Professional Strata Cleaning Services Across Australia
Trusted by 500+ Australian businesses since 1969
55 Years of Commercial Cleaning Excellence — Here's What That Means for Your Building
Associated Cleaning was founded in Brisbane in 1969 with a straightforward purpose — to give Australian businesses a commercial cleaning partner they could genuinely rely on. Today we service 500+ sites across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, the Sunshine Coast, and Moreton Bay — including residential strata buildings, mixed-use developments, and body corporate managed properties.
Strata cleaning is one of the most relationship-driven services we provide. Residents notice. Committees are accountable. Property values are on the line. We understand that — and we’ve built our strata cleaning programs to reflect it.
Associated Cleaning holds ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety) certifications — independently audited and consistently applied across every site we service. We are also BSCAA accredited, Cm3 registered, ISSA members, and a registered Supply Nation supplier. For businesses managing procurement compliance or vendor registration, our documentation is available on request.
CERTIFIED AND ACCREDITED TO THE STANDARDS THAT MATTER
Common Strata Cleaning Challenges — and How We Address Them
After 55 years and 500+ sites, we understand what strata managers and body corporate committees need most. Here are the three things that matter most — and how we deliver them.
✅ Bin rooms, chutes and waste areas — the complaint residents raise first
Odour and overflow in bin rooms, chutes and waste areas generate more common-property complaints than any other single area. We scope chute and bin room washdowns, deodorising, and bin rotation as named line items rather than assumed extras — with Site Supervisor sign-off on every service, so the committee hears it’s done before a resident tells them it isn’t.
✅ Access, keys and security across occupied common property
Strata cleaning happens while residents come and go, and every contractor on site reflects on the committee. Our teams work to your building’s access protocols and by-laws — documented key and fob registers, agreed after-hours servicing windows, and lift, car park and stairwell work timed to low-traffic periods — with induction, insurance and Cm3-verified compliance records available for your contractor files.
✅ Presentation that protects property values
Lobbies, lifts, glass, car parks and pool surrounds are what prospective buyers and tenants see first, and standards drift quietly between committee meetings. We build periodic programs — floor care, lift interiors, glass, car park sweeping, graffiti removal — into the scope of works and audit against it, so presentation is maintained on a schedule rather than after a complaint.
What’s Included in Our Strata Cleaning Service
Our strata cleaning covers the full scope of common area maintenance — tailored to your building’s size, facilities, and resident expectations.
Common Area Cleaning
Comprehensive maintenance for lobby areas, hallway cleaning, stairwell upkeep, lift cleaning, mailbox area care, and entrance cleaning. We ensure all shared spaces reflect the property’s standards and create positive first impressions.
Recreational Facility Cleaning
Professional maintenance for pool areas, gym cleaning, BBQ area upkeep, rooftop terrace care, and communal garden maintenance. We use appropriate cleaning products and equipment for each facility type.
External Building Services
Our external cleaning services include high pressure cleaning of driveways, pathways, and walls, as well as professional window cleaning for a lasting streak free finish. We use state of the art tools and technology to remove built-up dirt and grime from the building exterior, ensuring your strata property always looks its best.
Specialised Strata Services
Comprehensive support including end of lease cleaning, body corporate compliance reports, emergency cleaning response, and periodical cleaning tasks.
How We Make Sure It Actually Happens
Every Associated Cleaning engagement follows the same four-step process — designed so that nothing is assumed, nothing is missed, and you always have someone accountable.
Step 1: Comprehensive Site Assessment
We assess your building’s layout, common areas, communal facilities, and resident expectations — noting any access requirements, security protocols, and committee reporting needs.
Step 2: Tailored Scope of Works
We build a cleaning schedule and scope tailored to your building — daily, several-times-weekly, or periodic servicing designed around your body corporate budget and resident needs.
Step 3: Professional Service Delivery
Your dedicated strata cleaning team delivers to the agreed scope on every visit — familiar with your building, its residents, and its specific requirements.
