The Ultimate Office Cleaning Checklist (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

The best-kept offices work off a printed nightly checklist and layered weekly and monthly tasks. Here's the exact structure our commercial teams use for Detroit and Dallas clients.

Daily / nightly

Empty every trash and recycling bin, replace liners, wipe reception surfaces and door glass, sanitize kitchen counters, run the dishwasher, restock paper and soap in restrooms, disinfect toilets and sinks, mop restroom floors, vacuum common carpets, and spot-clean spills.

Weekly

Dust workstations and monitors, wipe conference tables and chairs, detail kitchen appliances, mop all hard floors, vacuum edges and corners, disinfect high-touch surfaces (light switches, doorknobs, elevator buttons), and detail restroom fixtures.

Monthly

Dust vents and ceiling fans, wipe baseboards, detail-clean glass partitions, check and clean under desks, deep-vacuum upholstered furniture, and polish stainless steel.

Quarterly & annually

Carpet extraction, hard-floor strip and wax, upholstery deep clean, high-dusting of light fixtures, and window cleaning inside and out.
