Office Cleaning Services

Office cleaning is a fixed round done on a fixed schedule, usually outside the hours anybody is working. Desks and shared surfaces wiped, restrooms cleaned and restocked, the kitchen or break area reset, trash and recycling out, floors vacuumed and washed, and glass on doors and partitions where hands go.

The list does not change week to week, which is the point: a commercial space is judged on whether it is consistent, not on whether one clean was impressive.

What is included in a commercial cleaning round?

The parts that a business cannot leave to whoever is around. Restrooms are first, because they are the single thing a visitor judges: toilets, sinks, mirrors, floors, and paper, soap and towels restocked from your stock. The kitchen or break area: counters, sink, the outside of the microwave and fridge, and the trash.

Work areas: desks and shared surfaces wiped around whatever is left out, keyboards and phones if you want them done, and the door glass and handles. Then floors, vacuumed and washed, and everything out to the dumpster.

Do you clean offices outside business hours?

Yes, and that is usually the right answer. Our hours run Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, so an early round before the doors open and a Saturday morning round are both straightforward.

A small office is often better done first thing, because a vacuum running while people are on calls helps nobody. Tell us your opening hours and we will fit the round around them.

How do you handle keys, alarm codes and access?

The same way any business should expect. Access gets agreed in writing before the first round: who holds a key, what the alarm code is or who disarms it, which doors get locked behind us, and who we call if something is wrong when we arrive.

Prime Harmony Cleaning Service is a family owned and woman owned company, and we are insured. If your lease or your own insurer sets conditions on contractors in the building, tell us what they are before we quote.

What sort of premises is this for?

Small commercial rather than industrial. Professional offices, a studio, a salon, a small shop floor, a clinic waiting area, a workshop office, a unit in a shared building.

What those have in common is a handful of rooms, a restroom or two, a kitchen area and a front of house that customers see. Large facilities work, medical decontamination and post construction cleaning are all different trades with different requirements, and we will say so rather than take the job.

How often does an office need cleaning?

Head count and footfall decide it, not floor area. A quiet office of three or four people is usually fine on one round a week.

Anywhere the public walks in, or anywhere the restroom is shared by a dozen people, wants two or three rounds a week, because restrooms and entrance floors are what fall behind first. A shop floor with daily traffic is a daily job. Start with the frequency your restrooms need and build the rest around that.

What is the difference between office cleaning and janitorial work?

In everyday use they mean the same thing: a recurring round that keeps a working building presentable. Janitorial is the older word and often carries the extra duties of restocking supplies, handling the trash and recycling, and reporting building problems. That is how we run it. If your building already has a janitor for the fabric of the place and you only need the cleaning round, say so and we will quote just that.

What we report, and what we do not touch

You get told what we found: a leaking faucet, a light out in the restroom, a lock that is not catching, a bin store that is overflowing before collection day.

We do not carry out repairs and we do not move anything on a desk we have not been told to move, because a cleaned desk with a missing document is a worse outcome than a dusty one. Tell us what is off limits and it stays that way.

Best Office Cleaning Services in Norwich

Norwich is the base and the reason a fixed early round is realistic here: the drive is short, so a 7:00 am start is a normal morning rather than a special arrangement. The same holds across the county, from New London to Groton, all inside about a 32 minute drive.

If a space needs the build up taken off before a regular round can hold it, start with a deep clean. See the towns we cover, the rest of our cleaning services, or ask for a free quote.
