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 the $50/hr Edmonton baseline.
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.
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 at $50 per cleaner per hour
A 12-person Edmonton office on a twice-weekly plus daily-washroom plan runs roughly $1,400 per month. A daily 1-hour single-cleaner plan for the same office runs $1,100 per month. The price-per-impression is better on the daily plan; the absolute number is higher on the twice-weekly plan.
Frequently asked
- Is the $50/hr rate per cleaner or per visit?
- Per cleaner per hour. A 1-hour visit with two cleaners is $100. A 90-minute visit with one cleaner is $75.
- 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.
