In-house or outsourced?

Outsourcing to a cleaning company means a consistent schedule, the right equipment, and no cover to arrange when someone is off. Many offices prefer a visit outside working hours so the team arrives to a clean workplace.

Common questions

How often should an office be cleaned?

Washrooms, bins and shared surfaces benefit from daily attention. Floors and the kitchenette are usually done several times a week, and a deeper clean monthly.
