How Often Should an Office Be Professionally Cleaned?

The simple answer

Most small Brighton offices (5–15 staff) need a weekly clean. From 15+ staff, twice weekly. Daily cleans are standard for shared workspaces, dental and medical practices, and busy reception areas.

Frequency by office type

  • 5–15 staff studio — weekly
  • 15–40 staff office — twice weekly
  • 40+ staff or shared space — daily
  • Dental / medical / clinical — daily
  • Retail / showroom — daily
  • Co-working — daily

Why under-cleaning costs more in the end

An office that's cleaned less than it should be doesn't just look tired — it costs more in the long run. Carpets shade and wear faster, glass smears, washroom limescale builds, and staff sickness rates rise.

A weekly contract typically pays for itself by extending the lifespan of carpets, fittings and finishes by 18–24 months.
