Strata and common area cleaning in Melbourne
Melbourne's commercial cleaning demand splits between the CBD and Docklands office towers, the dense small-business strips of Richmond, Fitzroy and Brunswick, and the large industrial estates through Dandenong, Truganina and the west.
You need a cleaner who can get into your Melbourne site, on the hours the building allows, at a price you can defend. That's a shortlist problem, not a search problem — so start with what's specific to Melbourne.
What's different about Melbourne
Melbourne's heritage strip-shop tenancies often have timber and tessellated tile floors that need surface-specific products, so confirm your cleaner has worked with the floor type before signing.

Strata and common area cleaning in Melbourne: common questions
- Who signs the cleaning contract for a strata building?
- Usually the owners corporation acting through the strata manager or committee, following a quote comparison. Individual owners cannot generally engage a common-area cleaner on their own.
- What is a reasonable term for a strata cleaning contract?
- Twelve months with a review is common, and many committees prefer a shorter initial term so they can test service quality. Check any automatic rollover clause before signing.
- Is gardening included?
- Usually not. Cleaners typically handle blowing and sweeping of hard surfaces adjacent to gardens, while mowing and pruning sit with a separate grounds contractor.
