Communal area cleaning in Brussels: entrance halls, stairwells & apartment buildings

In a jointly owned building, the communal areas are used by everyone and looked after by no one in particular. Entrance halls, stairs and landings take all the building's foot traffic: footprints on rainy days, dust in the corners of the steps, fingerprints on the glass doors, the handrails and the letterboxes. Without regular cleaning, a building goes downhill fast and the subject ends up as a bone of contention at the general meeting.

Effective communal area cleaning relies on a fixed schedule and a clear specification. Some tasks come back at every visit: sweeping and mopping the stairs and the entrance hall, wiping the contact points (handrails, door handles, lift buttons), cleaning the glass front door. Others are scheduled at regular intervals: stairwell windows, skirting boards, cobwebs, the bin store, cellars and the bike store. Each floor surface (Belgian bluestone, marble, terrazzo, tiles, lino) is cleaned with a product that suits it.

We work with professional building managers, volunteer syndics and co-owners in Brussels and the surrounding area, from small buildings to residences with several stairwells. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits depending on the size and use of the building, and one-off cleans after a move, after works or before a general meeting.
