Office Cleaning Checklist for Small Businesses in South Metro Atlanta
By ScrubMAX Team · August 30, 2026 · 5 min read
What a professional office cleaning schedule should cover nightly, weekly, and monthly — plus how to scope a commercial cleaning contract without overpaying.
Build the schedule around traffic, not square footage alone
A 3,000 sq ft office with 25 employees needs more frequent restroom and breakroom service than a 6,000 sq ft warehouse office with 6 people. Scope by traffic and touchpoints first.
Nightly or per-visit
- Restrooms fully sanitized and restocked
- Breakroom counters, sinks, tables, and appliance fronts
- Trash and recycling emptied, liners replaced
- High-touch points: door handles, light switches, shared keyboards
- Entry glass and lobby floors
- Vacuum traffic lanes and spot mop hard floors
Weekly
- Full vacuum including under desks and along walls
- Interior glass and partition wiping
- Detail dusting of sills, ledges, and equipment tops
- Conference room chairs and table bases
Monthly and quarterly
- Baseboards and vent covers
- High dusting: light fixtures, ceiling corners, ductwork
- Hard-floor scrub or burnish
- Carpet spot extraction
Scoping a contract that stays fair
- Define frequency per area, not per building.
- Separate consumables from labor in the quote.
- Ask for a named checklist your team can audit.
- Start on a 90-day term, then move to annual once quality is proven.
