🍰 Case Study · Floor Care · Hawthorn East
A white floor in a working dessert kitchen is a brave choice. Cocoa, cream, coffee, syrup and flour hit it every single day, and every mark shows. This is how we keep the floors spotless at Siora Tiramisu, Melbourne’s first dedicated tiramisu bar, on Auburn Road in Hawthorn East.
The short version: Siora Tiramisu runs a busy production kitchen and customer-facing dessert bar on white commercial flooring. We deep clean every accessible floor area twice a week and sanitise the bathrooms weekly, working nights and closed days so the team never loses a minute of prep or trading. Siora sits right on the Hawthorn border, and we look after businesses across both Hawthorn and Hawthorn East. The photos below are real Tuesday nights, a bit over an hour apart.

The Challenge
What a week of tiramisu production does to a white floor
Siora is a food production site and a customer-facing venue in one. Out front, a bright dessert bar. Out back, a full commercial kitchen turning out tiramisu all week. Both sit on pale commercial flooring that shows every drip, scuff and footprint.
In a food premises, floors aren’t just about looks. Built-up spills become slip hazards and a food-safety risk, and grime migrates from the floor to everything else. A venue like this needs its floors properly clean every week of the year, not just presentable.
A floor like this can’t be rescued once a quarter. It needs a program – and that’s exactly what we built.
The Program
Twice-weekly deep floor cleans, scheduled around trading
We visit twice a week, on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings, timed around Siora’s trading and prep hours so the team never works around us. It’s the same commercial floor care discipline we bring to every venue, tuned for a food premises:
Commercial vacuum
Every accessible floor area, front of house and kitchen, to lift the dry soil first
Food-safe spot treatment
Spills, drips and sticky patches treated with products safe for a food premises
Deep floor clean
Full deep mop and scrub of all floor areas, with extra passes on high-traffic lanes
Bathrooms & detail
Weekly bathroom sanitisation plus detailed cleaning of high-use areas as needed


The Result
A food-grade floor, back to white every week
Every visit ends the same way: spills gone, traffic lanes lifted, and the whole floor back to the bright white it was built to be. Because the program runs twice a week, soil never gets the chance to build up, set in or migrate – the difference between a floor that’s maintained and one that needs rescuing.

For a venue whose whole brand is craft and care, that consistency matters. Customers see the same spotless floor whether they visit the day after a clean or the day before the next one, and the kitchen team starts every production day on a genuinely clean surface.

FAQs
Floor cleaning in Hawthorn FAQs
How often should a commercial kitchen floor be deep cleaned?
For food production premises we recommend a deep floor clean at least once a week, and twice weekly for busy kitchens with white or light floors. Daily spot cleaning between visits keeps spills from setting into the surface.
Can you clean a cafe or food venue outside trading hours?
Yes. We schedule almost all hospitality work for nights, early mornings or the venue’s closed days, so there’s no disruption to trading, prep or customers.
How much does commercial floor cleaning cost in Hawthorn?
It depends on floor area, surface type and how often you need us. Scheduled programs cost less per visit than one-off cleans. We quote free, same-day, and we’re upfront about what’s achievable. Call 0409 385 707 or request a quote online.
