How Often Should Your Sydney Office Be Cleaned?
There's no single answer — it depends on your office size, number of staff, visitor traffic, and industry. Here's a practical guide.
By Staff Count
High-Touch Areas: Clean Daily Regardless of Office Size
Even small offices should clean these areas daily:
- Kitchen and break room — bacteria growth on surfaces, sink, and appliances
- Bathrooms — sanitisation is a health and safety requirement
- Reception and entry — first impression matters
- Rubbish bins — especially in kitchens
Weekly Tasks (at minimum)
- Desk and workstation wiping
- Meeting room full clean
- Floor vacuuming and mopping
- Glass and partition cleaning
- Restocking paper, soap, and supplies
Monthly or Periodic Deep Clean
- Carpet steam cleaning (quarterly for high traffic)
- Air vent and exhaust fan cleaning
- Behind and under furniture
- Window exterior cleaning
- High dusting (ceiling fans, tops of partitions)
Industry-Specific Requirements
Medical practices: Daily sanitisation is mandatory. High-touch surfaces must be disinfected between patients using TGA-approved disinfectants.
Childcare centres: ACECQA standards require daily cleaning of food preparation areas, bathrooms, and play equipment.
Food service: HACCP-aligned cleaning of commercial kitchens after every service.
What Happens When Offices Aren't Cleaned Frequently Enough?
Research from the University of Arizona found the average office desk has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. Regular professional cleaning reduces sick days, improves staff morale, and makes a better impression on clients.
