  1. The (Not So) Dirty Details on Office Cleaning.

    How often should your office be cleaned? You'll get a different answer depending on whom you ask. Some people say daily, some say weekly, and some say it depends on the business. Cleaning frequency has pros and cons, and it ultimately comes down to what's best for your business. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons of different cleaning schedules to help you make the best decision for your office.

    DAILY CLEANING
    Pros: A clean office is a happy office, and happy employees are productive employees. Daily cleaning also helps prevent the build-up of dirt, dust, and grime—all of which can contribute to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). SBS is real, and its symptoms—headaches, dizziness, fatigue, respiratory problems—are no joke. In short, daily cleaning can improve employee morale and health, which boosts productivity.

    Cons: Daily cleaning can be costly in terms of money and time. Hiring a full-time cleaner or cleaning team may be challenging if you have a large office. And even if you can swing it financially, daily cleaning can disrupt employees trying to focus on their work unless done out-of-hours. Not everyone works well with having someone clean around them; some prefer complete silence while they work, while others appreciate white noise or music. Either way, daily cleaning can interfere with employee productivity if not done at an appropriate time or if it's disruptive.

    WEEKLY CLEANING
    Pros: A weekly cleaning schedule strike a good balance between cost-effectiveness and cleanliness. It's often more affordable to hire a part-time or contract cleaner for a few hours once a week than to hire someone full-time or multiple times per week. And while weekly cleaning isn't as thorough as daily cleaning—you're not going to get into all the nooks, and crannies like you would come with daily cleaning—it's still enough to keep things tidy and prevent the build-up of dirt and grime.

    Cons: The cons of weekly cleaning are similar to the cons of daily cleaning; it can be disruptive to employees trying to focus on their work unless done out-of-hours. Additionally, because weekly cleanings are less thorough than daily cleanings, there's a greater chance that dirt and grime will build up over time—especially in areas that don't see much foot traffic (think: under desks, in corners). If left unchecked, this build-up can lead to unpleasant smells and even health problems.

    So how often should your office be cleaned? That depends on your business—its size, industry, budget—and what you prioritize as a company. If you value employee productivity above all else, then daily or biweekly cleanings may be worth the investment. However, if you're working with limited resources (time & money), then weekly cleanings may be more feasible. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what's best for your business.
