What Should Be Included in a Strata Cleaning Program?

A well-executed strata cleaning program keeps residential buildings safe, welcoming, and well-maintained. Here's what property managers and strata councils should expect.

Daily/High-Frequency Tasks: Clean and polish entrance glass doors, handles, and intercom panels. Sweep, mop, or vacuum lobby floors and mats. Wipe down mailboxes and directory boards. Sanitize elevator buttons, handrails, and control panels. Polish stainless steel and mirrors in elevator cabs.

Weekly/Routine Tasks: Vacuum carpeted hallways and runner rugs on all floors. Spot-clean walls, doors, and baseboards to remove scuffs. Dust light fixtures and exit signs. Sweep and mop stairwells. Disinfect and restock common washrooms. Clean gym, lounge, and party rooms.

Parkade and Waste Areas: Sweep garbage chute rooms and recycling areas. Disinfect bin handles and chute doors. Apply eco-friendly odor neutralizers. Sweep parkade entryways and visitor parking. Empty outdoor litter bins.

Monthly/Seasonal Deep Services: High-level dusting of ceiling fixtures and vents. Interior window cleaning. Hot-water carpet extraction for hallways. Machine scrubbing of parkade floors and tile entries. These are typically scheduled as add-on services.

A quality strata cleaning program should be documented with a checklist, performed by trained and insured staff, and include regular quality inspections.
