Stairwell Cleaning for Housing Associations, Property Owners and Businesses

Professional stairwell cleaning for properties

Stairwells are used by many people and are continually exposed to dirt, dust and moisture brought in from outside. At the same time, cleaning requirements vary depending on the type of property. That is why we tailor our stairwell cleaning services to the actual conditions on site.

OCT provides stairwell cleaning for, among others:

• housing associations and residential properties
• property owners
• businesses and office buildings
• schools
• healthcare facilities
• other public buildings and organisations

We can provide both regular stairwell cleaning and one-off cleaning services. For recurring assignments, the service is tailored to the needs of the property, while a one-off service may, for example, be required after renovation work or ahead of a special event.

What is included in stairwell cleaning?

The services included are adapted to the property and the customer’s requirements. OCT stairwell cleaning can include:

• Stairs and landings: Vacuuming and damp mopping of stairs and landings.
• Railings and handrails: Cleaning and disinfection of railings and handrails.
• Entrances and entrance mats: Cleaning of entrance areas, including vacuuming and cleaning entrance mats.
• Walls and corners: Wiping down surfaces to remove dust and cobwebs.
• Windows and window sills: Cleaning windows and window sills.
• Mailboxes and noticeboards: Cleaning to remove dust and dirt.
• Light fittings: Wiping down lamps and light fittings.

If the property requires additional cleaning tasks, we can tailor the service and include further measures by agreement. This ensures that the stairwell cleaning reflects what actually needs to be done in the specific property.

How often should a stairwell be cleaned?

How often a stairwell needs cleaning depends on how the property is used and how quickly dirt accumulates in shared areas. There is therefore no single cleaning frequency that suits every stairwell. When recommending a cleaning schedule, we consider factors such as:

• the number of people using the stairwell
• the type of building and how it is used
• the customer’s specific requirements and preferences
• how quickly the stairwell tends to become dirty
• seasonal variations

During autumn and winter, for example, more dirt and moisture may be brought indoors, which can increase the need for cleaning. Rather than simply following a predetermined standard schedule, we create a cleaning plan based on the conditions of the property and the customer’s needs.

Stairwell cleaning tailored to the property

No two stairwells are exactly alike, and the amount of use they receive can vary considerably. Both the scope and the way the cleaning is carried out can therefore be adapted. This may include which cleaning tasks are required, when the work should be carried out, how many cleaners are needed and whether certain parts of the property require special consideration. We can also schedule additional cleaning during periods when the need increases. Cleaning is planned around the requirements of the property and the customer and can, for example, be carried out at times that minimise disruption to residents or other users. If the property contains special surfaces, decorative features or other areas requiring a particular cleaning method, these can also be included in the cleaning plan.

Adaptation to environmental and allergy requirements

We can also adapt the choice of cleaning products and cleaning procedures to specific environmental or allergy requirements. OCT uses eco-labelled cleaning products, including products carrying recognised Nordic environmental certifications such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel or Good Environmental Choice. Where specific allergy requirements apply, we can use alternatives without strong chemicals or fragrances and adapt our procedures for areas that need to be cleaned with particular care.

How much does stairwell cleaning cost?

The cost of stairwell cleaning depends on the scope of the assignment and the conditions of the property. We therefore prepare a quote based on the specific stairwell and the cleaning required. Factors that may affect the price include:

• Size and scope: The number of floors, number of stairwells and the total area to be cleaned.
• Cleaning frequency: How often the stairwell cleaning is to be carried out.
• Specific requirements: Additional cleaning tasks or special requirements regarding, for example, cleaning products.
• Accessibility: Whether parts of the stairwell are difficult to access or require special equipment.

To provide as accurate a quote as possible, we normally need information about the property address, the number of floors and stairwells, the desired cleaning frequency, any specific requirements and the accessibility of the property. You will then receive a free quote clearly specifying what is included and the cost of the stairwell cleaning service.

How stairwell cleaning with OCT works

Once the quote has been accepted, we plan together how the stairwell cleaning will be carried out. The aim is to make it clear from the outset what will be done, when it will be done and how the assignment will be followed up.

Combine stairwell cleaning with other services

For properties where the requirements extend beyond the stairwell itself, stairwell cleaning can be combined with other OCT services. If the property includes office premises, we can also assist with office cleaning. If the property’s windows need cleaning, we also offer window cleaning. For organisations with broader service requirements, OCT also provides Facility Services, allowing several services to be combined into a more comprehensive solution.
