Why a schedule matters
Most offices are cleaned every day, but daily cleaning only removes surface dirt. Grime builds up in carpets, grout, upholstery and vents, and eventually shows up as stains, odours and a tired-looking workplace. A clear schedule that separates daily, weekly and periodic tasks keeps standards high without overspending.
Daily tasks
These are the tasks your staff and visitors notice first. They should be done every working day, ideally before people arrive:
- Washrooms cleaned, disinfected and restocked
- Pantry counters, sinks and appliances wiped
- Desks, door handles and high-touch points sanitised
- Floors swept and mopped; bins emptied
- Reception and meeting rooms reset
Weekly tasks
Once a week, go a level deeper:
- Vacuum carpets thoroughly, including under desks
- Clean interior glass and partitions
- Dust skirting, shelves and window sills
- Wipe down fridges and microwaves inside
Monthly and quarterly deep cleaning
A deep clean every one to three months, depending on headcount and footfall, resets the space. This includes carpet shampooing, upholstery cleaning, machine scrubbing of hard floors, washroom descaling and cleaning of light fixtures and air vents. High-traffic offices, clinics and food areas benefit from monthly deep cleans; quieter offices can manage quarterly.
How to make it stick
Write the schedule down as a site checklist, assign each task to a person and shift, and have a supervisor inspect against it. That's exactly how Mirach runs every cleaning contract: a site-specific plan, trained staff and honest reporting, so you can verify the results yourself.
