The Importance of Strata Property Cleaning

If you are managing a strata titled property, it is your responsibility to have it cleaned regularly. Strata properties have common areas such as lobbies, elevators, car parks, corridors, swimming pools, and gyms that are frequented by residents, tenants, the property’s staff, and guests.

As people constantly pass through or use these areas on a daily basis, dirt, grime, mould, and other forms of pollutants are bound to accumulate in time. If left unchecked, this can eventually hasten the deterioration of the property. It will make your strata property look drab and unappealing, which could turn off future tenants and residents. If the build-up of dirt and the constant exposure to environmental elements causes significant damage to the property, it could cause life-threatening accidents or even trigger health issues.

Given the extent of the areas that need cleaning in strata properties, this tedious task requires a lot of time and effort to get this done properly. You’ll also need the right equipment and appropriate cleaning agents to clean various kinds of hard surfaces to ensure that nothing gets damaged in the process. It is highly recommended that you consider hiring professional outdoor cleaning services. Here are some of the different kinds of strata cleaning that they can provide.

High pressure washing

This is a quick and efficient solution to clean the outer sections of the strata property such as driveways, poolside areas, stairways, and outdoor pathways. High pressure cleaning equipment is used to wash away stubborn stains and other forms of dirt that have accumulated over time. It can even remove mould and mildew which can cause slipping accidents.

Exterior building cleaning

Prolonged exposure to pollution can make the outer walls of buildings look grimy and dull. Dirty windows can block natural light from coming in. A professional building exterior cleaning crew has the proper gear to safely scale the building and effectively wash the walls and windows, restoring them to its pristine condition.

Roof and gutter cleaning

The roof can become cluttered with dried leaves, animal waste, and other pollutants which can clog the gutters. This will disrupt the flow of water which can ultimately damage the roof and the gutters. As the roof is always exposed to natural elements, the colour can fade and rust can set in. Expert exterior cleaners of strata properties have the proper tools for roof and gutter cleaning. They can clear out the dirt on the roof’s surface and remove trapped muck in the gutters to restore the proper flow of water to the downspouts. They also include roof painting services to help improve the building’s overall appearance.

Floor Cleaning

Strata properties are bound to have heavy foot traffic. That’s why floor cleaning is essential to avoid tripping or slipping accidents. Outdoor cleaners know what type of cleaning agent and brush to use without damaging the floor surface, whether it’s made of concrete, marble, brick, timber and sandstone. And yes, they can even get rid of that occasional but annoying chewing gum that’s stuck on the floor.

Car park cleaning

Car parks can be notoriously polluted with discarded trash, grease marks, oil puddles, and gas exhaust stains. With no regular maintenance, this can create conditions for accidental fires. As a strata property manager, you should never take this area for granted. Exterior cleaning experts can dispose of the trash properly and apply non-hazardous degreasers for hard-to-remove dirt on car park surfaces.

Graffiti removal

One of the worst things that could happen on your strata property is the appearance of unsightly graffiti. Outdoor cleaning crews are equipped with graffiti removal tools to wash it away whilst maintaining the structural integrity of the surface.

Hard surface sealing

Some strata properties have exterior areas that use sandstone, pavers, tiles, pattern stamp or stencilcrete for a more attractive appearance. But this also makes it susceptible to more dirt getting trapped within the material, whether due to its design or its porous nature. Outdoor cleaning experts can recommend hard surface sealing after cleaning. High quality sealers are applied on the surface to protect it from natural elements, dirt, oil, chlorine content, moss and grease. This also makes it easier to clean and can add vibrance to the surface.
