B
He is sometimes lazy during the cleaning time every Friday of the week. So, the workplace is often messy before the cleaning day.

Answer

Both are OK for the use of "the". To me, A sounds more natural. 
Also, it sounds a bit un-natural to say "every Friday of the week" - You can just say "He is sometimes lazy during cleaning time every Friday."
