Your workplace is where your team spends most of their week, and it’s the first impression clients and visitors get. While regular daily cleaning is important for upkeep, it’s not enough to tackle the hidden dirt, bacteria, and wear-and-tear that build up over time.
That’s where deep cleaning services come in. At Cleancorp, we know a deep clean can completely transform an office, school, or commercial facility. Here are seven essential services that will make your workplace shine, and why they matter.
Carpets and upholstered furniture act like sponges for dust, dirt, and allergens. Over time, they trap bacteria, spills, and odours that daily vacuuming can’t remove.
What it includes:
Hot water extraction or steam cleaning for carpets.
Spot treatment for stains.
Upholstery cleaning for office chairs, couches, and partitions.
Deodorising to remove lingering odours.
Why it matters:
Extends the lifespan of carpets and furniture (saving thousands in replacements).
Reduces allergens, improving indoor air quality.
Creates a fresher, more professional-looking workplace.
Think about how many hands touch shared surfaces daily... keyboards, phones, light switches, door handles, and elevator buttons. These are hotspots for bacteria and viruses.
Deep cleaning covers:
Electrostatic disinfectant spraying.
Wiping and sanitising high-contact points.
Special attention to shared devices (photocopiers, touchscreens, remotes).
Why it matters:
Reduces absenteeism by limiting the spread of illness.
Builds confidence among staff and visitors that the workplace is hygienic.
Meets compliance requirements in industries like healthcare and childcare.
| High-Touch Surface | Germ Survival Time | Cleaning Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Door handles | Up to 48 hours | Daily + deep sanitisation |
| Keyboards | 24–72 hours | Daily wipe + weekly deep clean |
| Phones | 24 hours | Daily wipe + weekly deep clean |
Staff kitchens are often the dirtiest spaces in a workplace, and the most overlooked. Coffee spills, food crumbs, and sticky microwaves are breeding grounds for bacteria.
What a deep clean includes:
Degreasing ovens, stovetops, and microwaves.
Emptying and sanitising fridges.
Polishing sinks, taps, and splashbacks.
Wiping cupboards, tables, and chairs.
Why it matters:
Promotes hygiene in food prep areas.
Improves staff morale; people are happier in clean shared spaces.
Eliminates odours that linger in breakrooms.
Bathrooms reflect directly on your business. A surface wipe-down isn’t enough to tackle hard water stains, mould, and build-up.
Deep cleaning covers:
Scrubbing tiles and grout.
Descaling taps and fixtures.
Polishing mirrors and partitions.
Sanitising all surfaces, including less-visible areas.
Why it matters:
Prevents the spread of harmful bacteria like E. coli.
Creates a positive experience for staff and visitors.
Extends the life of bathroom fittings.
Indoor air quality is a silent productivity killer. Dust and mould build-up in HVAC systems circulate allergens throughout the workplace.
What’s involved:
Cleaning vents and ducts.
Replacing filters.
Removing dust, debris, and mould spores.
Why it matters:
Reduces respiratory issues and allergies.
Improves system efficiency, lowering energy costs.
Makes the office feel fresher and more comfortable.
Dirty windows and streaked glass partitions instantly drag down your workplace aesthetic.
Deep cleaning includes:
Interior and exterior window washing.
Polishing glass partitions and mirrors.
Removing hard water stains.
Why it matters:
Maximises natural light, improving staff wellbeing.
Creates a professional, polished impression.
Prevents permanent damage from mineral build-up.
| Area | Frequency Recommended | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Office windows | Quarterly | Natural light + image |
| Glass partitions | Monthly | Professional look |
| External facades | Bi-annually | Prevents staining |
Floors take the brunt of daily traffic, scuffs, and spills. Over time, they lose their shine.
Deep cleaning covers:
Stripping old sealants.
Polishing and buffing surfaces.
Resealing vinyl, tiles, or polished concrete.
Why it matters:
Restores the “wow factor” of your office.
Prevents slips, trips, and hygiene risks.
Protects assets and avoids costly replacements.
Deep cleaning isn’t just about looks — it impacts:
Health: Reduces allergens, bacteria, and viruses.
Productivity: Clean environments improve focus and reduce sick days.
Reputation: A sparkling workplace signals professionalism and care.
Most workplaces benefit from a deep clean every 6–12 months, depending on traffic and industry. High-traffic areas like schools and childcare centres may need more frequent services.
