Cleaning Antiques and Valuables: Preservation and Maintenance Tips

Services You Might Need From a Body Corporate Cleaning Company

A body corporate cleaning company should be able to provide all the services needed to ensure that a shared property is always safe and clean, for residents and for guests. Since body corporate cleaning is not like cleaning a residential home, note a few services you may need from such a company, and be sure to cover these items with any potential company you might hire.

Vandalism

Vandalism can include trash cleanup, the cleanup of graffiti, removing broken glass while waiting for a window repair professional to arrive and replace a broken, and other such cleaning. You might note if there is a recurring problem with certain type of vandalism in your area and ensure that a potential cleaning company can manage that cleanup; for example, you may not get many broken windows on your property, but trespassers might tend to toss trash over a back fence. Whatever your specific needs when it comes to vandalism cleanup, be sure you cover this with any potential company you might hire for your body corporate cleaning.

Exterior cleaning

The interior of your property is not the only area that needs consistent and professional cleaning. Note if a potential cleaning company can offer pressure washing of the building exterior, the windows, the walkways and driveways, and any other such surfaces. This might be scheduled on a regular basis, but you may also want to ensure they have some flexibility with scheduling; you may need to have the property's exterior cleaned after a storm, after a vehicle breakdown that left behind grease and oil, and at other such times.

Drapery, curtains, mats

Drapes and curtains tend to hold dust and debris very easily. Dirty welcome mats can also look very unsightly to visitors when they first arrive in a lobby or other area. Your cleaning service should be able to clean curtains you have in common areas as well as welcome mats, to ensure that these pieces always look their best.

Tenancy cleanouts

Cleaning out offices, apartments, and other such spaces after a tenant has left is vitally important, even if the previous tenant is responsible for leaving that space in pristine condition. It's good to have your own cleaning service go through such spaces with a checklist of items they need to inspect; this will ensure the space is properly cleaned and ready for a new tenant or owner. Always ensure your cleaning company offers this type of service, as it may include cleaning items like kitchen appliances, office furniture, and other items that are not included in their everyday cleaning work.
