When Should You Do the Office Moving Cleaning?
About a month before your planned corporate relocation, you should make sure you arrange for office move-out cleaning services. Schedule your office cleaning after your planned move but prior to your commercial lease-end. Cleaning your commercial space may be required to get your security deposit back.
Should You Hire Commercial Cleaning Services?
If you are a sole proprietor with small office space, you may not need to hire an office cleaning service. You may have the time, be capable of cleaning your office yourself, and save money in your office moving budget. Large companies will likely want to hire some sort of commercial office cleaning move-out services.
