Guide: office cleaning in Zurich

Office cleaning needs a task list tailored to how the premises are used: workstations, kitchens and washrooms have different needs. This guide helps you select an external service. PUTZIO offers only apartment cleaning in Zurich and the supported municipalities up to Rapperswil-Jona at CHF 40/h, not office cleaning.

Define tasks by area

  • Clean cleared desks, shelves and accessible floors.
  • Kitchenette: worktops, sink and appliance exteriors; agree interior cleaning separately.
  • Include washrooms, door handles and other frequently touched surfaces.
  • Agree waste separation, bin emptying and disposal arrangements.

Organise the schedule and access

Set frequency and time windows according to occupancy, visitors and soiling. Agree access, keys, alarm arrangements and a responsible contact. Meeting rooms may need different time windows from kitchens used every day.

Hygiene and delicate equipment

Keep washroom cleaning cloths separate from kitchen cloths. Agree products suitable for floors and surfaces and follow manufacturer guidance. Cleaning does not automatically mean disinfection: any specialist hygiene procedures must be explicitly agreed. Do not move equipment, cables or confidential papers without agreement.

Choose an external office cleaning service

  • Request a written task list covering frequency, exclusions and materials.
  • Compare total cost, extra work, contract length and cancellation terms.
  • Clarify responsibility for damage, key management and confidential areas.
  • Agree how work is checked, problems reported and absences covered.

Office premises versus your home

Office jobs cannot be booked with PUTZIO. For your private home, the linked apartment cleaning page explains the service that is actually offered.

Frequently asked questions

How often should an office be cleaned?

It depends on occupancy and use. Agree an appropriate schedule for washrooms, kitchen and workstations separately.

Are computers and files included?

Not without explicit agreement. Clarify suitable equipment cleaning methods and securely store confidential papers.

Can cleaning take place outside office hours?

Agree time windows and access with an external provider. PUTZIO does not offer office appointments.
