If you have an office, business or commercial space and need a reliable and effective cleaner, there are plenty of quality options available if you do a little research.

Cleaners can offer weekly, fortnightly or even daily cleans for commercial spaces, ensuring a professional solution at an affordable price.

In this article, we explore what you need to consider when hiring a commercial cleaning team as well as the options for pricing and budgeting for a commercial cleaner in Australia.

No two cleaners are the same, and if you want a good job carried out, it is important to find one that exceeds your expectations and provides a solution that meets all your needs.

What does a commercial cleaner offer service-wise?

A commercial cleaner is a little different to a residential cleaner and will carry out work in a range of commercial properties including office buildings, schools, clubs, retirement villages, hotels and even gyms. The work carried out by commercial cleaners can include cleaning factory floors, cleaning machinery and using industrial cleaning equipment including polishing the floors in medical facilities such as hospitals.

Commercial cleaners can also carry out a wide range of cleaning services including carpet or floor cleaning, tile cleaning, grout cleaning, pressure cleaning of outside of buildings, and even emergency cleaning in the event of an accident or unexpected issue taking place such as a leak or debris in a commercial environment.

What can I ask my commercial cleaner to do?

Your business or commercial space will need to be kept clean and safe, and a commercial cleaner works to ensure that your place is cleaned to the highest standard.

Commercial cleaners cover a wide range of services and can be tasked to carry out a solution that is tailored to your needs.

Cleaning solutions include:

Cleaning of flooring including vacuuming carpets
Dusting and polishing furniture
Steam cleaning furniture as required
Disinfecting bathrooms and bathroom spaces
Waxing floors
Mopping floors
Rubbish removal and cleaning of medical facilities
Exterior cleaning including high pressure cleaning
Graffiti removal
Wiping down work stations
Refreshing towel dispensers and any wall-mounted paper towel dispensers
After hours cleaning
Cleaning of parking areas
Cleaning of windows
Maintaining grounds

How are residential and commercial cleaners different?

The big difference is that residential cleaning is done on a smaller scale and includes the rooms of your home, including kitchen and bathroom. It rarely includes the outdoors of your building and just covers the ‘living areas’.

Commercial cleaning focuses on managing and disinfecting spaces and ensures that any hazardous waste is removed so it is fit for commercial use. While your residence is clean, a commercial space needs to be a healthy environment that can be safely monitored on a commercial scale.

Your house clean is very different to a commercial clean, the equipment will generally be different and the attention to detail will also be unique.

While your house or property might be clean and tidy, depending on the type of commercial clean required, the cleaning could be of a higher standard and designed to meet commercial and industrial health and safety standards.

Commercial cleaning hourly rate

You can expect a commercial cleaner in Australia to charge anywhere between $30 to $50 per hour.

Commercial cleaning regulations can vary from state to state, and if you would like to find out this rate you can ask the Fair Work Ombudsman to get a rate that suits the work and service required.

There are often higher rates applied for the weekends and public holidays, so be sure to get the information relevant to your state to understand and budget for your commercial cleaning needs.

Will commercial cleaners work after hours when our office is closed?

Yes, cleaners will almost always attend a commercial property when your staff and customers are not present, allowing for a deep and thorough clean to take place without interruption.

Having a cleaner present when you are trying to conduct business can be difficult, and commercial cleaners will often work after hours or during quieter periods to ensure a safe and thorough clean is carried out without disruption to the business.

If your office or commercial space is open or in operation 24/7, a commercial clean team will conduct cleaning services at a time that is the least impact to your staff.

In the case of hospitals or retirement villages where patients and residents live or are on site, commercial cleaning specialists will carry out their work to suit the environment, cleaning floors when there will be the least impact on individuals and staff.
