When do they clean your office?

[rubytue]

We moved offices last week. They apparently clean in the middle of the day. I'm finding it very odd.

Three times in 2 days I've been unable to use the restroom bc they were cleaning it.

They are mopping/buffing the tile while ppl are walking around. Someone slipped yesterday.

They vacuumed my cube at 11am.

I've never worked somewhere where they cleaned before 5pm. Am I the odd one?

There is one guy that goes around all day cleaning. He usually does the bathroom downstairs in the morning and the bathroom upstairs in the late afternoon.

That's weird. Ours are after 5.

Overnight, not sure what time exactly.

Usually they'll come by for the garbage sometime between 7-9, and vacuuming offices is somewhere between 10-12. Bathrooms get cleaned throughout the day, and tiles and other surfaces in common spaces are cleaned between 6-7 (when the vast majority of lawyers are still here).

Sounds exactly like my office. It is extremely annoying. The problem is, they're too cheap to pay them to come in over night, so they're here during the day. Someone slipped here a few weeks ago. Fortunately she was ok.

They recently moved office cleaning to during the day. I am not sure about vacuuming though, since that would be rather disruptive. Even coming to get my garbage during the day is a little annoying.

Bathrooms are everyday at 10:30.

Regular area office and lab is throughout the week, but always during the day.

Office/cube cleaning is Tuesdays during the work day. Usually between 9-11am.

Restrooms were on a 1x week cleaning, now with BRAC we get them 3x a week, MWF.

I don't mind.

I find it awkward. I feel guilty that they are cleaning up after me. I guess I'm going to have to get use to it or my cube will never be vacuumed. I can't wave them off forever. Lol

And with the vacuuming, it's totally the awkwardness, not the disturbance.

Trash and vacuuming are over night. We have student workers who do most of that. They clean the bathrooms over night then again between 2-3pm. It seems like once a week I try to use the bathroom, and it's closed for cleaning.

[lishie]

All during the work day at every place I've worked at. I hate it.

[pamela]

all day long. They start with the bathroom, move on to cube trash, then random assortment of other cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, windows, etc).

When I worked for super big company the cleaners came in at about 7pm every night.

Now that I work for super small company I hired a cleaning company that comes in every other weekend when no one is here.

[glynn2009]

Weekend or after 5 on Friday.

[cole]

During the day. It's controlled access so cleaning people can only get in when staff is here.

Since I work on a secure gov't campus, our cleaning crew comes during business hours. And they always seem to clean the ladies bathroom (yes, singular) on our floor when I need to use it in the afternoon.

Nope, both buildings that my firm has been in since I've worked here have been cleaned after 5pm or after 6pm.

[ckinla]

during the day is so odd! Our crew comes in after work - usually around 7.

[ijack]

during the day and after. they clean the bathrooms once a day around lunch and then clean the kitchen area as well. big stuff (mopping, trash and vacuuming) is done after hours.

[gt7301b]

They clean the bathrooms on my floor from 8:30-9:30. It pisses me off (hehehe), as that is about the time my coffee hits me and I have to walk down stairs or hold it. The cleaning lady closes the bathroom and yells at you if you go in while the bathroom is closed.

They pickup the trash at odd hrs of the day. Most of the time it is before I eat my lunch, which also annoys me.

[dexteroni]

Some stuff was done during the day - emptying wastebaskets, periodic restroom cleaning, etc. Vacuuming was done at 6pm ON THE DOT, so if you were still working and trying to make a phone call at that time, too bad.
