When it comes to maintaining a clean and professional environment, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The frequency of cleaning for an office or commercial space depends on a variety of factors. At Dirt Doctors Cleaning Services, we believe that cleaning isn’t just about appearances it’s about creating a healthy, productive space that reflects your brand’s commitment to excellence.

So, how often should your space be cleaned? Let’s break it down.

Foot Traffic: Who’s Coming and Going?

The number of people who work in or visit your space daily plays a major role in determining cleaning frequency. A small office with five employees will have vastly different needs than a bustling medical clinic or retail store with hundreds of daily visitors.

• Low traffic (1–10 people/day): Weekly cleaning should suffice.
• Moderate traffic (10–40 people/day): Two to three times weekly cleaning helps maintain hygiene and presentation.
• High traffic (40+ people/day): Daily cleaning is recommended, especially for restrooms, lobbies, and shared areas.

High foot traffic means more dirt, more germs, and more wear on surfaces. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and keeps your space looking sharp.

Square Footage: Size Matters

The size of your space also affects how often it should be cleaned and how long it takes.

• Smaller spaces (under 2,000 sqft): Can often be cleaned in one session, but frequency depends on use.
• Medium spaces (2,000–5,000 sqft): Usually weekly or 2 times per week, depending on use.
• Larger spaces (5,000+ s ft): Typically require daily or multi-day cleaning schedules, especially if open to the public.

Level of Detail: What Does the Client Expect?

Some clients want a quick tidy-up. Others expect a deep clean that leaves every surface gleaming. The level of detail you expect will influence how often we visit and how long we stay.

• Basic cleaning: Includes vacuuming, horizontal surface dusting, trash removal, and restroom sanitization. Ideal for routine upkeep.
• Detailed cleaning: Adds disinfecting and wiping hi-touch surfaces, high and low dusting, vacuuming corners/edges and under desks, and wiping desk surfaces, among other tasks.
• Specialized services: May include carpet cleaning, floor scrubbing or widow cleaning, scheduled 1-2 times per year.
