How to Choose the Right Professional Office Cleaning Company

Professional office cleaning helps employers maintain a productive and healthy work environment. Partnering with a local contract cleaning firm like It’s Clean Ltd means you gain all the benefits of using a professional contract cleaning company along with the added advantages of working with a business that is focused on a small geographical area, offering a highly personalised and responsive service.


We have written before about the benefits of using a local contract cleaning company to clean offices and commercial premises and why we have chosen to concentrate our commercial cleaning services to a tight 50-mile radius that includes Harrogate, Ripon, Wetherby, Knaresborough, Leeds and York. As well as choosing a local supplier, we would always recommend choosing a firm like ours with an outstanding reputation for high standards.


Whether you manage a small office or a large corporate space, using a reputable firm that follows the best practices for office cleaning will improve employee wellbeing and create a positive impression on clients.

In this guide, we will explore expert tips to keep your office pristine with the help of It’s Clean Ltd’s professional contract cleaning service.


Why Office Cleaning is Essential


A clean office is more than just aesthetically pleasing; it impacts employee health, productivity, and overall workplace morale. Hiring an office cleaning company helps to:

·     Reduce the spread of germs and bacteria

·     Improve air quality

·     Enhance employee efficiency and satisfaction

·     Create a welcoming space for clients and visitors


Best Practices for Office Cleaning


1. Daily Cleaning Routine


A daily cleaning routine is crucial to maintaining a hygienic workplace. A commercial cleaning company should focus on daily maintenance tasks, which might include:


·     Emptying bins and replacing liners

·     Wiping down high-touch surfaces such as desks, keyboards, and doorknobs

·     Vacuuming carpets and mopping floors

·     Cleaning and disinfecting restrooms


One of our USPs at It’s Clean Ltd is our tailored cleaning plan. Every business will have different needs day-to-day and we will create a customised schedule to suit your operations and the way you work.


2. Weekly Deep Cleaning


A deeper clean should be scheduled weekly to tackle areas that accumulate dust and grime. A professional contract cleaning service should include:


·     Dusting shelves, blinds, and office equipment

·     Sanitising kitchen and breakroom appliances

·     Spot-cleaning upholstery and furniture

·     Polishing glass windows and mirrors


3. Monthly and Seasonal Cleaning Tasks


Certain cleaning tasks require monthly or seasonal attention. A local contract cleaning firm like ours can help with routine, frequent and seasonal tasks. Some of the jobs we typically schedule monthly or for certain times of the year include:


·     Steam-cleaning carpets and rugs

·     Cleaning air ducts and vents

·     Power washing exterior surfaces

·     Deep-cleaning office chairs and upholstery

·     Deep-cleaning kitchens and communal spaces
