What Does Office Cleaning Include?
A standard office cleaning visit typically includes:
Some companies offer add-ons such as carpet steam cleaning or window cleaning, so ask which are included in the base plan and which cost extra.
How Often Should an Office Be Cleaned?
As a rough guide to how often an office should be cleaned, based in Calgary:
| Office Type | Suggested Frequency |
|---|---|
| Busy office, daily staff and visitors | 3 to 5 times a week |
| Mid-size office, moderate traffic | 2 to 3 times a week |
| Small office or low foot traffic | 1 to 2 times a week |
| Shared or co-working restrooms | Daily, regardless of overall office size |
Restrooms and kitchens are the exception: most offices clean these daily even if the rest of the space is cleaned less often.
Day, Evening or Night Cleaning: Which Is Best for an Office?
Most offices prefer having cleaning done outside working hours so that staff and meetings are never interrupted, letting cleaners work through every desk and common area undisturbed.
Offices that are open around the clock sometimes have a short daytime touch-up visit in addition to their main after-hours service. Service Pro Inc offers day, evening, night and weekend slots, so the schedule fits how your office operates.
Breakroom and Kitchen Cleaning
Shared kitchens and breakrooms can get dirty quickly with coffee spills, microwave splatters and dishes in the sink. A good cleaning plan wipes counters, sinks and appliance exteriors and empties garbage, so the space can be genuinely used by employees.
What Should You Ask Before Hiring an Office Cleaning Company?
-
What's included in the base plan, in writing?
-
Who supplies equipment and products, and are they green or low-toxicity?
-
How are staff trained, and what happens if a visit is missed?
-
What scheduling options exist: day, evening, night, weekend?
-
Are they insured, with proof of insurance and WCB coverage?
-
How is pricing structured, and what counts as an add-on?
What Does Office Cleaning Cost in Calgary?
It depends on square footage, layout, number of restrooms and kitchens, visit frequency and add-ons such as carpet cleaning. A quote based on a specific site is more reliable than a flat per-square-foot estimate found online.
