How often should you deep clean your office?

Whilst regular office cleaning should be done weekly, a deep clean should take place at least once a year, and probably more frequently for larger companies.

What’s the difference between regular office cleaning and deep office cleaning?

Regular office cleaning typically focuses on maintaining the cleanliness of the office. This will take the form of tasks like tidying, hoovering and mopping floors and cleaning the bathrooms and kitchens.

A deep office clean, on the other hand is more in-depth, looking to improve the hygiene of the office. This means trying to get rid of any grime, dirt and bacteria that has built up in your office over time. Deep cleaning your office consists of reaching areas that aren’t typically covered by a regular office clean like:

• behind kitchen appliances
• under the sinks
• inside and outside of windows
• a full and deep dusting

Why should you deep clean your office?

Deep office cleans improve overall office hygiene thereby reducing the spread of infections and viruses as well as keeping tabs on clutter and dust. This can benefit your staff as it may help motivate your employees as they feel happier coming into a clean workspace, especially if there was a previous problem around illness or rodents.

Do you need to hire a company or can you do the deep office clean yourself?

Whilst you could do the clean yourself, you may not have the professional equipment, products and know-how to do it. That’s why we recommend you enlist Dorset Commercial Cleaning to deep clean your office. Our highly trained and friendly cleaners are fully equipped to carry out a full office deep clean, guaranteeing a high quality finish to help your organisation thrive.

Office Deep Cleaning Tips

Based on our experience, our top tips for deep cleaning your office can be found below.

Remove EVERYTHING before commencing

Everything that can be moved on your office floor should be moved out the way before you start to clean. This means all desks, drawers, shelving and furniture should be moved so it's easier to reach and clean awkward corners and areas. This also gives you the opportunity to declutter at the same time.

Consider rearranging your office space

After a deep clean, you may think about rearranging your office space, since all your furniture has been moved anyway. This gives you a great opportunity to experiment with different layouts that may be more practical, functional and easy to work in.

Computer equipment should be cleaned properly

Computer keyboards are known as one of the dirtiest places in an office as germs can build up due to their constant use. We advise a proper clean consisting of compressed air and alcohol (applied via a cotton bud) between the keys.

Manage office rubbish

We advise investing in good quality office bins that can contain litter without any leaks. Bins should also be wiped and disinfected at the end of each week.

Have plants in your office

As one of the reasons for an office deep clean revolves around improving air quality, you should look into having plants in your office to assist. Not only do they look nice but they produce oxygen, and also clean the air of health-damaging toxins and release humidity back into the atmosphere.

Additionally, a few plants around the office can go a long way to improving both staff concentration and team morale.
