Cleaning Frequency by Service Type

General Commercial Cleaning

For most offices and professional spaces, general cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, wiping down surfaces, trash removal) should occur daily or several times per week, depending on traffic. This ensures the workspace remains tidy, sanitary, and professional.

Carpet Cleaning

Commercial carpets act like sponges for dirt, allergens, and debris. High-traffic areas such as entrances, hallways, and common spaces benefit from monthly to quarterly carpet cleaning. Lower-traffic areas may only need professional cleaning every 6 months.

Disinfecting Services

Disinfecting is essential in healthcare, food service, and any high-touch or high-traffic environment. For most businesses, weekly disinfecting helps prevent the spread of illness, while daily disinfecting is ideal during cold and flu season or in shared workspaces.

• Post-renovation or construction work
• During flu season or illness outbreaks
• After company events or large gatherings
• Seasonal changes (spring pollen, winter salt residue)
