The cleaning is the simple part of a city job. Getting to it is the work: a sign-in at the desk, an after-hours pass, a lift to wait for and nowhere to park.
There are two kinds of building in the city. Towers come with building management and a security desk, and they decide who can be on a floor after hours. The older walk-ups in the laneways come with a street door, a flight of stairs and no lift, so everything we use gets carried up.
We drive in from Malvern East, about twenty to twenty-five minutes once the traffic has thinned. That’s one more reason commercial cleaning in the Melbourne CBD suits the evening: your office is empty, and so are the roads.
Getting us into your building
This gets done once, before the first clean, so nobody is left explaining us to a security desk at night.
Send Ryan the address and the floor. He replies the same day, and the quote is free.
For anything bigger than a small office he comes in and sees it before he quotes, and asks how the building handles contractors after hours.
If they want a certificate of currency before a cleaner is allowed on the floor, Ryan sends it. We’re insured and police checked.
A pass, a key, an alarm code or a name on the security list: whatever the building uses is arranged before we arrive. We hold keys and codes for after-hours work and lock up when we leave.
It’s the long one, and it costs more than a regular visit. After it you’re on the days and hours we agreed.
Once we’re upstairs
A regular office clean is the desks, the kitchen, the bins and the floors, and the bathrooms if they’re inside your tenancy. Tell us if they’re shared on the floor, because that changes the job.
We bring our own equipment and products up in the lift and take them out again when we go.
Our fortnightly routine at Pulp Digital in Richmond is written up in full if you’d like to see what a visit looks like: always outside business hours, keys held, locked up on the way out.

Why the city costs a little more
A CBD office costs a little more to clean than the same office in Richmond or South Yarra. The floor is no bigger. The time around it is: finding a park, signing in, waiting on the lift, and working only inside the hours the building allows. Our pricing guide explains how that shows up in a quote.
The rest is priced the way any office is: by the size of the floor, the kitchens and bathrooms on it, how often you want it cleaned and at what hour. A weekly program costs less per visit than the occasional call-out.
The size we suit
An office suite or a single floor is our size. A whole building is not. We’re a small team, and a tower that needs a crew across every level each night belongs with a bigger company. Ryan will say so on the phone instead of quoting for it.
The same holds for Southbank, Docklands and St Kilda Road, which have their own pages.

Questions about city offices
What time would you come?
Whenever the floor is empty and the building lets contractors in. That can be the evening, overnight, early morning or the weekend. If a clean needs moving, ring Ryan. He picks up day or night.
Can you do a one-off clean at the end of our lease?
An end-of-lease clean is a deep clean, and a single visit before an inspection or a handover is a one-off clean. Ryan looks at the office first, because the state it’s in decides how long the job takes.
What happens if we move floors or give up the lease?
There’s no lock-in contract, so a move doesn’t trap you. Give reasonable notice and you can stop, pause, or change the frequency to suit the new floor.
Send Ryan the building, the floor and roughly how many desks, or ring him on 0409 385 707. You’ll hear back the same day, including whether your office is the right size for us.
