Commercial service
Apartment common-area cleaning for the spaces residents and prospects notice
Request a recurring plan for lobbies, corridors, elevators, leasing offices, amenity spaces, fitness rooms, and other shared areas.
Multifamily property cleaning
Common areas shape resident experience and first impressions throughout the property
Apartment communities contain a mix of public, resident-only, leasing, fitness, amenity, elevator, corridor, and service areas. Each area has different traffic, floor surfaces, access rules, and appearance priorities.
The proposal should identify buildings, floors, amenities, restrooms, trash or waste expectations, service frequency, leasing-office hours, and the on-site contact responsible for instructions.
On-site teams often need the recurring common-area routine and vacant-unit make-readies from the same provider. Both can sit in one agreement, with turnovers requested as they come up.

Common-area service categories
A site walk or detailed property information may be needed for an accurate recurring proposal.
Lobbies and leasing offices
Entrances, reception areas, visible glass, floors, and leasing-office surroundings can be prioritized.
Corridors, stairs, and elevators
Traffic patterns, floor types, railings, elevator interiors, and building count shape the plan.
Amenities and fitness areas
Clubrooms, fitness rooms, business centers, and restrooms can be included with defined expectations.
Property-specific rotation tasks
Baseboards, vents, interior glass, detailed edges, and seasonal needs can be assigned appropriate frequencies.
Turnovers and resident access
Make-ready cleaning for vacant units can run alongside the common-area routine. Gate codes, elevator booking and parking are agreed once and recorded, rather than sorted out again at every visit.

Detailed service planning
What to consider before scheduling apartment common area cleaning
Useful cleaning content should help a customer make a decision, understand the process, and request a more accurate quote.
Circulation space is what you are actually buying
Corridors, stairwells, and elevator lobbies consume most of the labour on a multifamily common-area contract, and they are the part most often under-counted at quote stage. A proposal that lists them explicitly by building and floor is the one that will still be accurate in month six.
Amenity spaces wear faster than anything else
Fitness rooms in particular degrade quickly under continuous use and are inspected closely by both residents and prospects. They rarely stretch to a low frequency without becoming a visible problem and a source of resident complaints.
Tour-ready is a different standard from clean
The leasing route needs to look its best on the days prospects walk it. Aligning at least part of the schedule to touring activity converts cleaning spend into leasing outcomes rather than treating it as pure maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Planning your cleaning service
How much does apartment common area cleaning cost?
Priced from the circulation map rather than unit count. Building count, corridor length per floor, stairwells, elevator lobbies, mail rooms, and amenity spaces determine the hours. Garden-style and mid-rise properties of identical unit count can differ substantially.
What common areas are included?
Typically lobbies and entries, corridors, stairwells, elevator cabs and lobbies, mail and package rooms, leasing office, clubroom, fitness room, business centre, and common restrooms. Occupied units are not included; vacant turnovers are quoted separately.
How often should apartment corridors and amenities be cleaned?
Fitness rooms and clubrooms usually need the highest frequency given continuous resident use. Leasing-facing spaces should be serviced on touring days at minimum. Corridors and stairwells can run lower. Setting frequency per space rather than property-wide gives a better result for the same budget.
Do you clean fitness rooms and clubrooms?
Yes. These are usually the highest-wear amenity spaces — equipment surfaces, mirrors, mats, floors, and touchpoints. They benefit from the most frequent schedule on the property and are worth protecting when budget is under pressure.
Can you cover multiple buildings on one property?
Yes. We map the property once and run a consistent route so buildings are serviced in the same order each visit, which makes gaps visible quickly rather than months later.
Do you clean occupied apartment units or only common areas?
Common areas are the recurring work — lobbies, corridors, elevators, stairwells, mail rooms, amenities, and leasing spaces. Occupied units are not in that scope. Vacant unit turnover is quoted separately as project work.
Do you offer make-ready or turnover cleaning for vacant units?
Yes, quoted per unit rather than by recurring schedule, since turnover volume swings month to month. Tell us unit size and expected condition and we will confirm timing against your lease-start deadline.
How do you handle gate codes and resident access?
Gate codes, fobs, and amenity access are documented and issued to named crew members rather than shared generally. If your property rotates codes, tell us the schedule so service is not interrupted by a credential that stopped working overnight.
