Office cleaning schedules that actually reduce employee sick days

High touch sanitization, restroom cadence, and the small details that protect your team through cold and flu season.

Office cleaning has changed a lot since 2020 and most companies have not updated their schedules to match. A nightly vacuum and a bathroom restock is no longer enough if you care about how many sick days your team takes between October and March.

Restrooms should be checked twice a day in any office above 15 people. Once mid morning, once mid afternoon. Paper restocks and a fast surface wipe take under 10 minutes per check and prevent the slide where staff stop reporting issues because they assume nobody is listening.

Build in a deep clean every two weeks: kitchen appliance interiors, behind and under furniture, vents and returns, glass partitions, baseboards, and a HEPA vacuum pass on all soft surfaces. This is the visit that catches the buildup most cleaners ignore.

Lastminute builds custom schedules around your hours, your office layout, and your team's tolerance for disruption. Single point of contact, same crew every visit, monthly walkthrough with your office manager. The goal is that you forget we exist until you notice that nobody on your team got the flu this year.
