The most touched space in the building
In an apartment block, the lift is where everyone ends up. Residents with shopping, removalists with furniture, couriers, cleaners and visitors all press the same buttons and lean on the same walls. Mirrors pick up handprints within hours and door tracks collect grit that can make doors sticky.
Our lift cleaning covers the cabin walls, mirrors, handrails, buttons, floors and the door tracks, done often enough that the lift never looks like an afterthought. We clean lifts in strata buildings and commercial buildings across Sydney, usually on the same visit as the lobby and common areas so there is one schedule to manage.
Lift cabin cleaning and lift track cleaning
Lift track cleaning matters more than most people think. Grit and small stones in the sill track are a common reason doors catch or re-open. We vacuum and wipe the landing sills and cabin sill on each visit. Anything mechanical, like door sensors or the lift shaft, stays with your lift maintenance company. Lift tracks are one of the most common gaps in strata scopes; see our scope of work checklist.
What's included
| Part of the lift | What we do |
|---|---|
| Cabin walls and panels | Wipe stainless steel, laminate or timber panels with the right product for the finish |
| Mirrors | Clean streak-free, top to bottom |
| Buttons and call panels | Wipe and sanitise cabin buttons and the call buttons on every floor |
| Handrails | Wipe and sanitise |
| Floor | Vacuum or mop, spot clean marks and spills |
| Door tracks and sills | Vacuum and wipe the cabin sill and landing sills |
| Doors | Clean inside and outside faces of the lift doors on each level |
| Removalist protection |
Not included: lift shaft, car top, machine room and any mechanical or electrical work. These stay with your lift maintenance contractor.
How often
| Building type | Cabin and buttons | Tracks and sills |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment building, 1 to 2 lifts | 2 to 3 times a week | Weekly |
| Large apartment building, 3+ lifts | Daily or 5 times a week | Twice a week |
| Commercial office building | Daily on business days | Weekly |
Buildings with frequent move-ins and move-outs often add a clean after each move. We can price that as an extra in the scope so nobody is surprised.

Who it's for

How it works
- Count the liftsWe note how many lifts, the finish of the cabin walls and how busy the building is.
- Agree the frequencyWe put the lift schedule into the same scope as the common areas.
- Clean and checkEach visit covers cabins, buttons and tracks. You get one contact for the whole building.
Full detail on our cleaning process.
Why lifts get complaints first
Residents spend a few seconds in the lift several times a day, standing close to mirrors and walls with nothing else to look at. That is why a smudged mirror or a sticky floor in the lift generates more emails to the strata manager than a dusty stairwell nobody uses.
Move-in and move-out days make it worse. Furniture scrapes, cardboard dust and grit from shoes and trolleys all end up in the cabin and the door tracks. A lift that is cleaned two or three times a week, with an extra clean after a big move, stays presentable without costing the building a daily visit.
- Ask how often the cabin, mirrors and buttons will be cleaned, separately from the lobby.
- Ask whether door sills and tracks are included, not just the walls.
- Ask what products they use on stainless steel or timber panels.

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 use special products on stainless steel lift walls?
Yes. Stainless steel streaks if you use the wrong product. We use a stainless cleaner and wipe with the grain so panels look even.
Can you clean the lift during a move-in day?
We can, but it works better straight after. Let us know the building's move-in bookings and we'll fit the lift clean around them.
Do you clean the lift shaft or the top of the lift car?
No. That needs a licensed lift technician. We clean the cabin, doors and sills that residents use.
Can lift cleaning be added to our existing common area clean?
Yes, and that is how most buildings book it. One visit, one scope, one invoice.
How often should lifts be cleaned in an apartment building?
With 1 to 2 lifts, cabins and buttons are usually cleaned 2 to 3 times a week and tracks and sills weekly. Large buildings with 3 or more lifts often have cabins done daily or 5 times a week.
Do you fit lift curtains for removalists?
