Definition

Commercial cleaning is the contracted, scheduled cleaning of any premises used for business activity — offices, strata common areas, retail, warehouses, hospitality kitchens, medical, educational and industrial sites. In Australia it is distinct from domestic cleaning in four ways: insurance band ($20M+ public liability is the commercial floor), chemical and equipment register (SDS sheets on file, machinery certifications), scope discipline (written, audited, evidence-backed) and compliance (modern award rates, payroll-tax, workers comp, WHS reporting).

How it differs from domestic cleaning

A domestic cleaner is a sole trader cleaning houses on price. A commercial cleaning company is a B2B contractor delivering a written scope under insurance, with payroll-tax compliance, supervised crews and a single accountable point of contact. The labour cost is similar; the operational overhead — rostering, audit, replacement cover, SDS register, WHS reporting — is what you actually pay for.

What's included in a typical scope

A standard Sydney office scope covers floors (vacuum + spot-mop), washrooms (toilets, basins, mirrors, consumables), kitchen/breakroom (surfaces, appliance fronts, sinks, bins), reception, high-touch points (lift buttons, door handles, handrails), waste collection and a weekly/monthly set of periodic tasks. Specialist scopes — strata, medical, kitchen exhaust, warehouse, end-of-lease — layer on top.

Who buys it

Facilities managers (multi-site office portfolios), office managers (single tenancy), strata committees (common areas and external glass), business owners (smaller workplaces), retail centre management (common areas and food courts), school bursars, medical practice managers, restaurant owners, warehouse and logistics operations managers.

How a quote is built

ANZ quotes are walkthrough-based. A supervisor inspects the site (typically 25-45 minutes), measures the cleanable area, photographs problem zones, asks about staff count, food service, after-hours access, and any special compliance (medical, food, childcare). The quote returns within 24 hours as a fixed monthly figure for 12 months, with the scope attached as a separate schedule.

Why this market exists in Sydney

Two structural drivers: lease compliance (most commercial leases require evidence of regular professional cleaning at handover) and WHS / staff retention (workplaces that are visibly maintained record measurably lower sick days and higher tenant retention). In Sydney specifically, the mix of CBD office towers, suburban office parks, light-industrial estates and aged-care/medical facilities creates year-round demand.
