Office cleaning frequency for small Edmonton businesses
How often should an Edmonton office actually be cleaned? Frequency by team size, the three rooms that change the answer, and how flat per-visit office pricing compares to hourly billing.
TL;DR
An Edmonton office of 6–15 employees needs cleaning 2× per week for common areas plus daily washroom-only service; an office of 16–40 typically needs daily 1-hour visits. The right cadence depends mostly on three rooms: washrooms, lunch room, and reception.
Office cleaning is more frequency-sensitive than residential. A house can wait a week between cleans; an office with a coffee machine and shared washrooms cannot. (For tier pricing by square footage see our office cleaning service.)
Frequency by team size
- 1–5 employees — once a week, 1.5 hours, with quarterly deep cleans
- 6–15 employees — twice a week for common areas, daily 30-minute washroom service
- 16–40 employees — daily 1-hour cleans focused on washrooms, lunch room, and reception; deep clean monthly
- 40+ employees — split daily service: morning 60-minute opening clean, after-hours full clean
The three rooms that change everything
- Washrooms — by far the most odor- and impression-sensitive. Daily minimum at any office with public access.
- Lunch room or kitchenette — coffee rings, microwave splatter, and food crumbs build odour fast. Daily at 10+ people.
- Reception or front entry — first impression for every visitor; weekly minimum, biweekly only acceptable if traffic is very low.
Cost math under flat per-visit pricing
A 12-person Edmonton office is typically a Medium office (1000–2500 sq ft) at $265–$355 per visit. On a twice-weekly plus daily-washroom plan that's roughly $3,000–$3,800 per month including the daily quick-services. A daily 1-hour single-cleaner plan for the same office at a Small-office rate sits closer to $4,000 per month. The price-per-impression is better on the daily plan; the absolute number is higher when daily visits stack up.
Frequently asked
- Is the office rate per cleaner or per visit?
- Flat per visit, sized by office square footage. Small (≤1000 sq ft) $180–$220, Medium (1000–2500) $265–$355, Large (2500–5000) $355–$400, XL (5000+) $400–$450. One number per visit regardless of how many cleaners we send to hit the SLA.
- Do you bring supplies for offices?
- Yes — all cleaning supplies are included. Paper goods (toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap) are typically supplied by the office, but we can manage those on contract if requested.
- Can you clean after hours?
- Yes. Most Edmonton offices prefer after-hours so we don't disrupt work. Our office crews are available 18:00–23:00 weekdays.
- What about pandemic-era disinfection protocols?
- We use EPA Safer Choice-listed hydrogen peroxide for high-touch surfaces. If you have specific protocols from your IH or HR team, we adapt.
