A decision on whether the O and M season goes ahead will be made by the board on June 29, but the league hasn't had any official news on what health procedures would need to be followed.
The Border Mail contacted Border Cleaning Services, which looks after a host of organisations, such as hospitals and schools, to gauge what would be involved if the strongest guidelines were applied.
"It's a deep clean and deep disinfectant for the entire space," owner Paul Henry said.
"The most important thing is to make sure you're hitting all the nooks and crannies and all the high-touch points where people will put their hands, like door handles, light switches, phones.
"We use a hospital-grade disinfectant that has been shown to kill pathogens. Most disinfectants will do that, but we've got the top-of-the-line stuff, just to be sure."
Mr Henry says it would take one person approximately an hour to clean an area the size of the Albury Football Club home change room, which is the typical size of an O and M club.
Another person would naturally halve that time, but given the confined space, too many cleaners would only slow the process as they look to avoid each other.
A one-hour clean would cost $40 during the week, but that would push to $60 on a Saturday and $80 on Sunday with the double time.
"You mop the floors, you wipe down the shower area with the disinfectant as well, it's basically just a really thorough once-over of all the surfaces," Mr Henry said of the procedure.
Once a room is cleaned, players would be allowed back in immediately.
The Border and North East has been largely unaffected by positive coronavirus cases in the past two months, but Mr Henry says that has no impact on the service provided.
"We haven't changed our methodology at all, the way we're cleaning at the moment is not that different to the way we would typically clean (in non-COVID-19 times)," he said.
"If I was a player, I'd want to have the room disinfected.
"It's probably harder to monitor the (O and M) players than it is for the AFL, so to feel a little more secure from the players' perspective in the sheds, a deep clean would be required."

It's expected most commercial operators in the region would have access to COVID-19 cleaning protocols.
Clubs would have to foot the bill for any professional cleaning.
The Victorian Government will make COVID-19 announcements on Monday, where sporting officials will be hoping there's clarity on what cleaning is required.
