Office cleaning frequency for small Edmonton businesses
How often should an Edmonton office be cleaned? Frequency by team size, the three rooms that change the answer, and flat per-visit vs 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.
