Skip to content Strata cleaning makes a huge difference to how our shared residential and mixed-use buildings run – and by that we mean day in and day out. When the common areas are clean, safe and well maintained it really does impact how people feel about living or working there, as well as how the property is viewed by visitors and potentially by anyone looking to buy.
Over the years we’ve worked with loads of strata managed properties and we know that strata cleaning is a whole lot more than just making things look nice. It’s actually a major player in safety, hygiene, tenant satisfaction and long-term property value – all of which are very closely connected.
Strata cleaning refers to the professional cleaning services we provide to strata managed properties like apartment complexes, residential buildings and mixed-use developments. These properties have shared living spaces and communal areas that get used every day by residents, tenants and sometimes businesses.
Strata cleaning typically involves cleaning areas like:
Foyers and entrance areas that everyone sees as soon as they arrive
Hallways, stairwells and lifts that take a real pounding from foot traffic
Shared facilities and amenities that are used all the time
Car parks and parking areas that can get messy quickly
Outdoor areas and hard surfaces that get exposed to the elements
This is way more than just standard residential cleaning. Strata cleaning is carried out on a regular basis, following a proper cleaning schedule to keep hygiene standards up and manage high foot traffic. We want to keep the property clean, safe and looking its best at all times.
At Skyline Contracting we provide tailored strata cleaning services that are specifically designed for the layout, usage and needs of each individual strata complex we look after.
Strata cleaning gets often gets lumped in with general or domestic cleaning but the scope and responsibility are completely different.
Strata properties involve shared spaces used by loads of people, which means:
Higher foot traffic and wear and tear
A bigger focus on safety and hygiene because loads of people are using the same areas
More regular and thorough cleaning to keep everything up to scratch
Clear accountability for the body corporate and maintenance committee
A professional strata cleaning company uses trained staff, specialist equipment and proven cleaning processes to properly look after these environments. This includes keeping high-traffic areas clean, tidying up outdoor spaces and keeping shared facilities to a consistent standard.
Regular strata cleaning really helps prevent small issues becoming bigger problems over time, which in turn can save you money on long-term maintenance costs and protect the overall value of the property.
Guidance from Safe Work Australia outlines the importance of maintaining safe shared environments and managing slip and trip hazards in communal areas.
From what we see on site, strata cleaning has a real impact on how a strata managed property performs, both practically and financially.
Shared living spaces like foyers, lifts, stairwells and car parks get used constantly. If they aren’t properly maintained they can quickly become unhygienic or unsafe.
Professional strata cleaning helps to:
Keep hygiene standards up
Reduce the risk of slip and trip hazards
Manage waste and recycling bins so they stay tidy
Keep high-traffic areas clean and safe
Keeping a clean environment is vital for protecting residents, visitors and anyone moving through the building.
Clean, well looked after common areas contribute to a much better strata living experience. Residents are far more likely to feel comfortable and proud of a building that’s clearly cared for and professionally managed.
Regular strata cleaning supports:
Higher tenant satisfaction
Fewer complaints to property managers
A more harmonious living environment
This is especially important in large apartment complexes where shared facilities are part of everyday life.
The condition of communal areas plays a big part in how a property is viewed. Clean, well presented strata buildings create a strong first impression for visitors, tenants and potential buyers.
Consistent strata cleaning helps to:
Protect the property’s appearance
Improve your appeal to potential buyers
Support long-term property value
A well maintained environment looks good on property owners, body corporates and strata committees.
Every strata property is different, but effective strata cleaning focuses on the areas that have the biggest impact on safety, hygiene and presentation.
Entrances, hallways, lifts and stairwells get used constantly by loads of people. These areas need regular cleaning to keep them looking their best and prevent dirt and dust from building up.
Outdoor spaces like walkways, courtyards and car parks are exposed to the elements and heavy use. Professional cleaning helps maintain safety and visual appeal while preventing long-term damage to hard surfaces. These areas are often supported by services such as pressure cleaning.
Car parks, recycling bins and waste management areas often get overlooked but they play a major part in overall hygiene. Proper cleaning helps control odours, pests and safety risks.
Many strata complexes include shared facilities like swimming pools, recreational spaces and common rooms. These areas need consistent cleaning to maintain safety and hygiene for residents.Where needed, Strata cleaning can get a helping hand from complementary services like commercial cleaning and grounds maintenance so the whole property stays looking its best.
We take a sensible approach to Strata cleaning that’s all about getting the job done. We spend some quality time getting to know how each building is used, figuring out where the most traffic and risk are, and come up with a cleaning schedule that gets everything running smoothly without sending everyone’s lives into a spin.
We’re all about:
Getting the regular cleaning right, every time\
Using well-trained and properly equipped cleaners
Not being afraid to bring in the big guns if we need to
Keeping property managers and maintenance committees in the loop
Consistency is key – we want all shared spaces looking their best

From what we’ve seen, regular Strata cleaning is one of the simplest ways to keep a property’s overall value in good shape. Well-maintained Strata properties just don’t have as many issues, end up saving money in the long run and generally have happier residents and owners.
It’s not just about looking good – cleaning is also about keeping people safe, healthy and happy in the long term.
Regular Strata cleaning usually means the common areas, shared facilities, car parks, outdoor spaces and even the waste management areas are all taken care of. We tailor our services to fit each strata complex.
We find that it all depends on the size of the property, how much foot traffic is coming and going, and how shared spaces are being used. Most strata properties really benefit from regular cleaning, but at a time and frequency that suits them.
For sure. We take a good hard look at each property and then come up with a cleaning plan that suits the layout, usage and budget of the building.
When communal areas are clean and well looked after they create a really good first impression for residents and potential buyers – it helps protect and even boost the property’s value over time.
Strata cleaning plays a pretty big role in keeping Strata-managed properties clean, safe and welcoming. When done right, it improves tenant satisfaction, keeps shared spaces in good nick and supports the long-term success of the property.
