Strata cleaning is the regular cleaning of common property areas in strata-titled buildings — lobbies, corridors, lifts, car parks, gardens, and shared facilities. It's organised by the owners corporation and funded through strata levies.
Strata cleaning is the professional cleaning of common property areas in a strata scheme — the shared spaces that all residents or tenants use and that the owners corporation is legally required to maintain. Pro Clean Corp cleans residential and commercial strata common areas across Sydney from its Seven Hills base.
Strata cleaning covers all common property areas — any part of the property that is not privately owned by an individual lot owner. This typically includes:
Strata cleaning is paid for by the owners corporation from strata levies. Every lot owner pays levies (fees) to the owners corporation, which pools this money to pay for the maintenance and cleaning of common property — including professional strata cleaning contracts. Individual lot owners do not pay directly for strata cleaning; it is covered by their strata levies.
The right strata cleaning frequency depends on the building type, number of residents, and quality expectations. As a general guide:
| Building Type | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|
| Small residential (under 20 units) | Weekly |
| Medium residential (20–60 units) | 2–3x per week |
| Large residential (60+ units) | Daily or 3–5x per week |
| Commercial strata | Daily to weekly depending on tenant activity |
| Mixed-use (residential + commercial) | Daily for commercial areas, 3x weekly for residential |
A clear scope protects the owners corporation as much as the cleaner. Before asking for quotes, the committee or strata manager should list every common area, the tasks in each, and how often they are done. Bin rooms, car parks and lift interiors are often the areas residents notice first, so give them their own lines rather than folding them into a general "common areas" task.
Ask each cleaner to quote against the same scope, confirm they can provide a certificate of currency for insurance, and check the notice period. Pro Clean Corp works from a written scope with one fixed price agreed after a free site walkthrough, and agreements are month-to-month with no lock-in, which makes it simple for a committee to review the service at each meeting.
Strata cleaning is the regular professional cleaning of common areas in strata-titled properties — lobbies, corridors, lifts, car parks, gardens, and shared facilities. It is organised by the owners corporation and funded through strata levies paid by all lot owners.
The owners corporation (body corporate) is responsible for maintaining common property, including cleaning. They typically appoint a strata manager to arrange professional cleaning contracts. Individual lot owners are responsible only for their own lot.
Strata cleaning covers common property only — it does not include cleaning inside individual apartments, townhouses, or commercial units. Lot owners are responsible for their own private spaces.
The number of floors, lobbies and stairwells, whether there are lifts, bin rooms, car parks, pools or gyms, how heavily the common areas are used, and how often they are cleaned. Pro Clean Corp gives a fixed price in a written scope after a free site walkthrough, so the committee can see exactly what the levy is paying for.
Individual lot owners cannot typically choose the strata cleaner — this is decided by the owners corporation or strata committee. However, if you are a strata manager or on the strata committee, you can ask Pro Clean Corp for a quote to compare.
