The other thing I would mention is for the most part the only reason the cleaners go into offices is to empty trash baskets. I ended up removing mine as it rarely had trash in it anyways (sensitive items were shredded, bottles, etc I take home, etc.). The cleaners rarely go in there. They CAN, but it’s one less office to check.

We have a dedicated cleaning person. Once a month they do a deep clean, so we have to all empty our desks. But we are also in an open office environment and don’t have purely dedicated desks, although a lot of us sit in the same place every day. So it is nice to clean in case others have sat or touched the keyboards.

I don't have a company office right now (full time telecommute). When I had one, I placed the trash can outside the door and locked it on the way out. No need to enter. We had a professional thief with a TS clearance cleaning on my floor in 1993. He stole credit cards including mine. Ran up $40,000. Since I was a "victim", I took the time to track him down, notified "security". They put a surveillance camera in an office, left a credit card tucked under a blotter and had video of the theft. The guy got off with a hand slap. Perhaps being black, gay and 220 lbs of body builder figured into the lack of spine in the district attorney's office.

I always moved the trash outside the door too. I didn’t want them in my office, poking around in my mess.
