"How often do we actually need cleaning?" is one of the most common questions we get from office managers setting up a contract for the first time. The honest answer is: it depends on footfall, industry, and how the space is used — not just square footage.
Daily Cleaning Makes Sense If:
- Your office has more than 30-40 people working from it regularly
- You have client-facing areas like a reception or meeting rooms used often
- Your pantry or cafeteria sees regular use through the day
- Your washrooms serve more than a handful of people
Alternate-Day Cleaning Works For:
- Smaller offices (under 25 people) with moderate footfall
- Hybrid-work setups where the office isn't at full capacity daily
- Back-office or non-client-facing spaces
Weekly Deep Cleaning, Regardless of Frequency
Even offices on a daily light-cleaning schedule need a weekly (or biweekly, for smaller spaces) deep clean covering carpets, upholstery, glass, and vents. Daily cleaning maintains a baseline; it doesn't replace periodic deep cleaning.
Industry Matters More Than Size
A 2,000 sq ft law office and a 2,000 sq ft co-working space have very different cleaning needs despite being the same size. Co-working spaces, sales floors, and client-facing offices generally need daily attention regardless of headcount, simply because of visitor volume and shared-surface contact.
Our Recommendation
If you're unsure, start with daily cleaning for the first month and reassess. It's easier to scale down a contract to alternate-day than to explain to a client why your reception looked less than sharp on their visit. We offer flexible AMC contracts across Delhi NCR precisely so you can adjust frequency without renegotiating from scratch.
