How Often Should High Dusting Be Done?

Most restaurants, bars, gyms and medical offices need above-eye-level cleaning every three months. Offices, retail, schools and churches usually need it every six to twelve months, and warehouses every six to twelve months by zone. Grease, lint, humidity and visibility push schedules shorter.

Start with a reset

If overhead surfaces have not been cleaned in years, begin with an initial restoration cleaning. After that, regular maintenance visits are faster and less expensive.

Frequently asked questions

Is once a year enough?

For low-traffic offices and warehouses, often yes. Food service and fitness facilities usually need quarterly service.
