A clean office isn’t one big deep clean — it’s a rhythm. This is the exact office cleaning checklist our crews run nationwide, broken into daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly tasks. Use it to audit your current provider or hand it to your team.

Daily office cleaning checklist

• Empty trash and recycling; replace liners
• Wipe and disinfect high-touch points: door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, shared phones
• Clean and disinfect restrooms; restock paper and soap
• Wipe kitchen/breakroom counters, tables, and sink; run or empty dishwasher
• Spot-clean entry glass and lobby surfaces
• Vacuum high-traffic carpet; dust-mop hard floors

Weekly

• Full vacuum of all carpeted areas, including edges and under desks
• Damp-mop all hard floors
• Dust desks, ledges, and window sills (work around papers, never through them)
• Clean interior glass and partition windows
• Disinfect trash bins and replace all liners
• Polish stainless steel and entry hardware

Monthly

• High dusting: vents, ceiling corners, light fixtures, tops of cabinets
• Deep-clean breakroom appliances (microwave, fridge interior)
• Machine-scrub restroom floors and grout
• Dust blinds and clean window treatments
• Vacuum upholstered furniture and fabric panels

Quarterly / seasonal

• Carpet extraction in high-traffic lanes
• Strip & wax or burnish VCT; re-coat as needed
• Exterior window cleaning
• Clean light diffusers and replace flickering lamps
• Walk the facility with your provider and re-score the scope

How to use this checklist

Print it, walk your space once a week, and grade each line pass/fail. If your current provider fails the same line twice in a month, that’s not a bad night — that’s a system problem. Our crews score every visit against this checklist with photo proof, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee: anything missed gets re-cleaned within 24 hours, free.

How much does commercial cleaning cost? For most U.S. businesses in 2026, expect roughly $0.08–$0.25 per square foot per visit, or $30–$50 per hour per cleaner. A typical 5,000 sq ft office cleaned three times a week usually lands between $700 and $1,500 per month. Here is what actually drives the number — and how to keep it down without sacrificing quality.

The three pricing models

• Per square foot — most common for recurring janitorial; $0.08–$0.25/sq ft per visit depending on density of workstations, restrooms, and floor types.
• Hourly — $30–$50/hr per cleaner; common for one-time, post-construction, or small offices.
• Flat monthly contract — predictable budgeting for defined scope and frequency; usually the best value for 3–7 visits per week.

What moves the price up or down

• Frequency — nightly service costs more in total but less per visit than weekly.
• Scope — restrooms, kitchens, and floor care (strip & wax, carpet extraction) cost more than trash-and-dust service.
• Facility type — medical and food-processing facilities require compliance protocols that add 20–40%.
• Floor types — VCT, polished concrete, and carpet each need different (and differently priced) programs.
• Security & access — badged access, escorts, or daytime-only windows add labor time.

Sample budgets (2026)

• Small office, 2,500 sq ft, 1x/week: $250–$500/mo
• Standard office, 5,000 sq ft, 3x/week: $700–$1,500/mo
• Medical suite, 4,000 sq ft, 5x/week: $1,800–$3,500/mo
• Warehouse w/ offices, 25,000 sq ft, 2x/week: $1,500–$3,000/mo

How to lower your commercial cleaning cost

• Right-size the frequency — many offices over-buy nightly service when 3x/week with a day porter performs better.
• Bundle services — janitorial + floor care + supplies under one contract beats three vendors’ minimums.
• Insist on inspection systems — photo-verified visits prevent the expensive failure mode: paying for work that didn’t happen.

Red flags in a cheap bid

A bid 30–40% below market usually means under-insured crews, no inspection system, or hours that quietly shrink after month two. Ask every bidder for proof of insurance (we carry a $5M umbrella and provide a COI within 24 hours), a written scope, and how they verify completed work.
