A practical daily, weekly and monthly checklist for offices in Mbombela, the Highveld and the wider Lowveld. Print it, hand it to your team, or hand it to us.

Why a checklist matters

A written checklist turns cleaning from a favour into a standard. It protects staff health, keeps your premises audit-ready and stops the “I thought someone else did it” problem that quietly damages your brand.

Daily tasks (every working day)

  • Empty and reline bins in offices, kitchens and washrooms.
  • Wipe and disinfect high-touch points: door handles, light switches, lift buttons, shared keyboards, printer panels.
  • Clean and restock washrooms: toilets, urinals, basins, mirrors, hand soap, sanitiser, paper towel, toilet paper.
  • Kitchen and canteen: wipe counters, sinks, appliance exteriors, tables and chairs; run and empty dishwashers.
  • Damp-mop hard floors in reception, kitchens and washrooms; spot-clean spills throughout the building.
  • Vacuum reception, boardroom and any high-traffic carpeted areas.
  • Tidy and wipe reception desk, glass entry doors and fingerprint-prone surfaces.

Weekly tasks

  • Vacuum all offices and carpets, including under desks where accessible.
  • Damp-wipe desks, chairs, cabinets and skirting boards.
  • Full washroom deep clean: descale toilets, urinals and taps; disinfect tiles and cubicle partitions.
  • Clean internal glass, partitions and mirrors.
  • Wipe electronics: phones, monitors, printer bodies (with electronics-safe product).
  • Empty and sanitise recycling and general waste containers.

Monthly tasks

  • Machine-scrub or buff hard floors; strip and re-seal where needed.
  • Clean high-level surfaces: light fittings, air vents, ceiling fans, tops of cupboards and picture rails.
  • Dust blinds and clean window sills and frames.
  • Spot-clean upholstery on reception and boardroom chairs.
  • Inspect and service washroom hygiene units (sanitary bins, air-care, seat sanitisers).

Quarterly & annual tasks

  • Professional carpet and upholstery deep clean.
  • Interior and exterior window cleaning (add gutter and solar-panel cleaning where relevant).
  • Kitchen canopy, extraction and grease-trap cleaning (schedule per SANS 10400-W and insurance requirements).
  • Curtain, blind and fabric partition cleaning.
  • Full disinfection / fogging after flu season or any outbreak.

Sign-off & accountability

Every clean should be dated, signed and filed, digitally or on paper. If an auditor, insurer or health inspector asks “when was this last cleaned?”, you should be able to answer in seconds.
