"How often should we clean our building?" It's a question we hear often from business owners, property managers and office admins and the answer depends on your industry, foot traffic and the expectations of your employees and customers.

At Commercial Cleaning of Idaho, we help local businesses build custom cleaning schedules that are practical, affordable and aligned with their unique needs.

Office Spaces
Most general office environments benefit from professional cleaning two to five times per week. Areas like restrooms, break rooms and entryways tend to get the most use and require more frequent attention to keep the workspace fresh and clean for employees and visitors alike.

Medical Facilities
In healthcare settings, daily cleaning and sanitizing are essential. Medical offices need strict disinfection protocols to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and maintain compliance with industry regulations. Some high-risk areas may even require multiple cleanings throughout the day.

Schools and Educational Facilities
Schools should be cleaned daily to protect students and staff from common illnesses. During school breaks or before a new semester starts, a deep cleaning service is highly recommended to reset the environment and eliminate any lingering bacteria or allergens.

Banks and Government Offices
High-touch customer-facing locations like banks or public offices often require service three to five times per week. Clean windows, counters and floors contribute to a professional atmosphere and help reduce the spread of germs in frequently visited spaces.

Custom Plans That Fit Your Business
There's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to cleaning. That's why we create personalized plans based on your building type, schedule, traffic volume and budget. Whether you're running a small office or managing a large government facility, we've got you covered.
