Office Cleaning Checklist: Daily, Weekly and Monthly
A good office cleaning routine isn’t the same job every day — some tasks need daily attention, others weekly or monthly. This checklist sets out what a well-run office cleaning programme in Singapore should cover, so you can brief a contractor clearly or sanity-check the service you’re already getting.
Daily tasks
- Empty all bins and replace liners
- Sanitise toilets and restock consumables
- Wipe and disinfect high-touch points — door handles, switches, lift buttons, shared desks
- Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors in main areas
- Clean and tidy the pantry and wipe surfaces
- Spot-clean reception glass and entrance
Weekly tasks
- Detailed dusting of surfaces, ledges and equipment
- Clean internal glass, partitions and meeting rooms
- Mop and disinfect back-of-house and store areas
- Descale and deep-clean pantry sinks and appliances
Monthly and periodic tasks
- High dusting of vents, fittings and hard-to-reach areas
- Deep toilet descaling and grout cleaning
- Carpet shampooing and upholstery cleaning (quarterly)
- Floor stripping, polishing or re-coating (quarterly)
