"Is the area regularly cleaned?" --> using "limpiar"

"Is the area regularly cleaned?" --> using "limpiar"

I am trying to figure out how to translate the following: "Is the area cleaned regularly?" into Spanish.

I cannot use the active voice because the question is not directed at any one person in particular (ie I cannot say "Have you been cleaning the area regularly?" or some form thereof because it is not clear who exactly would be in charge of cleaning).

My original translation was very literal and is: "¿Está limpiado regularmente el área?", however I've never heard the past participle of 'limpiar' used in this way before.

My next guess is: "¿Se limpia el área con frecuencia?" in an attempt to keep the question general & without pointing fingers at any one individual.

Are either of these correct?
