How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Office?

Dazzle 'n Co Team·2025-02-15·4 min read

A clean office isn't just about appearances — it directly impacts employee health, productivity, and the impression you make on clients and visitors. While regular office cleaning keeps things tidy day-to-day, a periodic deep clean goes much further.

Regular Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning

Regular office cleaning (daily or weekly) typically covers:

  • Desk and surface wiping
  • Floor vacuuming and mopping
  • Bathroom sanitisation
  • Bin emptying
  • Kitchen area cleaning
  • Deep cleaning goes much further:

  • Behind and underneath furniture
  • Inside cupboards and storage areas
  • Grout and tile scrubbing
  • Vent and exhaust fan cleaning
  • Upholstery and carpet deep cleaning
  • High-touch surfaces sanitisation
  • Light fixtures and ceiling fans
  • How Often Should You Deep Clean?

    The answer depends on several factors:

    Office Size and Staff Count

  • Small offices (under 20 staff) — Every 3-6 months
  • Medium offices (20-50 staff) — Every 2-3 months
  • Large offices (50+ staff) — Monthly or bi-monthly
  • Industry Type

  • Healthcare and medical — Monthly or more frequently
  • Food service areas — Monthly
  • Standard office — Quarterly
  • Low-traffic environments — Every 6 months
  • Seasonal Considerations

  • Flu season (winter) — Increase frequency to reduce illness spread
  • Allergy season (spring) — A deep clean removes accumulated allergens
  • Post-holiday — After busy periods or office events
  • Signs Your Office Needs a Deep Clean

    Watch for these indicators:

  • Persistent odours that regular cleaning doesn't resolve
  • Visible dust on vents, light fixtures, or high surfaces
  • Stained carpets or discoloured grout
  • Increased employee sick days — poor hygiene can contribute to illness
  • Client-facing events — ensure your space makes the best impression
  • The ROI of a Clean Office

    Investing in regular deep cleaning delivers measurable returns:

  • Reduced sick days — A hygienic office means healthier employees
  • Higher productivity — A clean environment improves focus and morale
  • Better impressions — Clients and visitors notice a well-maintained space
  • Extended asset life — Regular maintenance protects carpets, furniture, and fixtures
  • Combine Regular and Deep Cleaning

    The most effective approach is combining regular office cleaning with periodic deep cleans. This ensures your office is always presentable while also addressing the areas that daily cleaning misses.
