“How often should office kitchen cleaning take place?” is a common question that people ask us when we’re on a site-visit. This is where we create a cleaning schedule for an office and give an estimate price.
So, how often should office kitchen cleaning take place?
Our answer is if you’re using your office kitchen every day, then you should be cleaning your office kitchen every day.
Consider that the office kitchen is the number one hot-spot for germs in the workplace – and some office kitchen surfaces can have more bacteria than a sanitary bin. Your office cleaning company should be cleaning the office kitchen surfaces, cupboard and appliance handles, sinks and the floors every day during the week in order to maintain hygiene.
What to discuss with your office cleaning company
You should discuss with your company how often you would like your office kitchen appliances and surfaces to be cleaned. You also should define a regular cleaning schedule for your office kitchen that meets your requirements and budget.
How often should you clean out the office kitchen fridge?
We recommend at least once or twice a week. A recent study showed that 44% of office fridges get cleaned out once a month and 22% are only being addressed once or twice a year. Despite the cold temperatures, germs like listeria can grow and spread in the office fridge. Once listeria-contaminated food enters the fridge, it’s able to multiply and infect the other foods in there.
