Office cleaning frequency should be driven by foot traffic and how client-facing the space is - not simply headcount. A 20-person office with constant client visits often needs more frequent attention than a 50-person back-office team that rarely sees outside visitors.
3x per week: standard for moderate-traffic offices
A Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule works well for mid-size offices with moderate foot traffic - enough to keep washrooms, kitchens, and common areas consistently clean without daily service. This is often the starting point for offices without heavy client-facing demands.
5x per week: for busy or client-facing offices
Full business-week coverage suits offices where appearance and hygiene need to hold up every single day - client-facing businesses, busy reception areas, or offices with high daily headcount. Every-business-day service means washrooms and common areas never go more than a day without attention.
Daily or 7-day coverage: high-traffic, medical, or premium environments
Maximum cleanliness standards apply to environments where hygiene is non-negotiable - medical and clinic settings, high-traffic retail, or premium client-facing spaces where any inconsistency is immediately noticeable. These environments often pair daily cleaning with day porter support for continuous coverage during business hours.
The real question: what's your foot traffic and client exposure?
Rather than starting from a target frequency, it's more useful to start from how the space is actually used - staff count, visitor volume, kitchen and washroom usage, and known problem areas. That's the information we ask for before quoting, because it determines frequency more reliably than headcount alone.
