A clean office supports productivity, promotes a healthier workplace, and creates a positive first impression for clients and visitors. It also helps protect floors, furniture, and high-use surfaces, extending their lifespan.

The most effective results come from a commercial cleaning plan that matches how your office is used. A clear office cleaning checklist is a good starting point, but it works best when the schedule is tailored to your foot traffic, layout, and budget. Champion Cleaning customizes service plans to deliver consistent results without paying for cleaning services you do not need.

Customize Your Plan (Size, Traffic, Flooring)

Step 1: Start with an office-size baseline.

Small spaces (under about 5,000 square feet or under 25 people) often do well with two to five visits per week.

Mid-sized spaces (about 5,000 to 20,000 square feet or 25 to 100 people) usually need daily service for bathrooms, trash, flooring, and high touch points.

Large spaces (20,000 square feet or more or 100 people or more) often benefit from daily service plus daytime support, especially if they host visitors and meetings.

‍

Step 2: Adjust for foot traffic.

Foot traffic is one of the biggest factors in how often an office should be cleaned.

Low-traffic workplaces typically have mostly employees and few visitors. In these spaces, some tasks can be handled weekly instead of daily.

Medium-traffic ones have steady visitors or shared areas like breakrooms, conference rooms, or common restrooms. Daily commercial cleaning becomes more important, especially for bathrooms and high-touch surfaces.

High-traffic ones are public-facing, host frequent meetings, or see heavy toilet room use. These environments usually require daily service along with regular deep cleaning to prevent buildup.

‍

Step 3: Adjust for flooring types

Mostly carpet

• Plan for frequent vacuuming
  
  
• Schedule periodic extraction to remove embedded soil and refresh high-traffic lanes
  
  

Mostly hard flooring like tile or LVT

• Mop work helps day to day, but periodic machine scrubbing prevents dullness and buildup.
  
  

Mixed floor cleaning

• Vacuum carpeted areas frequently
  
  
• Mop entry zones and breakrooms more often than low-traffic workspaces.
  
  
• Add periodic machine scrubbing for hard floor areas
  
  
  

Step 4: Turn it into a simple plan

Daily Cleaning

• Bathrooms, trash, flooring, high-touch points
  
  

Weekly Cleaning

• Glass, edges and corners, detailed dusting, stain response
  
  

Monthly Cleaning

• Machine scrubbing where needed, vent and door detail, trash staging hygiene
  
  

Periodic deep cleaning

• Carpet extraction, tile and grout detail work, exterior cleaning as needed
  
  
  

The Champion Edge: Commercial Grade Tech

Many commercial cleaning companies use household-grade equipment, which can fall short in busy buildings. Workspaces typically need commercial-grade tools to deliver faster service, more consistent results, and a higher standard of cleanliness.

Champion Cleaning uses backpack vacuums so our teams can clean efficiently around desks, furniture, and tight work areas. This improves day-to-day carpet coverage and helps carpets stay presentable between deep cleanings.

For deeper carpet care, we use truck-mounted hot water extraction. Compared to small portable or rental machines, this method removes more embedded soil and helps lift stains while avoiding excess moisture.

We also provide power washing for entryways, sidewalks, and exterior high-traffic areas. It is an effective way to maintain curb appeal and keep your property looking professional year-round.

‍

Day Porter vs. Nightly Schedules: Which Fits Your Building?

Day porter janitorial services keep your building in good shape during business hours. This support is ideal for high-traffic spaces and can include facilities restocking, quick surface wipe-downs, spill response, and maintaining lobbies and common areas throughout the day.

Nightly cleaning takes place after hours, when the space is empty. This allows crews to clean without interruptions and focus on core tasks like sweeping, mopping, trash removal, bathroom cleaning, and resetting the office for a fresh start the next morning.

Many buildings benefit from a combination of both. A hybrid plan provides daytime coverage where it matters most, then a complete after-hours cleaning to fully reset the space.

‍

Office Deep Cleaning and Periodic Add-Ons

Routine commercial cleaning handles the day-to-day basics and keeps your office consistently presentable. Deep cleaning focuses on the buildup that develops over time, especially in high-traffic and hard-to-reach areas.

Carpet hot water extraction is a deep-cleaning method that removes embedded dirt, allergens, and stains, particularly in entryways and main walkways. Tile and grout cleaning helps washrooms and breakrooms look brighter while improving overall hygiene by addressing grime that regular mopping can miss.

Certain behind-the-scenes areas also need scheduled attention. Trash handling zones, storage rooms, and utility spaces can develop odors and buildup if they are only cleaned occasionally. Exterior power washing is another useful add-on that keeps entryways and sidewalks looking clean and professional, improving curb appeal year-round.

