Law Office Cleaning in Cincinnati

What law office cleaning covers

• Reception and the waiting area where clients sit before an appointment
• The conference table and the glass, ready for the next meeting
• Desks dusted around the files, with nothing moved or straightened
• Fingerprints taken off the entrance glass and the interior office windows
• The kitchenette and restroom inside the suite, if it has them
• Bins emptied under the desks and in the conference room

What is usually not included

• Anything to do with documents. Paper is not moved, sorted, stacked or filed, and the shred bin is left for the firm to handle.
• The building's lobby, elevators and hallways. In a leased suite those are normally covered by the landlord's own contractor, not by yours.
• The server closet and the equipment in it. That door normally stays locked and off the route.

When to book law office cleaning

Book this when the space holds client files or patient records. Keys, hours and insurance are agreed up front, the same as any commercial contract.

How long it takes

A suite of a few offices is a short visit, and it normally runs once the last client has gone. Which doors stay closed decides a lot of it: a locked office is skipped, not cleaned around.

What makes the price go up

• How many private offices there are, instead of one open floor
• Glass. Glass walls, glass doors and a glass conference room are all hand work
• A certificate of insurance naming the firm, and whatever paperwork the building wants on file for after-hours access
• How many clients come through the waiting area in a day. It shows on the floor and on the glass

What to ask before you book

• Can you send me a certificate of insurance with our firm's name on it?
• How do you get in after hours? Do you need a key, or does the building let you in?
• What do you do with the papers on a desk? They have to be left exactly as they are.

What law office cleaning looks like in Cincinnati

Cincinnati is built on hillsides above the Ohio River, and much of it is old brick: narrow century homes with tall ceilings, wood floors, ornate trim and basements underneath. Winters are cold and the furnace runs for months. Summers are humid, and the basements under these houses hold that damp.

Tall ceilings put crown molding, transoms and light fixtures out of reach without a ladder, and carved woodwork holds dust that a cloth alone skips. Months of furnace heat spread fine dust through the whole house, and street salt tracked in over winter dulls hardwood if it sits on the floor.
