A practical cleaning plan for your workstations, shared spaces, amenities and floors, scheduled around the way your office operates.
Commercial office cleaning planned around your workplace.
An office can look tidy while high-use areas, kitchens, amenities and floor edges quietly fall behind. Green Commercial Cleaning plans office cleaning around the way your Melbourne workplace is occupied: how many people use it, when teams arrive, which rooms receive visitors and what access is available outside business hours.
The first step is to define the scope. A small consulting office may need a focused weekly visit. A busy CBD workplace with meeting rooms, breakout areas and daily visitors may need several visits a week or a daily routine. Separating routine tasks from periodic work keeps the plan clear and makes it easier to compare quotes on the same basis.
A regular plan may cover:
Not every task belongs on every visit. Internal glass, carpet steam cleaning, detailed floor work, high dusting and a full office reset can be placed on a monthly, quarterly or one-off schedule. This makes the recurring service easier to audit without ignoring slower-cycle maintenance.
Frequency should follow site usage rather than a fixed formula. Daily cleaning is often appropriate where kitchens and amenities support a larger team, where client-facing areas need to be ready each morning, or where hybrid attendance creates sharp midweek peaks. Weekly or fortnightly office cleaning may be enough for smaller, lightly used premises.
During the scope review, we consider:
If the office layout or attendance changes, the scope should change with it. A scheduled review helps prevent an old checklist from becoming disconnected from the current workplace.
Office cleaning services need different logistics at different scales. In a small office, the same cleaner may be able to complete the full checklist in one sequence. A larger or multi-floor workplace may need zones, priority rooms and a clearer handover between team members.
Shared commercial buildings add another layer. The tenancy may be responsible for its own office while a building contractor manages common areas. The written scope should make that boundary explicit, including who handles lift lobbies, shared bathrooms, waste rooms and loading areas.
Cleaning outside normal hours can reduce interruption, but only when access is carefully documented. Before service begins, the site contact can provide the agreed entry point, alarm or concierge process, key or swipe-card rules, restricted rooms and the procedure for securing the premises at departure.
For Melbourne CBD, Docklands and Southbank offices, access planning may also include a building induction, contractor registration, lift bookings, loading-bay time limits and parking constraints. These details affect both the feasible time window and the quote, so they are best resolved during the site review.
Quality is easier to manage when the expectation is written down. The scope identifies the rooms, tasks and frequency, while a nominated contact provides one route for feedback or changes. If a task is reported, it can be checked against the current scope rather than relying on assumptions.
Useful review points include high-traffic entrances, kitchens after peak attendance, bathroom presentation, bin and recycling volumes, floor edges, meeting rooms and any recurring request from staff. Where a task needs a different frequency, the scope can be adjusted instead of repeatedly treating it as an exception.
Office cleaning cost is shaped by more than square metres. Two offices of the same size can require different labour because of occupancy, bathrooms, kitchens, furniture density, floor finishes, access restrictions and the number of visits each week.
The indicative figures on this page are a starting point, not a universal rate. A written site quote should identify what is included, how often each task occurs, the minimum visit, whether consumables are separate and which periodic services are optional. See the commercial cleaning pricing guide for the main cost factors and service examples.

The scope is agreed for the site. It can cover workstations, reception, meeting rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, bins, vacuuming, mopping and shared touchpoints. Periodic tasks such as carpet extraction or internal glass can be scheduled separately.
The right frequency depends on headcount, visitor traffic, amenities and how the office is used. Busy workplaces may need daily attention, while a smaller office may suit one to three visits per week. We use the site review to separate frequent tasks from periodic work.
Yes, early-morning, evening and weekend time windows can be discussed. Access instructions, alarms, building rules and restricted rooms are agreed before the first service.
Yes. CBD work is planned around loading zones, parking, concierge procedures, lift access and building inductions. Providing those details at quote stage helps create a workable schedule.
Pricing reflects the floor area, number of rooms and amenities, visit frequency, floor types, access window and any periodic services. The figures shown are a guide; the written quote confirms the scope and price for your workplace.
