THE RIGHT BRIEF
For desks and shared office facilities
This page focuses on occupied offices, confidential work areas and staff kitchens. Use Commercial Cleaning for another type of business premises, or Contract Cleaning when the main question is an ongoing task schedule.
Offices need a cleaning schedule that reflects occupancy. A space used by a full team every weekday will have different needs from a meeting suite opened twice a week. Explain when people arrive, which rooms see visitors and where food is prepared. Clear desks before the visit so papers and personal belongings can stay undisturbed. Screens, keyboards and other electronics need an explicit agreement; permission to clean a desk is not permission to handle every device on it.
PLAN THE WORK
What to put in the cleaning brief
Keep desks, staff kitchens, washrooms and reception routes on a clear schedule. Confidential paperwork and electronic equipment need their own boundaries.
Workstations
Clear accessible desks and meeting tables so papers and personal belongings remain undisturbed. List furniture surfaces and nearby floor areas in the brief. Screens, keyboards and specialist devices require a separate agreement and suitable care instructions.
Staff kitchens
Specify worktops, sinks, cupboard fronts and appliance exteriors. Fridge interiors and washing up need agreement too. Decide who clears food, handles dishes and replaces supplies so responsibilities are clear.
Washrooms
List toilets, basins, mirrors, taps and floors. Tell us where supplies are kept and whether replenishment is requested. If the workplace has a disinfection policy, share the procedure and product requirements rather than relying on general wiping.
Reception routes
Entrance glass, reception counters and busy corridors need attention without blocking visitors. Explain your opening hours and meeting schedule, and flag routes that must remain available. Report damaged flooring or leaking fittings as maintenance issues.
HOW IT WORKS
From enquiry to an agreed visit
Describe the work
Send a room list and normal staff hours.
Review the quotation
Review the proposed cleaning frequency and washroom tasks.
Arrange access
Agree an alarm contact, keys and which desks must stay untouched.
BEFORE THE VISIT
Make the appointment workable
Keep confidential paperwork away from accessible desks. Nominate the person who supplies keys and manages the alarm. List consumables separately from cleaning tasks, including who buys them and whether replenishment is required. A short clear-desk notice to colleagues often makes access easier.
Give the floor area, staff attendance and the number of kitchens and washrooms. Frequency and the time available between shifts affect the quotation. Ask whether consumable replenishment and periodic carpet work are priced separately.
For office cleaning at an Oxford address, give the full postcode and the workstations details described above. For a property elsewhere in Oxfordshire, check coverage before arranging access.
Explain access to reception routes, including any site restrictions.
Ask staff to clear desks before the visit. Identify confidential areas and desks that must remain untouched. Handling paperwork or office electronics should never be assumed to be part of surface cleaning.
How often should an office be cleaned?+
Start with occupancy, visitor traffic and use of kitchens and washrooms. A busy daily office and a meeting suite used twice a week need different schedules. Discuss the areas that need attention most often.
Who supplies washroom consumables?+
Agree who purchases them, where they are stored and whether replenishment is included. Cleaning a washroom and supplying paper or soap are separate responsibilities.
