Office Cleaning Schedule

A clear daily / weekly / monthly cleaning schedule for small offices and shared workspaces. Print it, assign it, done.

Daily, weekly, monthly office tasks

  • Daily — empty kitchen bin, wipe sink and counters, run dishwasher.
  • Weekly — vacuum, wipe meeting tables, clean bathroom, restock supplies.
  • Monthly — fridge clear-out, deep dust, descale kettle and coffee machine.

Rotation that doesn't feel unfair

The generator weights tasks by effort. Nobody ends up with two annoying jobs in the same week. The chart prints clean and clear — stick it in the kitchen and end the debates.

Office cleaning that respects working hours

The trick to a clean small office is to make 90% of the work invisible — done before 9am or after 6pm — and to give the in- hours work to a single named owner per zone (kitchenette, meeting rooms, bathroom). A printed weekly chart with named owners eliminates the "I thought you were doing it" failure mode that kills most office hygiene routines.

The kitchen rule that prevents 80% of complaints

Whoever uses the kitchenette last in the day empties the dish rack, wipes the counter, and runs the dishwasher. Print this rule. Stick it next to the dish rack. It works.

How fairness is calculated

Behind the scenes, every chore gets a numeric weight from its effort (small / medium / large), frequency, and a difficulty modifier for the genuinely unpleasant tasks. The algorithm distributes weight across people, not chore counts — three counter wipes do not equal one toilet scrub, and the schedule respects that. Annoying tasks rotate separately so the same person never gets the bin two weeks running. Full details on the methodology page.

FAQ

How often should an office be cleaned?

Daily for kitchens, bathrooms and bins. Weekly for desks, vacuuming and surfaces. Monthly for windows, deep dust and fridges.

Who's responsible for office cleaning?

It depends. Many small offices rotate basic tasks (kitchen, bins) among staff and outsource the deep clean. A printed schedule prevents the kitchen-sink standoff.

Can I rotate office chores fairly between staff?

Yes. The generator distributes tasks fairly across team members each week and prints a chart you can stick in the kitchen.

Do small offices need a paid cleaner?

Below ~10 people, a rota with a paid weekly bathroom-and-floor service is usually enough. Above ~10, a daily contract becomes worth it.

How do I get colleagues to follow the office rota?

Visible printed chart, named owners, and management actually mentioning it — exactly like at home. Anonymous reminders are ignored; named accountability works.

What gets cleaned daily vs weekly in an office?

Daily: bins, kitchen surfaces, desk crumbs. Weekly: bathroom deep, floors, conference rooms, fridge contents check.
