Common property cleaning

Strata cleaning for every common area

Common property is the part of the scheme every owner shares, and it is the first thing residents, buyers and tenants see. A regular strata clean usually covers these areas.

  • Letterbox and intercom areas
  • Floors mopped or vacuumed
  • Ledges, furniture and signage dusted

Lifts

  • Corridor carpets vacuumed
  • Cobwebs removed within safe reach

Bin rooms

  • Spills and marks cleaned
  • Bin lids and handles wiped
  • Loose rubbish picked up

Car parks and driveways

  • Oil and tyre marks noted for treatment
  • Pressure washing on a set rotation

Shared facilities

  • Pool surrounds and BBQ areas
  • Common toilets and change rooms
  • Gyms and resident lounges
  • Outdoor furniture wiped

Every building is different. We walk the site with you and list each area and its frequency in the quote.

Outside the building

Body corporate external cleaning

Paths, driveways and walkways take the weather. Periodic external cleaning keeps them safer underfoot and keeps the building presentable.

External jobs are quoted on their own or added to a regular clean on a rotation, such as every six or twelve months.

Wash water from outdoor cleaning must stay out of stormwater drains in Queensland, so drainage is checked before any wash is booked.

  • Pressure washingPaths, driveways, car parks, bin areas and pool surrounds. See pressure washing.
  • Common area glassEntry glass, ground-level windows and glass balustrades on common walkways. See window cleaning.
  • Cobwebs and dustWalkway ceilings, eaves and light fittings within safe reach.
  • After building worksA clean-up after painting, waterproofing or repairs to common property. See builders cleans.

For committees and strata managers

Strata cleaning your committee can approve

Committees need to compare quotes on the same terms and know what they are paying for. Our quotes are written for that.

Quotes can be addressed to the body corporate, care of your strata manager, ready to table at a committee meeting.

  • A written scopeEvery area and how often it is cleaned, so quotes can be compared line by line.
  • Month-to-month serviceNo lock-in contract and no cancellation fees.
  • Insurance and safety paperwork$20M public liability, with a certificate of currency, SWMS and safety data sheets on request.
  • Resident-friendly schedulingNoisy work such as machine scrubbing and pressure washing is booked for reasonable hours, in line with your by-laws.
  • Photo reports when agreedService notes and photos after each visit when they are part of the scope.
  • Issues followed upRaise a missed task and we review it against the scope and arrange follow-up.

Caretakers and contractors

Already have a caretaker?

Many Queensland buildings have a caretaker who handles routine cleaning. That does not always cover everything.

Queensland's body corporate legislation does not set a list of caretaker duties. The schedule of duties in the caretaking agreement does. Common property work the agreement does not cover stays with the body corporate.

That is where a cleaning contractor usually fits: periodic jobs such as pressure washing, high dusting or a clean-up after building works. We quote on the work outside the caretaker's duties, not over the top of them.

Who is responsible for common property?

In Queensland, a body corporate must maintain common property in good condition. For schemes under the Standard Module, the duty is in section 180.

Your community management statement shows which regulation module applies to your scheme. Your caretaking agreement shows what the caretaker does.

Cleaning frequency

How often should common areas be cleaned?

Lot numbers, lifts, foot traffic and facilities set the schedule. These are common starting points. Your site visit sets the real number.

Busy areas such as lobbies, lifts and bin rooms often need more visits than the rest of the building. Periodic work is listed separately so the committee can see it.

Common starting points for strata cleaning frequency
Area or buildingCommon starting point
Small townhouse complexFortnightly to weekly
Apartment building with a liftWeekly to twice a week
Large or high-rise buildingSeveral times a week to daily
Bin roomsWeekly, often timed with collection day
Pressure washing paths and car parksEvery 6 to 12 months
Common area windowsQuarterly to six-monthly

Experience

Strata and commercial cleaning since 2015

We have cleaned the common areas of a large strata building in Runaway Bay: hallways, the gym and rubbish removal, working within the building's security access.

CleansePro has cleaned Gold Coast commercial sites since 2015, from offices in Southport, Runaway Bay and Paradise Point to builders cleans for Clarkes, Hipwood and Sydney Tools.

Not a single scheduled Clarkes clean missed.

Before you enquire

Body corporate cleaning FAQs

What does body corporate cleaning include?

Regular cleaning of common property: lobbies, lifts, stairwells, corridors, bin rooms, car parks and shared facilities such as pool surrounds, BBQ areas and gyms. External work such as pressure washing and common area glass can be added on a rotation.

Have you cleaned strata buildings before?

Yes. We have cleaned the common areas of a large strata building in Runaway Bay, including hallways, the gym and rubbish removal, working within the building's security access.

How often should strata common areas be cleaned?

Small townhouse complexes often start fortnightly or weekly. Apartment buildings with a lift usually need weekly or twice-weekly cleaning, and large buildings several times a week. We confirm the schedule at a free site visit.

Who is responsible for cleaning common property in Queensland?

The body corporate must maintain common property in good condition. Day-to-day cleaning is usually done by a caretaker or by a contractor the body corporate engages. Your community management statement and any caretaking agreement set out the details.

We already have a caretaker. Can you still help?

Yes. Queensland's legislation does not list caretaker duties, so check the schedule of duties in the caretaking agreement. We can quote on work it does not cover, such as pressure washing, high dusting or a clean-up after building works.

Do you do body corporate external cleaning?

Yes. We pressure wash paths, driveways, car parks, bin areas and pool surrounds, clean common area glass, and remove cobwebs within safe reach. Queensland law keeps wash water out of stormwater drains, so drainage is checked at the site visit.

Can you work around residents?

Yes. Routine cleaning is scheduled for quieter times, and noisy work such as pressure washing is booked for reasonable hours in line with your by-laws and access rules.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. We offer month-to-month service with no lock-in contract and no cancellation fees. The quote sets out the scope and frequency for your building.

Can you provide insurance and safety documents for our strata manager?

Yes. CleansePro carries $20M public liability cover. A certificate of currency, SWMS and safety data sheets are available on request, and our cleaners are police-checked.

Do you clean commercial and industrial strata?

Yes. Office parks, industrial unit complexes and mixed-use buildings have common property too. See commercial cleaning for the work inside individual premises.
