At First Cleaning Services we offer a range of cleaning services and while we offer daily office cleaning services, you may find that from time to time your business premises may need a professional deep clean. This blog explains exactly what a commercial deep cleaning should involve, and the benefits of having one.
What is a Professional Deep Clean?
Deep cleaning is a cleaning process that removes dust, dirt, bacteria, and debris from every area of a building. This includes hard-to-reach, rarely touched areas where dirt has the opportunity to accumulate over time.
Deep cleaning requires moving every item, whether fixed or mobile, so that a thorough cleaning can be done. Every surface, every nook and cranny will be reached. This usually does not happen on a daily or even weekly basis.
What is Included in a Deep Clean?
Deep cleaning usually includes:
Hard-to-reach ledges, windows, light fixtures, and above cabinets
Descale all faucets
Remove HVAC vent covers and wash them in the sink with warm soapy water
Inside and outside windows, frames, and glass
Ceiling fans
Wipe down and disinfect doors and door frames
Sanitize rubbish bins, recycling, and wastebaskets
Blinds

All equipment moved and thoroughly cleaned
TVs, monitors, and CCTV cameras, including on top
Cabinets and drawers inside and out

Wash and disinfect all walls
Bathrooms thoroughly cleaned including all grouting, toilet base, and behind.
How Often Should You Have a Deep Clean?
The level of cleanliness and sanitisation required in a business depends on your business operations. Additional measures are often required for industrial, healthcare or food industries. Specialist cleaning is essential for these areas as each is regulated by their own authorities with their own mandatory requirements.
However, in many commercial establishments such as schools, offices, retail or hospitality, ‘deep cleaning’ is a service provided by professional commercial cleaners that essentially goes beyond the daily cleaning of social care facilities and visible areas, or just those areas that are most frequently used or seen.
All cleaning has important health considerations, but daily office cleaning can be more about keeping an area fit for work, tidy and clean from a practical point of view. In commercial premises, maintaining a professional look and feel is important. But deep cleaning goes far beyond this.
How Often Should an Office Have a Deep Clean?
There are no rules on how often your premises need to be deep cleaned. However, as a guide, we recommend doing it quarterly. We will be organising deep cleaning after hours to minimise disruption to your business operations. They will need to move all your desks, cabinets and equipment to clean behind and under them and reach areas that are not normally accessible.
As a business owner, you need to choose how often your premises need to be deep cleaned. We can conduct a full risk assessment with you to help you make an informed decision. Deep cleaning is usually done over the weekend or during periods of closure.
What are the Benefits of a Deep Clean?
You’re not just removing the top level of dust and dirt; you’re getting to the very core and the structure of your space. This includes cleaning areas that aren’t as frequently seen. This improves the health and welfare of your staff by eliminating the build-up and spread of bacteria. Reduced sickness improves the productivity of course.
In addition, productivity can increase by removing dust mites and allergens that can cause employees to feel drowsy and unproductive. In addition to this, it’s not uncommon for deep cleans to identify emerging health, safety, and hygiene issues that would otherwise go undetected.
