What should an office cleaning checklist include?
The short answer
A good office cleaning checklist splits tasks into daily, weekly and monthly jobs. Daily: bins, kitchen, bathrooms, high-touch points and floors in busy areas. Weekly: all floors, desks and glass. Monthly: skirting boards, vents, appliances and detail cleaning. Your cleaner should leave a record of each visit.
