Brisbane by the numbers

Brisbane is a big place to clean. At the 2021 Census, the Brisbane local government area, run by Brisbane City Council, had 1,242,825 people, and Greater Brisbane had 2,526,238[1][2][3].

The census also shows what kind of workplaces Brisbane has. In the Brisbane council area, 32.0% of employed people work as professionals, compared with 24.0% nationally. Managers make up 14.0% and clerical and administrative workers 13.1%[1]. Hospitals are the single biggest industry of employment, at 5.8% of employed people, and computer system design and higher education are also among the top industries[1].

Put simply, Brisbane has a lot of offices and a lot of healthcare. Those are the workplaces we're set up to clean.

Who we clean for in Brisbane

  • Professional offices: law, accounting, finance, IT, consulting and real estate.
  • Medical, specialist and allied health clinics: waiting rooms, consult rooms and bathrooms ready before the first patient.
  • Dental practices: general cleaning of public and staff areas, while clinical infection control stays with your team.
  • Gyms and fitness studios: change rooms, bathrooms, floors and equipment touch points cleaned outside opening hours.

We only do regular cleaning, weekly or more often. We don't do one-off cleans.

What a typical clean includes

We agree the list at the walkthrough. Most Brisbane sites include:

  • emptying bins and replacing liners
  • cleaning kitchens and kitchenettes, including benches and sinks
  • cleaning bathrooms and toilets
  • wiping desks, counters, reception areas and meeting tables
  • wiping touch points such as door handles and light switches
  • mopping hard floors and vacuuming soft floors.

Under work health and safety law, employers must keep toilets, washing and eating facilities clean, taking into account the number of workers and the nature of the workplace[4][5]. In offices with shared kitchens and busy bathrooms, that means attention on every visit.

Clinics and healthcare

With so many Brisbane workers in healthcare, clinic cleaning matters. Australia's national infection-control guidelines treat routine environmental cleaning as a standard precaution, with particular focus on frequently touched surfaces[6]. We clean general areas after hours: reception, waiting rooms, bathrooms, staff rooms, floors and agreed non-clinical surfaces. Clinical tasks such as reprocessing instruments and handling clinical waste stay with your practice.

Office buildings and after-hours access

Many Brisbane businesses are in multi-tenant buildings with swipe access, building alarms and after-hours sign-in rules. We follow your access and alarm procedures, and any building rules, on every visit. Tell us about parking, loading docks or lift access at the walkthrough and we'll plan around them.

Why after hours

After-hours cleaning keeps vacuum noise out of meetings and consults, keeps wet floors away from staff, patients and visitors, and has your space ready for the morning. Safe Work Australia lists wet and contaminated floors among common slip hazards[7], so cleaning when the building is empty helps manage that risk.

After-hours work also costs more to staff across the industry, because the Cleaning Services Award sets higher penalty rates for early morning, evening, weekend and public holiday shifts[8]. With us, that's built into one flat monthly price, so there are no surprises.

Choosing a frequency

A small office with a few staff often starts with a weekly clean. Busier offices usually need two or more visits a week. Clinics and dental practices that see patients every weekday often choose a clean each evening they're open, and gyms with busy change rooms often want daily or near-daily cleaning. At the walkthrough we'll look at how many people use the space, how heavily the kitchen and bathrooms are used and your opening days, then suggest a frequency.

Before your first clean

We'll confirm your clean day and time, how we get in and out of the building, and anything we should know about the space, including rooms that are off limits. After the free first clean, check the place the next morning and tell us anything you'd like done differently.
