What Does a Professional Office Cleaning Service Include?

Office cleaning is less standardised than people assume. Two providers quoting the same building can be pricing meaningfully different scopes, which is why comparing quotes on headline figures alone is unreliable.

What is almost always included

• Restroom cleaning and sanitising
• Waste and recycling collection
• Kitchen and break-room surfaces, sink, and appliance exteriors
• Vacuuming and mopping of general floor areas
• Reception and entrance areas
• High-touch points such as handles and switches

What depends on the arrangement

These are the items worth naming explicitly, because reasonable providers differ on whether they are in scope.

• Desk surfaces — many providers will not move personal items or paperwork
• Interior glass and partitions, and how often
• Restroom consumables — whether supplied or only restocked
• Inside appliances such as the refrigerator and microwave
• Detailed floor care as distinct from routine mopping
• High dusting of vents, fittings, and tops of cabinets

What is usually outside a standard scope

• Exterior windows above ground level
• Carpet extraction and specialist floor restoration
• Waste removal beyond normal office volumes
• Anything requiring specialist access equipment
• Clearing or handling confidential material

The desk question

Desks cause more friction than any other item. Staff generally do not want personal items moved, and providers generally will not risk moving them. The workable answer is usually that cleared desk surfaces get cleaned and cluttered ones get left — which means it is worth telling staff that clearing their desk is what gets it cleaned.
