How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Office?

Daily janitorial service keeps an office looking presentable, but it isn't the same as a deep clean. Carpets, vents, and high-touch surfaces build up grime and allergens well below the surface that a nightly vacuum won't reach.

As a general rule: high-traffic carpet and upholstery benefit from a deep clean every 3 to 6 months, while vents, light fixtures, and behind-furniture areas hold up fine on a quarterly schedule.

Offices with higher foot traffic — retail, clinics, shared coworking spaces — should lean toward the shorter end of that range. A predictable deep-clean schedule also extends the life of carpet and furniture, which is cheaper than replacing it early.
