Standard office cleaning—like sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down surfaces—daily or weekly helps maintain a clean space for you and your employees. It looks good to higher-ups and potential employees, makes for a comfortable work environment, and minimizes bacteria and set-in stains. However, regular cleaning isn’t enough on its own. The following brief guide covers the importance of deep office cleaning, including why and how often it should be done.

What Is Deep Cleaning?

Professional deep cleaning services may differ by company, but they should have the same goal of providing a thorough, detailed cleaning that targets overlooked and hard to reach areas, such as corners and around furniture. Instead of doing a light once-over of key areas, they’ll do a thorough sweep of the entire space, getting every surface as clean as possible.

For instance, during a deep floor cleaning, close attention will be given to areas under desks, chairs, and appliances, and items will be moved to clean underneath. Windowsills, blinds, drapes, light fixtures, fans, baseboards, and crown molding should be cleaned. Areas that are touched or used frequently, including bathrooms, door handles, light switches, keyboards, computer screens, and desks, should be sanitized to kill germs. All surfaces throughout the space should be scrubbed and disinfected. The commercial cleaners may also clean inside your appliances, like the microwave and fridge, and inside communal cabinets and drawers in the break room.

Why Does It Matter?

Regular cleaning only removes dirt and grime on the surface level to maintain a habitable space, while deep cleaning aims to eradicate all dirt and germs in the office. It removes allergens like dust and pollen collected on vents or under furniture, minimizing employees’ respiratory irritation. It will also remove dirt and grime from carpets, mats, and textured floors that regular cleaning may miss, revitalizing their appearance. 

Regular deep cleaning can extend the life of your flooring, countertops, and furniture by keeping their appearances in check and minimizing set-in stains. Overall, it promotes a healthier, more sanitary, and welcoming work environment to encourage employee productivity while maintaining the condition of the space. Generally, deep cleaning should take place at least every six months, though very large or busy offices—especially those that allow pets—may benefit from cleanings every four months to limit dirt accumulation.
