Common areas set the tone for the whole building
Strata common area cleaning is the part of the building every resident and every visitor walks through. A dusty mailbox wall or smeared entry door is the first thing people notice, and the first thing they email the strata manager about.
We handle lobby cleaning, corridor and stairwell cleaning, foyers, mailbox areas and internal glass for Sydney strata buildings on a fixed schedule. Each area is listed in the scope with how often it gets done, so the committee knows exactly what it is paying for and residents see the same standard every week.
Lobby cleaning, corridors, stairwells and internal glass
Strata internal glass cleaning is included here, not sold as a separate job. Entry doors, internal windows and glass balustrades in common areas get wiped on the same visit as the floors, because fingerprints on the front door undo a clean lobby straight away.
What's included
| Area | What we do |
|---|---|
| Lobby and foyer | Sweep and mop hard floors, vacuum entry mats, dust ledges, skirting and signage, wipe seating |
| Entry glass and doors | Clean both sides of entry doors, sidelights and door handles |
| Internal glass | Internal windows, glass partitions and glass balustrades in common areas |
| Mailboxes and noticeboards | Wipe mailbox fronts, parcel lockers and noticeboard glass |
| Corridors | Vacuum carpet or mop hard floors, wipe light switches and door frames |
| Stairwells and fire stairs | Sweep and mop steps and landings, wipe handrails |
| Touchpoints | Intercom panels, lift call buttons on each floor, door handles, handrails |
| Common area bins | Empty lobby bins and replace liners |
Not included: corridor carpet steam cleaning (see our strata carpet cleaning), lift cabins (see lift cleaning) and anything inside private lots.
How often
| Area | Busy building (50+ units) | Smaller building |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby floors and entry glass | 3 times a week | 1 to 2 times a week |
| Mailboxes and touchpoints | 3 times a week | Weekly |
| Corridors | Weekly | Fortnightly |
| Stairwells and fire stairs | Fortnightly | Monthly |
| Internal glass and balustrades | Weekly | Fortnightly |
These are starting points. Buildings with a busy retail ground floor, lots of parcel deliveries or young families usually need the lobby done more often.

- Regular cleansWe start on the agreed day and keep to the schedule. Any issues go to one contact.
Full detail on our cleaning process.
What to check before you choose a common area cleaner
- Is every area listed? A quote that says "clean common areas weekly" can mean anything. Ask for a list by area.
- Does the frequency match how busy the building is? A 120-unit building with a parcel room needs more lobby visits than a 12-unit walk-up.
- Who do you call when something is missed? You want one named contact, not a call centre.
- What's excluded? Carpets, lifts and anything inside lots should be clearly in or out, so there are no arguments later.
If you are about to compare quotes, our free scope of work checklist lists every common area so each cleaner prices the same job, and our strata cleaning cost guide explains how frequency changes the price.

Who checks this page
Ashish, owner of Lunar Cleaning Services
Lunar has cleaned strata buildings, businesses and homes in Sydney since February 2018. This page is written from how we scope and clean these sites ourselves, and the owner walks every strata and commercial site before it is priced.
Questions we get asked
Do you clean inside the lifts as part of common areas?
Lift call buttons on each floor are part of common area cleaning. The lift cabin itself (walls, mirrors, door tracks) is on our lift cleaning scope, and most buildings book both together.
Can you clean before residents are up?
Yes, we can schedule early starts so the lobby is done before the morning rush. Tell us the building's access times and any noise rules.
What happens if a resident complains about something?
Send it to your Lunar contact. We check it against the scope, fix it if it was missed, and tell you what we did.
Is entry glass cleaned on both sides?
Yes. Both sides of the entry doors, sidelights and door handles are on the common area scope, along with internal windows and glass balustrades.
Are fire stairs and stairwells included?
Yes. We sweep and mop steps and landings and wipe handrails, usually fortnightly in busy buildings and monthly in smaller ones.
Do you clean mailboxes and parcel lockers?
Yes. Mailbox fronts, parcel lockers and noticeboard glass are wiped as part of the lobby clean.
