Commercial cleaning is often thought of as something that simply keeps a workplace looking presentable, but in reality, it does far more than that.

It’s not always front of mind as a career, but commercial cleaning offers consistent work across Australia, with hundreds of thousands employed across the industry.

Cleaning has long been associated with tidiness, general hygiene and presentation. If floors are vacuumed, bins are emptied and surfaces look shiny, most can assume that the workplace is orderly and well managed.

When the strata committee for a large apartment complex in New South Wales reached out to Jani-King, they were dealing with a problem that had been gradually building for months.

Corporate business cleaning covers every part of the workplace, from offices and boardrooms, meeting areas and high-traffic communal spaces.
