What Areas of an Office Need Deep Cleaning?

An office is a busy space. It can become dirty, dusty, grimy and filled with stale odours. Routine sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dusting and trash removal is not always enough. Sometimes you need a deep clean.

What is a deep clean? 

Deep cleaning is the process of removing visible dirt as well as germs, bacteria and viruses. It includes cleaning of frequently touched surfaces and accessible spaces as well as nooks and crannies that aren’t typically covered in regular cleaning. Deep cleaning begins with the removal of dirt and organic matter, followed by the use of disinfectants. 

Why deep clean an office? 

Routine cleaning is not enough to ensure the health and safety of a workplace. A deep clean eliminates harmful elements (allergens, dust particles, mould, germs, bacteria, viruses) from curtains, carpets, furniture, walls, ceilings, fixtures, microwaves and the corners of your office space. Standard janitorial services are designed to maintain a satisfactory level of cleanliness in your office but do not cover certain areas that may be inaccessible or harder to clean. Deep cleaning is more comprehensive and time-consuming than regular cleaning services. 

What areas of an office require deep cleaning?

• Bathrooms: Special products are used to clean toilets, fountains, walls, stalls, garbage bins and doors. 

• Kitchens/breakrooms: A deep clean involves cleaning and disinfecting the fridge, pantry shelves, countertops, grout, cupboards, garbage and food bins. 

• High traffic areas: Deep cleaning includes special attention to the reception area, front desk and hallways. High-powered vacuums that trap dust and allergen particles are employed. Particular attention is paid to corners, edges and crevices.

• Walls and window treatments: Walls are washed with special attention to baseboards, door handles, and corners that may collect dirt and dust. Windows, curtains, blinds and other window treatments are given a thorough clean. 

• Hard to reach places: Machines, cords, desks, monitors, keyboards, vents, ledges, ceilings, cabinets, light fixtures, switches, door handles and furniture are cleaned to remove cobwebs, dust, insect eggs and germs.
