Cubicles are the most cleaned yet least well-cleaned surfaces in most offices. A proper nightly protocol covers surfaces that daytime employees never touch and periodic detail work that keeps fabric panels and shared surfaces looking new.
Nightly Cubicle Standard
- Wipe desktop, keyboard tray, and monitor stand.
- Sanitize phone, keyboard, and mouse (screen-safe wipe).
- Dust monitor top and back edge.
- Empty desk-side trash and replace liner as needed.
- Vacuum cubicle floor including under desk.
- Straighten chair; do not disturb papers or personal items.
Weekly Add-Ons
- Detail dust chair base and casters.
- Wipe metal file cabinet exteriors.
- Vacuum cubicle fabric panels with brush attachment.
Quarterly
- Extract cubicle carpet.
- Wet-wipe monitor arms and full monitor housings.
- Detail vacuum fabric panels including under-desk edges.
Personal Item Handling
Never move family photos, papers, or personal items. Wipe around them or under-wipe if the surface must be cleaned. Post an opt-in program for deep-cleaning individual desks by request.
Cubicle Programs with Named Supervisors
Every account has a supervisor who walks the floor weekly with a checklist you approve.
