What Are the Elements of an Office Deep Cleaning Service?

June 1, 2022

Most offices are busy places where many activities like meetings, interviews, and appointments go on continually. Due to the high traffic and numerous activities, the workspace will get dirty, and that's when you will need a cleaning service. 


When you engage a reputable janitorial service, they will clean your office every day to improve the company's reputation, increase productivity, and avoid infections. However, regular office cleaning isn't the most thorough, so at some point, your service provider may recommend an occasional deep cleaning.


What's the Difference Between Regular and Deep Cleaning Services?


Regular office cleaning focuses on the day-to-day upkeep of the workspace. The professional cleaners will focus on mopping, vacuuming, cleaning restrooms, wiping down high-touch surfaces, replacing trash liners, and cleaning door handles.


Deep cleaning is done occasionally, and the intervals will depend on the office usage and required level of cleanliness. The task involves sanitizing and cleaning every part of the office to eliminate dust, microorganisms, allergens, and mold stuck anywhere in the work environment. Although the process takes longer, the results are worth it.


Basic Elements of Deep Cleaning an Office


Most reputable janitorial service providers offer customized office deep cleaning services to meet their client's sanitation needs. Therefore, the steps they follow may vary from one workspace to another. Here are some things they'll do to ensure your office is spotless after deep cleaning.


1. Dusting All Surfaces


Even if professionals clean your office every day, they don't get to areas like the tops of the shelves, fans, corners, window ledges, and vents where lots of dust accumulates over time. Your cleaners will use a microfiber cleaning cloth or tool to remove the dust, cobwebs, or insect housings on these surfaces.


This part of the cleaning will come in handy if the workers and customers suffer from allergies. The dust buildup, insect eggs, or cobwebs interfere with the air quality, and no matter how hard your air conditioning system works, the building will feel stuffy.


2. Removing Clutter


The next step is to get rid of the clutter. Clutter feels chaotic and lowers productivity and effectiveness. Before the cleaners arrive, ask the employees to place all the essential documents in one area to avoid misplacing them. This step will ensure the documents are safe when the cleaners remove everything from the shelves, drawers, and cupboards. 


To clear the desks, the cleaners will stack everything neatly in another room or on the floor and wipe down all the surfaces. They will then assess each item before putting them back on the desk or drawers. All those old fodders and sticky notes, pens, and other supplies the employees don't need will be thrown away. Once the desks, filing cabinets, and cupboards are clean, they will rearrange the remaining vital items.


3. Cleaning the Floor and Carpeting


Since regular office cleaning is often done during the day, the cleaners don't get the chance to move the furniture to clean all the surfaces and furniture properly. This causes the accumulation of spilled beverages and food crumbs that create stains on the floor or carpeting. Viruses and bacteria thrive in such areas, affecting the employees' and customers' health. Besides, the stains make the floor or carpet appear unsightly.


The janitorial service team will vacuum and clean all the upholstery furniture and move them around to get behind the hidden areas on the floor. If you have carpeted floors, the cleaners will use a commercial-grade vacuum to trap all the allergens, germs, and dust in the carpet fibers. They will also mop the bare parts of the floor, staircases, and entrances.
