple services per day.

Do cleaning frequencies affect indoor air quality?

Routine dust removal and vacuuming (HEPA preferred) support better indoor air, complemented by proper HVAC ventilation.

How do we verify cleaning quality?

Use checklists, tenant feedback, and periodic audits. ISSA Clean Standards help with objective, measurable outcomes.

How Often Should a Janitorial Company Clean My Office?

A clean office isn’t just about appearances—it’s about health, productivity, and the impression your space makes on employees and visitors. If you’re unsure how often a janitorial company should clean your office, start with two variables: how many people use the space and how much visitor traffic you receive. More people and more shared touchpoints mean more frequent service. As a baseline, most offices benefit from daily restroom care and high-touch wipe-downs, weekly floor and dusting cycles, and monthly detail work like baseboards, vents, and upholstery.

This guide breaks down exactly what to schedule and when. You’ll learn the difference between cleaning (removing soils) and disinfecting (killing germs with EPA-registered products at the proper contact time), so you deploy disinfection strategically—after illness or in higher-risk areas—without overspending. We’ll map core tasks to a simple cadence: restrooms and breakrooms daily; trash and recycling removal daily; high-touch surfaces daily (or more often during peak hours); vacuuming and mopping weekly (HEPA preferred for better indoor air); and deeper detailing monthly or quarterly.

Not sure how many days per week to book? As a practical rule of thumb: small offices (≤10 staff) often succeed with once per week plus a mid-week touchpoint in cold/flu season; medium offices (10–50) typically need 2–3 days per week; and large or high-traffic offices (50+ or public-facing) do best with daily service—to keep restrooms stocked and touchpoints clean between night crews.

You’ll also see how to monitor quality the professional way: use checklists, tenant feedback, and routine audits to right-size staffing and frequency. Finally, we connect the dots between cleaning and indoor air quality—regular dust removal and HEPA vacuuming make your environment easier to breathe and maintain.
