Strata Cleaning Services

According to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) a whopping 2.5 million Australians now live in apartments or townhouses.

So, with more than 10% of the Australian population now living in shared spaces, it should come as no surprise that Strata cleaning is one of the fastest-growing facets of the commercial cleaning industry.

But what exactly is strata cleaning, what does it cover, and how do you find a strata cleaning service for your apartment or shared living space? This article will run through what’s covered under the umbrella of strata cleaning services, what you can expect when you hire a strata cleaning service, how often they should be cleaning your space, and what you can do to make an informed decision with your body corporate.

Different types of strata cleaning services

When we think of strata cleaning services, it’s easy to just think of large apartment blocks with pools, gymnasiums, and shared living spaces that invariably need cleaning and upkeep to keep them looking their best. However, there are a myriad of different building types and spaces that are covered under the umbrella of strata cleaning services. Some of the most popular spaces that are usually covered include:

• Apartment blocks
• Townhouses
• Shared commercial spaces
• Retirement villages
• Serviced Apartments
• Hotels & resorts
• Business parks

Given that all these types of properties share spaces, there will it inevitably be a tug-of-war over who should be keeping the space clean and whose responsibility it is to take care of these various shared spaces. In general, most of these spaces will have a body corporate which governs the cleaning and upkeep of shared spaces. The body corporate is responsible for finding, interviewing, and hiring strata cleaning services that are administered on a regular basis so residents and tenants can enjoy these spaces.
