Strata cleaning is the regular cleaning of the shared common areas in a strata-titled building — the lobbies, hallways, stairwells, lifts, car parks, bin rooms and gardens that every resident uses but no single owner is responsible for. Golden Touch Cleaning Services provides reliable strata cleaning across Sydney for apartment blocks, townhouse complexes and owners corporations, keeping common property clean, safe and well-presented all year round.
We're fully insured, our cleaners are police-checked, and we report back to your strata manager so nothing slips through the cracks. Whether you manage one building or a portfolio, we build a schedule around how your property is used and stick to it.

We provide strata building cleaning for every kind of residential and mixed strata property in Sydney. The scope and frequency change with the building, so we tailor the plan to each one.
From boutique low-rise blocks to high-rise towers, apartment buildings have the busiest common areas in strata — lobbies, lifts and bin rooms that need frequent, reliable attention to keep residents happy.
Townhouse and villa complexes are lower-traffic but spread out, with shared driveways, paths, gardens and visitor parking. We keep the outdoor common areas as tidy and well-maintained as the indoor ones.
Many Sydney buildings mix apartments with a handful of ground-floor suites or shared amenities. We clean the residential common property here and coordinate with our commercial team where a building also needs commercial strata cleaning.
Not sure what your site needs? An on-site assessment sorts it in one visit — see Commercial Cleaning Sydney for a full facility program, or combine carpet care with Office Cleaning on a single contract.
Common property doesn't stop at the front door. A full-service strata cleaning company should look after the outside of the building too, not just the lobby — exterior and periodic cleaning protects the building fabric and keeps the whole property looking maintained. It's where many providers fall short.
Blocked gutters cause overflow, damp and expensive water damage to common property. We offer strata gutter cleaning as a scheduled sub-service, clearing leaves and debris before the wet season so the owners corporation avoids far costlier repairs down the track.
Driveways, car parks, paths, entries and common walls build up grime, oil and mould over time. High-pressure cleaning restores these hard surfaces and reduces slip hazards in shared areas.
Clean entrance glass and common-area windows lift the whole building's presentation. We schedule external and internal common-area glass on a periodic cycle to match your building's needs and access.
Strata cleaning is the ongoing cleaning and upkeep of a building's common property — the areas owned collectively by all lot owners and managed by the owners corporation. It does not include the inside of individual apartments or townhouses; it covers everything shared, from the front entrance to the bin room.
The owners corporation funds it through the building's levies, and a strata manager or committee usually arranges the contract. A good strata cleaning service keeps those shared areas hygienic and presentable, protects the building's value, and heads off the resident complaints that otherwise land on the strata manager's desk. In some states — particularly Queensland and Victoria — the same service is called body corporate cleaning. The name differs but the work is identical: cleaning the shared common property of a multi-owner building on behalf of the owners corporation.
Most strata cleaning companies bury their pricing, which makes it hard for a strata manager to compare quotes. We quote on-site so the price reflects your actual building, but these are the factors that drive the cost:
An ongoing contract almost always works out cheaper per visit than ad-hoc cleans, because we're maintaining the building rather than recovering it. We give the owners corporation a clear, itemised quote so the committee can see exactly what the levy is paying for.
There's no single correct frequency — a busy inner-city apartment tower needs daily attention, while a small townhouse complex may only need a weekly or fortnightly visit. Strata cleaning and maintenance works best on a set schedule so residents always know the building is cared for. A typical plan looks like this:
| Area | Typical Frequency | Task |
|---|---|---|
| Lobbies, lifts & entrances | Daily–weekly | Floors, glass, high-touch disinfection |
| Hallways & stairwells | Weekly | Vacuum/mop, cobwebs, rails |
| Bin rooms | Weekly | Clean, deodorise, bin rotation |
| Car parks & driveways | Fortnightly–monthly | Sweep, spot clean, litter |
| Gardens & outdoor areas | Gardens & outdoor areas | Tidy, sweep, litter removal |
| Windows, glass & pressure clean | Periodic | Scheduled deep-clean cycle |
We agree on the schedule up front, then hold to it — and adjust as the building's needs change over the year.
Strata managers across Sydney choose us because we make their job easier — reliable cleaning, clear reporting, and no surprises. Among strata cleaning companies Sydney owners corporations could pick, we stand out as a specialist that offers:
Strata cleaning is the regular cleaning of a building's shared common areas — lobbies, hallways, stairwells, lifts, car parks, bin rooms and gardens — managed by the owners corporation. It does not include the inside of individual apartments. A typical service covers floor cleaning, high-touch disinfection, glass, bin rooms and outdoor tidying on a set schedule.
Strata cleaning and maintenance is funded through the building's levies and covers the ongoing upkeep of common property — the cleaning schedule agreed with the owners corporation, plus any sub-services like gutter, pressure or window cleaning included in the contract. It does not cover cleaning inside private lots.
It depends on the building. High-traffic apartment towers usually need daily or several-times-weekly cleaning of lobbies and lifts, while smaller townhouse complexes may only need a weekly or fortnightly visit. We assess your building on-site and recommend a frequency for each area so nothing is over- or under-serviced.
Yes. Golden Touch Cleaning Services carries full public liability insurance, with certificates of currency available on request, and every cleaner is police-checked. That matters in strata, where our team works unsupervised inside residents' shared spaces.
Yes. Bin rooms are one of the most common sources of odour and pest complaints in strata buildings. We clean and deodorise them on schedule and can manage bin rotation — moving bins out for collection and back afterwards — so waste never becomes a compliance or complaint issue.
We work to your building's access and security procedures, whether that's keys, fobs, codes or a concierge. Our cleaners are police-checked and uniformed, and we agree the access arrangement with the strata manager before the first clean so the building stays secure.
We respond quickly and re-clean if something isn't right. You get a single point of contact for the building, so issues are resolved directly rather than lost in a call centre. Our reporting and sign-off process is designed to catch problems before residents even notice them.
