House Cleaning

The Top Areas that Require Regular Cleaning and Disinfecting in Your Office

When you think about what makes a successful business thrive, you might list strong leadership, skilled employees, a great product or service, and clear communication. But there’s something just as important that often flies under the radar—a clean and healthy workspace.

At Kustom Kleaning, we know from experience that the condition of your office environment can dramatically impact your team’s productivity, morale, and overall well-being. And while a tidy office may seem like a small detail, the benefits ripple out across your entire organization.

Whether you run a small local firm or a bustling corporate office in Wake or Johnston County, keeping your space clean isn’t just about appearances—it’s about performance.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key areas we focus on during office cleanings, explain why they matter, and show how Kustom Kleaning commercial cleaning services helps businesses like yours shine, inside and out.

The True Value of a Clean Workspace

Before diving into the nitty-gritty of what we clean and how, let’s take a moment to understand why office cleanliness matters so much.

First Impressions Count

The moment a client, vendor, or job candidate walks into your building, they’re forming opinions. A well-kept, fresh-smelling space conveys professionalism and care. A dusty lobby or a messy restroom? Not so much.

Employee Health and Wellness

Germs, allergens, and bacteria love shared workspaces. Without regular cleaning and disinfection, your office could become a breeding ground for illness—leading to more sick days, lower morale, and even decreased productivity.

Enhanced Productivity

A clean space is a more focused space. Studies show that employees are more productive, more focused, and even happier when they work in environments that are well-maintained and clutter-free.

Workplace Morale

Taking care of your employees’ environment shows them you value their well-being. A clean office tells your team: “We care.”

Kustom Kleaning’s Approach to Office Cleaning

We know that every office is different. That’s why we don’t offer one-size-fits-all services. Our cleaning plans are customized based on your needs, your space, and your schedule.

But no matter the industry or size of your office, there are a few areas we always prioritize because they have the biggest impact on health, cleanliness, and professionalism.

Let’s take a closer look.

Desks and Workstations: Where Germs Linger

While desks are often seen as personal spaces, they’re actually some of the most bacteria-laden surfaces in the office—especially when they’re shared or used daily without disinfection.

Studies have shown that the average office desk can have more germs than a toilet seat. Think about everything that gets touched: the keyboard, mouse, phone, chair armrests, drawer handles, even the coffee mug that’s left there overnight.

How We Clean It:

At Kustom Kleaning, we use safe, effective disinfectants to wipe down:

Desktops
Computer peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor edges)
Office phones and headsets
Drawer handles and file cabinets
Chair backs and armrests

We’re especially careful with electronic equipment, using cleaning methods that protect delicate components while eliminating bacteria.

For shared desks or hot desks, our routine cleaning keeps these high-touch areas germ-free, supporting a healthier workspace.

Common Areas: High Traffic, High Priority

Common areas like break rooms, lobbies, conference rooms, and lounge spaces get constant foot traffic and regular use by multiple employees. They’re also where people tend to let their guard down—grabbing coffee, chatting, or sharing meals.

Without consistent cleaning, these areas can become messy, unsanitary, and a hotspot for cross-contamination.

Our Focus Includes:

Tables and chairs
Light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles
Shared appliances (microwave, fridge, coffee makers)
Water coolers and vending machines
Floors and trash bins

We wipe down and sanitize all high-touch surfaces, disinfect eating surfaces, and keep the floors spotless. We also handle garbage removal and odor control, helping to maintain a pleasant environment where your staff feels comfortable gathering.

Restrooms: Cleanliness That Speaks Volumes

Ask anyone—nothing ruins a workplace experience faster than a dirty bathroom. Whether it’s clients visiting for a meeting or your team members on a lunch break, restroom hygiene matters.

Not only is it a reflection of your company’s standards, but it’s also a health issue. Bathrooms are naturally prone to bacteria buildup, moisture issues, and unpleasant odors if not properly cleaned.

Kustom Kleaning’s Restroom Cleaning Includes:

Disinfecting toilets, urinals, and sinks
Cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces and fixtures
Polishing mirrors and chrome
Mopping and disinfecting floors
Refilling soap, toilet paper, and paper towels
Odor neutralization

We know that restrooms need frequent and thorough cleaning, and we tailor our cleaning schedule accordingly—sometimes multiple times per day depending on your office’s foot traffic.

Office Equipment and Shared Technology: Often Forgotten, Always Important

While you might think of copiers, printers, and phones as harmless, these shared tools are major culprits in the spread of germs. Because they’re often touched by multiple people—but rarely cleaned—equipment like these can harbor bacteria for days.

We Clean and Disinfect:

Printers, copiers, and scanners
Fax machines and landline phones
Shared laptops, tablets, or presentation tools
Door handles, supply cabinets, and drawer pulls

At Kustom Kleaning, we use gentle but effective disinfectants that remove germs without damaging sensitive surfaces. This helps prevent the spread of illness while keeping your devices in top working order.

Floors: Your Office’s Foundation

Floors might not be the first thing people notice when they’re clean—but they’re definitely the first thing they notice when they’re not.

Dirty carpets and stained tiles not only look bad, but they also trap allergens and bacteria that affect indoor air quality.

Our Floor Care Services Include:

Daily vacuuming of carpets
Spot-cleaning stains
Mopping and buffing hard floors
Specialty cleaning for high-traffic zones
Deep carpet cleaning (available as an add-on)

By keeping your floors fresh and clean, we help your office stay safer and more visually appealing—no matter how many feet pass through each day.

Entryways, Windows, and Reception Areas: First Impressions Matter

Your front lobby and entryways set the tone for everyone who walks through your doors. Smudged windows, dusty counters, and sticky floors can be instant turn-offs.

Our Cleaning Includes:

Wiping down glass doors and windows
Dusting reception desks and entry counters
Polishing door handles and trim
Cleaning entry mats and vacuuming rugs
Disinfecting front desk phones, pens, and surfaces

These small touches make a big difference—especially in spaces where clients or customers will be spending time.
