Office Cleaning Checklist for Small Businesses

An office cleaning checklist sorts every task by how often it is done: every visit, every week and every month. Restrooms, trash, floors and shared surfaces are cleaned every visit. Glass, vents and baseboards follow on the weekly and monthly lists.

Cleaning vs Disinfecting in an Office

Most offices need regular cleaning, not constant disinfecting. The CDC says cleaning alone removes most harmful germs from surfaces, and recommends disinfecting where someone has been ill. When you do disinfect, follow the product label.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a small office be cleaned?

It depends on how many people use the space. Restrooms, trash and shared surfaces need attention on every visit, because they are touched all day.

Do small offices need disinfecting or just cleaning?

Regular cleaning is enough in most situations, according to the CDC. Disinfect where someone has been ill, and follow the product label.

What is the difference between office cleaning services and janitorial services?

The terms overlap. What matters is the task list in the quote, so compare the lists, not the labels.

Should employees clean their own desks?

Ask staff to clear their desks at the end of the day. The crew then wipes the surface, and personal items stay in the drawers.
