I’ve been in this business for more than 30 years, and one thing has not changed. Commercial cleaning companies do not make it easy to understand how their services are priced and why, and that makes your job more difficult than it should be.

In a residential body corporate complex, the common areas say a lot about the type of people who live there, how they treat their home, and whether they value having a clean home. The common areas in an apartment complex tend to be the first part of your house that your guests and visitors see.

Shared spaces get dirty really fast. After all, think of all the people who pass through or use these areas every day…and what they might leave behind. Dirt and mud stains on the floor, marks on the walls, fingerprints on handrails and lift buttons, dust on the stairs, just to name a few!
