Regular Cleaning Vs. Deep Cleaning

The definition of regular cleaning

The basic definition of regular cleaning can be defined as the removal of dust, dirt, and debris from the surface of an object. This procedure does not include sanitizing or disinfecting surfaces. The regular cleaning process does not necessarily kill germs but it lowers the risk of infections being spread while leaving a clear surface. Regular cleaning includes:

  • Dusting tables, file cabinets, office dividers, all other horizontal surfaces

The Definition of deep cleaning

The Deep cleaning procedure covers these basics as well as going into a more in depth cleaning process. Deep cleaning  can be defined as the complete and routine process that removes any visible dirt/dust also bacteria and germs.

How often Should Regular Cleaning and Deep Cleaning be Completed?

Regular cleaning should be completed more frequently than deep cleaning. It is recommended  that regular cleaning should be completed twice a week for most businesses with more than 10 employees and regular foot traffic. There are various factors that determine how often regular cleaning should be done. This depends on the traffic in your business or type of business you have. This also depends on the size of the workplace. 

Deep cleaning should be completed on a monthly basis. This frequency can also depend on the number of employees and traffic at your place of business. The frequency of deep cleaning services can be reduced from once a month depending on the business’s needs. The additional services we recommend can be completed every 6 to 12 months. Deep cleaning procedures are great for special circumstances such as hosting parties or corporate visiting the office. There are a variety of factors that determine how often you may need a deep cleaning in your business such as foot traffic, internal vs external traffic flow, as well as the amount of rugs, carpets, tiles, and materials inside your building.
