Common-area cleaning

In a duplex, rental building, or small condominium, the entrance carries water, salt, and grit toward upper floors. A useful checklist separates the vestibule, stairs, railings, corridors, laundry areas, and waste rooms. Frequency should change between winter and drier seasons.

Frequently asked questions

How often should winter cleaning happen?

It depends on traffic, matting, and weather. A busy entrance may need several short visits instead of one large clean.

Are mats washed?

Vacuuming can be included. Extraction cleaning or mat replacement is a separate service.

Can a small condominium be served?

Yes. The request should come from an authorized contact and describe common zones, access, and the approval process.