‍

Full Service Logistics: One Less Thing on Your Plate

Champion Cleaning provides cleaning products and equipment, so you do not have to manage supply orders. Washroom supplies can also be included, such as paper goods, soap, and dispenser support.

Access can be handled using keys, codes, or fobs based on your building rules. Champion Cleaning also carries the right insurance coverage so you can feel confident about who is working in your space.

‍

Environmental and Health Safety

Many business spaces want effective cleaning with a lighter environmental impact. Champion Cleaning uses eco-friendly options where practical while still focusing on consistent cleaning, proper disinfection, and attention to high-frequency touchpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in Champion's services?

Most office cleaning plans include entrance doors and glass, dusting and wiping desks and common surfaces, washroom cleaning and sanitation, vacuuming carpets, mopping hard flooring, trash and recycling removal, breakroom and kitchen cleaning, and disinfecting high-touch points like doorknobs and light switches. Champion can also add cleaning services like window washing, deep carpet cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, and power washing based on your needs.

What areas do you clean during a normal visit?

Typical focus areas include lobbies and entrances, hallways, work areas, conference rooms, breakrooms, and bathrooms. The exact scope depends on your schedule, traffic level, and any add-ons you choose.

How often should my office be cleaned?

As a baseline, many workplaces schedule cleaning at least once per week. If your office has steady visitors, heavy toilet room use, frequent meetings, or shared amenities, you may need two to five visits per week or daily service. The best approach is an on-site walkthrough to match the schedule to your space and budget.

How do I choose between daily, weekly, and periodic schedules?

Start with traffic and restrooms. High-traffic workplaces usually need daily attention to restrooms, trash, floors, and high-touch points. Lower-traffic ones can shift some tasks to weekly while keeping restrooms and touchpoints prioritized. Periodic deep cleaning fills the gap for carpets and buildup that routine cleaning does not fully remove.

Can we request a service outside of our normal schedule?

Yes. Just call or email and let us know what you need. Depending on the request, we may need to stop by to confirm the scope and provide pricing.

What do you need from us to provide a quote?

To get started, we schedule a quick appointment where a member of our team visits your property, discusses your needs, and provides a quote. Many walkthroughs take about 30 minutes.

Are quotes free?

Yes. You can call, email, or reach out through the contact form, and we will respond within 24 business hours to start the process.

Do you clean during the day or at night?

Most office cleaning is performed after hours so teams can work efficiently without interrupting meetings, calls, or focused work. If you need support during the day for restocking and quick response, day porter service is a good option.

Do you supply the products and equipment?

Yes. Our crews arrive with their own cleaning products and equipment, so your team does not have to manage supplies unless you have a specific requirement.

What kinds of products do you use?

Wherever practical, we use green cleaning products. For high-frequency touchpoints, sanitizers and disinfectants may be used when appropriate. These products are designed to kill germs and are not always labeled as “green.”

Do you disinfect everything in the office?

We prioritize disinfecting high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, bathroom fixtures, and shared equipment. This targeted approach aligns with widely accepted facility hygiene guidance that focuses disinfection where it matters most.

Do you clean desktops?

Yes. Because desktops are personal workspaces, we clean cleared desktops and avoid moving papers or personal items. If desk cleaning is requested, we recommend setting a simple guideline for staff to clear surfaces before service.

Do you offer carpet spot or deep carpet cleaning?

Yes. We can provide rigorous spot cleaning for heavily stained areas. We also offer deep carpet cleaning, including hot water extraction, to remove embedded soil and refresh high-traffic lanes.

What if we close for vacation or need to pause service?

Just email or call and let us know when to stop service and when to start again. We will adjust your schedule and pause charges during the closure.

How do you manage security and access?

Each property has different preferences. We can work with keys, fobs, lockboxes, entry codes, remotely scheduled access, or other approved methods based on what works best for your building.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are bonded and carry general liability coverage as well as workers’ compensation. A certificate of insurance can be provided upon request.

Do we need to sign a long-term contract?

Typically, no. We usually operate from a clear proposal that lists the agreed cleaning services and scope. If your company requires a contract, we can provide one or work from one you supply.

How do we know what was cleaned after each visit?

You should see clear signs of work in visible areas such as entrance glass, surface areas, bathrooms, and common touchpoints. Our cleaning teams also follow task checklists to help ensure nothing is missed. If there is ever an issue, contact us and we will address it promptly.

Does someone need to be at the business for you to clean?

No. As long as we have approved access and permission to be on-site, our crews can clean on the schedule you choose without requiring someone from your staff to be present.

What does it cost?

Pricing varies based on the size of the space, frequency, restroom count, floor types, and the cleaning services you need, such as disinfection, carpet cleaning, floor care, deep cleaning, or power washing. After a walkthrough, we provide a clear proposal with scope and pricing.
