The Ultimate Office Cleaning Checklist

A clean and tidy meeting table in an office

Maintaining a clean office is tough because an office space can become grubby and cluttered very quickly. If you’re planning to clean your office yourself or hiring a cleaning service, getting organized is the best way to go about it.

Here’s a checklist that’ll help you stay on track of your daily, weekly, and monthly office cleaning.

Ready to clean? Let’s start!

Daily

Ensuring the daily upkeep of your office space will ensure that it stays welcoming and fresh for your clients and staff. These daily tasks will prevent dirt and mess from piling up. Vital daily tasks must include:

  • Decluttering tabletops and workstations
  • Emptying the dustbins and cleaning them using disinfectants
  • Disinfecting the workstations
  • Maintaining the office dishwasher
  • Cleaning or wiping the kitchen
  • Cleaning the dining tables
  • Vacuuming areas of high footfall

If your office is in an open space, you must:

  • Vacuum the entire office’s floor
  • Mop the floor after vacuuming
  • Use a damp cloth to clean tables and desks to settle the dust
  • Dusting computer screens
  • Disinfecting bathrooms
  • Wiping down light switches and door handles

Weekly

These tasks require slightly more work than daily chores. They will prevent dust and gunk from building up and ensure that things are in excellent working order. Weekly tasks include:

  • Cleaning painted surfaces and walls when needed
  • Polishing mirrors, glass, and metallic surfaces
  • Deep cleaning bathrooms
  • Refilling the soap dispensers
  • Window cleaning
  • Cleaning kitchen appliances, like kettles and microwave ovens.

Monthly

Daily tasks help you get rid of the daily mess, and weekly tasks ensure that you maintain your daily cleaning standards. Monthly tasks comprise of little jobs that can make all the difference in ensuring how welcoming and clean your office environment is for your client’s. These tasks include:

  • Vacuuming fabric surfaces (chairs and soft boards)
  • Dusting every object in your office, ranging from tables and cabinets to computers and ACs
  • Vacuuming HVAC vents which have collected dust over a month
  • Cleaning carpets with a pressure steam cleaner
  • Polishing floors (if required)

Maintaining a clean office requires a lot of time and effort. If you have a small business, you may be able to manage your office cleaning. However, for bigger office space, you’ll need to outsource workers from a commercial cleaning company.
