The Office Cleaning Checklist Every Melbourne Business Needs

Your office is often the first physical impression a client has of your business. Beyond appearances, a genuinely clean office reduces sick days, improves staff morale, and ensures you meet basic hygiene obligations as an employer.

Daily Tasks (for high-traffic offices)

  • Vacuuming or mopping all floor areas
  • Emptying all waste bins and replacing liners
  • Cleaning and sanitising bathroom facilities: toilets, basins, mirrors, floors
  • Restocking consumables: hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper
  • Wiping kitchen benchtops, sink, and appliances
  • Front entrance glass and floor wiped

Weekly Tasks

  • Desks and workstations wiped
  • Computer monitors, keyboards, and phones disinfected (high-touch surfaces)
  • Boardroom and meeting rooms: tables polished, chairs wiped
  • Kitchen fridge: wipe interior, discard expired items
  • Window sills and ledges dusted

The High-Touch Surfaces That Matter Most

Research consistently shows these surfaces carry the most bacteria in office environments:

  • Keyboards (often dirtier than a toilet seat)
  • Shared phones
  • Door handles and push plates
  • Light switches
  • Lift buttons
  • Kitchen taps and fridge handles

These should be disinfected at least weekly, daily during cold and flu season.
