Office Cleaning Services

A clean office creates a more organised, presentable and comfortable workplace for employees, clients and visitors.

Office cleaning can be arranged as a once-off clean, regular weekly service, or an ongoing cleaning schedule based on the size of the workplace, number of staff, traffic levels and areas that need attention.

The service is suitable for offices, professional practices, shared workspaces and other workplace environments.

• Weekly
• Fortnightly
• Other agreed schedules

The required frequency depends on factors such as the number of employees, customer traffic, office size, kitchen use and bathroom usage.

How Much Does Office Cleaning Cost?

Office cleaning is priced according to the workplace rather than using a single price for every office.

Factors that can affect the price include:

• Office size
• Number of rooms
• Number of bathrooms
• Number of employees
• Frequency of cleaning
• Floor type
• Kitchen or staff facilities
• Amount of daily traffic
• Current condition
• Additional cleaning requirements

For a starting price structure, use:

Office size / requirement	Price
Small office	R___
Medium office	R___
Large office	R___
Custom / multi-area office	R___

For regular contracts, the cleaning frequency and required scope can be used to determine the appropriate service arrangement.

What Should You Tell Us Before Booking?

To help determine the right cleaning service, provide:

• Office location
• Approximate office size
• Number of rooms
• Number of bathrooms
• Number of employees
• Cleaning frequency required
• Floor types
• Kitchen or staff facilities
• Whether the office is currently occupied
• Any areas requiring additional attention

For larger offices or workplaces with specific requirements, an assessment may be appropriate before confirming the scope.

Office Cleaning for Different Workplaces

Office cleaning can be adapted to different working environments, including:

• Professional offices
• Small businesses
• Corporate offices
• Shared workspaces
• Reception areas
• Consulting practices
• Accounting and legal offices
• Estate agency offices

• Studios and similar workplaces

The cleaning requirements can vary considerably between a small office with a few employees and a larger workplace with high daily foot traffic.

What Should an Office Cleaner Expect?

The cleaning team should work within the agreed scope and take reasonable care while working around office furniture, equipment and documents.

Cleaners should:

• Follow the agreed cleaning requirements
• Treat workplace property with care
• Avoid interfering with confidential documents
• Report visible damage or unusual conditions
• Report leaks, water issues or unsafe conditions where noticed
• Keep cleaning activities orderly
• Leave cleaned areas presentable
• Avoid moving heavy equipment unless specifically agreed

What Should the Business Do Before Cleaning?

The business should:

• Provide access to the premises
• Identify areas that require special attention
• Secure confidential documents and valuables
• Advise us of fragile or sensitive equipment
• Provide access to water and electricity where required
• Identify restricted areas
• Advise of any surfaces requiring specific cleaning products
• Inform us of security or access procedures

This helps prevent misunderstandings about what can and cannot be cleaned.
