A waiting room with six chairs and a steady flow through it looks tired far sooner than an open floor with forty desks. Nobody mentions it. They sit there with nothing to do but look, and they see the fingermarks on the glass door and the dust along the skirting.
Glen Iris has a lot of rooms like that: small practices and consulting rooms, shops and offices along High Street and Burke Road, more around Gardiner and Glen Iris stations, and the shopping and office area at Tooronga. Small rooms used all day by people who don’t work there need more attention per square metre than a big office does.
We run Withers Solutions from Durward Road in Malvern East, and Glen Iris borders us to the north. That makes commercial cleaning in Glen Iris a short drive for us, not a trip across town. We quote every job ourselves and clean most of them, and when you ring, it’s Ryan who picks up.
What we’d put on the list for a small practice
Say you have a waiting room, a couple of consulting rooms and a small kitchen. The list would start like this, and you add to it or cross things off.
- Reception counter, waiting chairs and side tables wiped
- Door handles, push plates and light switches
- Glass doors and partitions cleared of fingermarks
- Consulting room desks, benches and chairs wiped down
- Kitchen bench, sink and microwave
- Bathrooms cleaned, bins emptied
- Every floor vacuumed, then the hard floors mopped
That’s a standard office clean. If the rooms haven’t had a proper going-over in a while, we’d start with a deep clean and hold it from there. Tired carpet can be booked in on its own for hot water extraction.
What a fortnightly routine looks like
The routine we can show you from start to finish is at Pulp Digital, a marketing agency with a studio in Richmond. We’re there every fortnight, always outside business hours. We move the keyboards to wipe the desks, dust the screens, clean the kitchen and the bathrooms, then vacuum every floor and mop the hard ones.
A small office in Glen Iris would run the same way: fixed days, an agreed list and the same small team, so nobody has to be shown around twice. The whole Pulp Digital routine is written up here.

Early, late or on the weekend
A consulting room can’t be cleaned around appointments, so we come when the rooms are empty. Before the first booking of the day, after the last one, overnight or on a weekend: any of them is fine by us.
You don’t need to wait around to let us in. We keep a key, we know the alarm, and the last thing we do is lock the door. The business is insured and police checked. If you’d like to see the insurance certificate before we start, Ryan will send it.

The usual questions
What would a small practice in Glen Iris pay?
Rough guide only: regular cleans start from $99 a visit. For a medium space, 150 to 500 square metres, $800 to $2,500 a month is usual. Four things set the actual figure: square metres, kitchens and bathrooms, the number of visits, and the time of day. The pricing guide explains each of those.
Do you take away sharps or clinical waste?
Sharps and clinical waste stay with your provider. We clean the waiting room, consulting rooms, kitchen, bathrooms and floors around them. If your practice needs something beyond a standard commercial clean, tell Ryan on the phone. He’ll say plainly if it’s outside what we do.
Is a two-room suite too small to quote?
A small suite is fine. Give Ryan the address and the number of rooms and he’ll reply the same day. A larger space he would want to walk through before quoting.
What if we want to go from weekly to fortnightly later on?
Tell us and we change it. There’s no lock-in contract, so dropping back, pausing or stopping only takes reasonable notice.
Send us the address, the rough floor area and the hours your rooms are empty, or ring and tell Ryan. He answers at any hour and replies the same day, and a quote costs you nothing.
We also cover the suburbs around Glen Iris: Malvern East, Malvern, Camberwell and Hawthorn.
