Confirm when the office is actually available
Published business hours may not reflect late meetings, cleaning blackout periods, or employees who regularly remain onsite.
Prioritize high-use shared spaces
Reception, conference rooms, kitchens, restrooms, and traffic lanes usually need more consistent attention than low-use private rooms.
Document desk and electronics rules
Decide whether cleaners work around papers, dust accessible desk areas, or avoid individual workstations entirely.
Rotate detail and periodic work
Baseboards, vents, interior glass, carpet extraction, and floor projects should have their own schedule instead of being assumed nightly.
Practical checklist
Information to gather
- Earliest reliable start time
- Late-occupant contact procedure
- Key and alarm instructions
- Desk and document policy
- Nightly room priorities
- Weekly and periodic task rotation
Examples
How this applies in real facilities
- A professional office cleans kitchens and restrooms nightly but rotates low-use conference rooms.
- A multi-tenant building separates landlord common areas from tenant-suite responsibilities.