Step 4: Quality Audits & Communication
Regular site audits, documented service records, and a named account manager keep standards consistently high — with direct communication so any issue is resolved before a resident raises it.
The result? A building that’s consistently presented, a committee that has the records it needs, and residents who notice the difference.

Frequently asked questions about office cleaning services
Strata cleaning is the professional cleaning and maintenance of common areas and shared facilities within a strata property, including lobbies, lifts, stairwells, car parks, windows, and outdoor areas. It is distinct from residential or single-tenancy cleaning in that it must cover multiple shared spaces used by many residents and tenants simultaneously.
How much does strata cleaning cost?
Strata cleaning is quoted per building, based on the number of levels, common areas, shared facilities and servicing frequency — not a flat per-square-metre rate. We provide an itemised quote after a free site assessment, so the committee can see exactly what each line item covers before approving a budget.
How often should strata properties be professionally cleaned? High-traffic common areas typically need daily or weekly cleaning, whilst other areas may require fortnightly or monthly attention. We develop customised schedules based on your property’s specific usage patterns and budget requirements.
How often should strata common areas be cleaned?
Most Australian strata buildings are serviced between three times a week and daily, depending on resident numbers, lift traffic and whether the building has a pool, gym or shared bin room. High-rise buildings with heavy foot traffic generally need daily lobby and lift servicing.
Can you work within our body corporate budget and provide detailed reporting? Yes, we provide comprehensive quotes tailored to body corporate budgets and deliver detailed monthly reports including completed tasks and maintenance observations.
What documentation do you provide for committee meetings?
Every client receives a detailed scope of works plus documented site audits against that scope, along with current insurance and contractor compliance records. Committees use these for meeting papers, resident communications and contractor files.
Can you work around residents and after-hours access rules?
Yes. We work to your building’s by-laws and access protocols, with documented key and fob registers and agreed servicing windows. Lifts, car parks and stairwells are serviced during low-traffic periods to limit disruption to residents.
How do you ensure minimal disruption to residents during cleaning? We schedule cleaning during low-traffic periods, use quiet equipment where possible, and coordinate with building management to avoid conflicts with resident activities.
What’s your experience with high-rise buildings?We have extensive experience with high-rise properties and maintain professional equipment.
How do you ensure consistent quality across all common areas?We use systematic quality control procedures, regular supervisory inspections, and resident feedback systems to maintain consistent standards throughout your property, regardless of size or complexity.
What protocols do you follow for pool and recreational facility cleaning? We follow strict hygiene protocols for pool areas including appropriate chemical-resistant equipment, specialised cleaning agents, and scheduling that allows proper drying times before resident use.
How do you handle resident feedback? We maintain open communication channels with both residents and body corporate committees, providing regular progress reports, addressing concerns promptly, and incorporating feedback into our service improvements.
Do you clean individual apartments or just common areas? Our strata services focus on common areas and shared spaces. However we can arrange individual apartment cleaning, end-of-lease cleaning as required.
Do you clean bin rooms and garbage chutes?
Yes. Bin room washdowns, chute cleaning, deodorising and bin rotation are scoped as named line items rather than treated as extras. These areas generate the highest volume of resident complaints, so they are checked on every service cycle.
How do you handle bathroom and washroom cleaning?We provide comprehensive bathroom cleaning including toilets, sinks, mirrors, sanitary bins, floors, and all fixtures. Our team follows strict hygiene protocols and uses commercial-grade disinfectants to ensure a clean, safe environment.
Do you offer periodic deep cleaning services?Yes, we provide comprehensive periodic cleaning to address specialised cleaning needs that go beyond daily maintenance. This includes window cleaning, grout cleaning, machine scrubbing, and detail cleaning of hard-to-reach areas. These services can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, or as required to maintain your facility at its best.
Do you provide all cleaning supplies and equipment?
Yes, we provide all necessary cleaning supplies and equipment as part of our cleaning service. Consumables such as bathroom and kitchen supplies are available as an add-on to meet your specific needs.
