Importance
Why Your Scheme Needs Professional Common Property Cleaning
It’s a Legal Obligation, Not Just Good Practice
Under South Australia’s Strata Titles Act 1988 and Community Titles Act 1996, the corporation, not any individual owner, carries legal responsibility for maintaining common property. A committee that lets the lobby or stairwell slide isn’t just risking complaints before the next AGM, it’s falling short of an obligation set out in law.
Protects the Value of Every Lot in the Scheme
A grubby entrance and a stained lift affect resale value and rental appeal for every owner in the building, not just the one who happened to walk through last. Common property presentation is one of the few things that moves every lot’s value at once.
It Reduces Slip and Trip Exposure in Shared Areas
Lobbies, stairwells and car parks see foot traffic from owners, tenants, visitors and tradespeople alike, all moving through a space none of them are individually responsible for maintaining. A consistent cleaning schedule is a genuine control against the kind of fall that turns into a claim against the corporation’s insurance.
Simplifies the Committee’s Job
Volunteer committee members already juggle levies, insurance, maintenance and disputes. A cleaning contractor that just works, on schedule, without chasing, is one less thing on an agenda that’s usually too long already.
WHY US
Why Choose Zenith for Strata & Body Corporate Cleaning in Adelaide?
Three things guide how Zenith works: integrity, clinical precision and reliability. Across a scheme with dozens of owners watching, here’s what that looks like:
Employees, Not Subcontractors
Plenty of cleaning firms rotate whoever's available through a residential building, with no resident ever quite sure who's supposed to be there. We don't. Every Zenith cleaner is a directly employed, trained team member, so the same face and the same standard turns up every visit. Zenith is a newer name in Adelaide strata cleaning, but our team brings hands-on experience from across the cleaning industry, not people learning on the job.
Proof, Not Promises
A committee can't verify cleaning quality by walking through once a month. We back it with ATP surface testing, supervisor audits and a digital logbook, so what happened on your common property is measured and reportable, not just assumed.
Paperwork That Protects the Corporation
When an owner disputes whether cleaning occurred, or an insurer asks questions after an incident, a manager needs records on hand, not a promise to check. Zenith holds $20M public liability, ReturnToWorkSA cover and ISO 9001 processes, documented and ready.
A Single Point of Contact
No call centre, no rotating account manager. Your dedicated Area Supervisor knows the scheme's layout and access arrangements, and answers directly when the manager needs something adjusted.

How Our Strata Cleaning Process Works
Step 1: Walkthrough With the Manager or Committee
We walk the common property with your strata manager or a committee representative, noting every shared area and any access quirks, secure entries, lift key requirements, bin room timing, before a scope is written.
Step 2: Colour-Coded Cross-Contamination Control
We use separate cloths and equipment for bathrooms, amenities, bin areas, and general common property so nothing crosses between zones.
Step 3: Trained Methods & the Right Equipment
Teams working across multiple schemes carry consistent training in chemical safety and surface-appropriate methods, using commercial-grade equipment suited to lobbies, lift floors, stairwells and hard-wearing car park surfaces.
Step 4: ATP-Tested Results
We use ATP surface testing on high-touch common property points, door handles, lift buttons, and handrails to measure cleanliness at a molecular level, not just a visual check.
Step 5: Supervisor Sign-Off & Digital Logbook
An Area Supervisor checks off every visit, feeding a digital logbook your strata manager can pull up directly, which is useful when an owner asks what’s actually being done and when.

Accreditations, Insurance & Compliance
- ISO 9001 processes — the same quality system audited, unannounced, across every scheme we service
- $20M public liability insurance — if someone is hurt on common property we’ve just cleaned, our cover responds, not the corporation’s
- ReturnToWorkSA registered — every cleaner on site is covered under South Australia’s statutory work injury scheme
- Manual handling trained under SafeWork SA’s Hazardous Manual Tasks Code of Practice, relevant to bin handling and equipment moved through shared areas
- Staff engaged under the Cleaning Services Award (MA000022), payrolled employees rather than subcontractors moving through a residential building, so there’s no wage compliance risk for the corporation to carry
- National police clearances — current and checked for every cleaner before they’re given access to a building people live in
- GECA-certified green options — available if the scheme has a sustainability policy to meet

Frequently Asked Questions
Who actually signs the contract, the committee or an individual owner?
The corporation, usually acting through the strata manager or a committee resolution. An individual lot owner can’t contract cleaning for common property on the scheme’s behalf.
Can you invoice the strata manager directly rather than the committee?
Yes, we’re used to working through managing agents and can set invoicing up however your scheme’s admin fund is administered.
Do you clean inside individual lots or units?
No, strata cleaning covers common property only: lobbies, corridors, stairwells, car parks and shared amenities. Individual lots remain each owner’s own responsibility.
What's the difference between strata cleaning and janitorial cleaning?
Strata cleaning is specific to common property in multi-owner schemes, contracted by a corporation rather than a single business. Janitorial cleaning is the broader recurring service across any facility type. See our Janitorial Services page if that’s a closer fit.
Can you work around bin collection days and resident peak hours?
Yes, scheduling is built around your scheme’s actual patterns, like bin day, school-run traffic in the lobby, or whatever timing works best for residents.
Are your cleaners insured and background-checked?
Yes, a national police clearance, reference checks and on-site training are all completed before a cleaner is ever given access to a building people live in.
Will I need to supply cleaning products or equipment?
No, commercial-grade equipment and products suited to common property surfaces arrive with our team, with eco-friendly options available if the scheme has a sustainability policy.
Can pricing be presented in a way that’s easy to defend at an AGM? Yes. Fixed quarterly pricing, set out in writing, is designed to drop straight into a budget report without needing to be re-explained or justified after the fact.
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. A 30-day cancellation policy applies to every agreement, so a committee isn’t stuck if circumstances change.
Do you offer emergency or same-day cleaning?
Yes, Zenith offers emergency and same-day cleaning for urgent situations, in addition to our regular scheduled strata visits.
How often should strata cleaning be performed?
It depends on foot traffic and the scheme’s own presentation standards, but most Adelaide schemes settle into a regular scheduled visit pattern rather than ad hoc cleans. We confirm frequency during the site walkthrough and set it out in the fixed quarterly quote, so the committee is approving an exact schedule, not an open-ended arrangement.
Why choose Zenith over a cheaper strata cleaner?
Price alone doesn’t tell a committee much. Many lower-cost operators rely on rotating subcontractors and can’t produce reporting if an owner raises a question. Every Zenith cleaner is a directly employed, police-checked professional, backed by $20M public liability insurance and ISO 9001 processes.
How Much Does Strata Cleaning Cost in Adelaide?
There isn’t a standard price for strata cleaning because every property has different cleaning requirements. Costs are based on factors such as the size and layout of the common areas, how often cleaning is required, the number of lifts and stairwells, shared facilities like gyms or pool areas, and any secure-access arrangements. A fixed quarterly price is provided in writing before the committee approves the service, so there are no unexpected adjustments afterward.
