Strata Cleaning Melbourne
One standard across foyers, lifts, and common areas — multi-site strata cleaning with clear reporting and after-hours windows.

Strata complaints usually start in the foyer. Fingerprints on lift mirrors, dusty tracks, and neglected bins erode resident confidence fast. AfterFive delivers strata cleaning across Melbourne with site-specific scopes and consistent crews — not a patchwork of random subcontractors.
Building and strata managers get one point of contact, consolidated scheduling, and escalation when standards slip across the portfolio.
What strata cleaning includes
Every contract starts with a written scope. Typical inclusions for this service:
Foyers & lobbies
Entry presentation, glass, floors, and first-impression zones residents see daily.
Lifts & lobbies
Mirrors, buttons, tracks, and lobby floors on agreed frequencies.
Stairwells & corridors
Dust, spills, and handrails on a schedule matched to traffic.
Shared amenities
Gyms, shared washrooms, and common rooms as scoped per building.
Bin rooms & waste
Presentation and liner discipline for common waste areas.
Reporting & escalation
One account path when a site falls below the agreed standard.

What Melbourne clients say
Sample feedback from facility and practice managers. Live Google reviews will appear here once our Business Profile is linked.
“We needed one cleaner across three buildings. Consistent foyer standards and one contact made committee reporting easier.”
“Lift mirrors and entry floors were the constant complaints. After-hours cleans fixed the presentation before morning peak.”
“Site scopes per building stopped the ‘what’s included’ arguments. Escalation actually works when something is missed.”
Typical strata cleaning frequencies
| Zone | Busy buildings | Lower traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Foyers & lifts | Daily or high-frequency | 2–3× weekly |
| Stairwells | Weekly detail | Fortnightly |
| Shared amenities | Per usage schedule | Weekly / as scoped |
What affects strata cleaning cost
We quote a written scope after a walkthrough — not a generic hourly rate. Cost is driven by:
- Number of buildings and common-area size
- Lift count and foyer finish (marble vs vinyl)
- Amenity load — gyms, shared washrooms, BBQs
- Required frequency and after-hours windows
- Reporting and inspection cadence
- Annual deep-clean calendar (carpets / hard floors)
Strata Cleaning Melbourne FAQs
Can one contract cover several buildings?
Yes. We structure multi-site agreements with site-specific scopes and a single account contact.
Do you clean lifts and foyers after hours?
Yes. Most strata clients prefer early morning or evening windows to minimise resident disruption.
How do you handle tenant complaints?
Agreed escalation paths and site checks mean issues are logged and addressed — not ignored until the next AGM.
Can you take over from another strata cleaner?
Yes. We run a transition plan with a joint walkthrough so common areas improve rather than gap between providers.
Are periodic deep cleans included?
They can be. Many portfolios build quarterly or biannual carpet and hard-floor care into the annual scope.
