Importance of Hiring a Body Corporate Cleaner

Body corporate cleaning can refer to both commercial and residential properties. Body corporate cleaning covers the common areas of a subdivided building or complex, the parts of the property that no single owner or tenant is responsible for on their own. This building management style is widely used worldwide, and it works because it is efficient in both time and cost.

Hiring a body corporate cleaner

Why having a body corporate cleaner is important?

For health and safety reasons, the property should always be kept clean and tidy, regardless of who is doing the job. Hygiene is the bottom line and the most effective way to stop the spread of viruses and disease. In a unit title complex it is difficult to allocate a common area to one tenant, so a cleaner is appointed as common practice.

Every complex is different, and managing one can be a lot of headaches. Committee members and body corporate managers need to look after cleaning, repairs and maintenance, parking, compliance, pets and much more. (For an overview of how unit title developments work in New Zealand, see the Tenancy Services guide to unit titles and the Unit Titles Act 2010.) It is far more effective to have professional trades or contractors look after each area.

For a small complex, employing a cleaner directly can be very expensive once you account for set-up cost, training, insurance and cover for absences. For a large complex, it is more practical to have a professional company oversee the operation, because it brings a better result and is more cost effective.

To sustain rental income and property values, the basic requirement is to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the premises. Regular cleaning and maintenance also extends the life span of the asset and reduces overall maintenance cost.

During flu season or any virus outbreak, keeping shared areas clean and tidy is the most effective way to control the spread of viruses and keep residents, tenants and the public safe.

Body corporate garden maintenance

Body corporate garden maintenance

Most complexes have some green space as part of the common property. However, not every cleaning company offers garden maintenance, because of the knowledge required, the specialist equipment, the insurance involved and the capability of the business. Most body corporate managers treat garden maintenance as part of the cleaning requirement, but it is a different kind of work with different complexity. White Spot Group can coordinate garden maintenance alongside your cleaning services. Regular garden maintenance we offer includes:

  • Weeding
  • Hedging
  • Edging
  • Line trimming
  • Garden bed restoration
  • Lawn mowing
  • Blowing driveways and outdoor recreational areas
  • Brush cutting
  • Rubbish removal
  • Weed spraying

How do you reduce water use on site?

Microfibre systems use a fraction of the water of traditional mop-and-bucket methods and are changed between zones rather than rinsed and reused, which cuts both water use and cross-contamination. Machine scrubbers are dosed to the floor area rather than filled by habit. External washing is scheduled with the weather and to the trade waste rules of the local council, so runoff is managed rather than sent to a stormwater drain.

Does using greener products mean a lower standard of clean?

No, and if it did we would not use them. Environmentally preferable products have improved enormously, and for the great majority of commercial cleaning tasks floors, glass, general surfaces, washrooms they perform as well as conventional chemicals when they are dosed correctly and given the right dwell time.

The difference usually comes down to technique rather than chemistry. Most complaints about green products trace back to under-dosing or rushing the job, not the product itself. That is a training and supervision issue, and it is ours to manage.

Are your products certified under Environmental Choice New Zealand?

Environmental Choice New Zealand is the country's official ecolabel and the certification most New Zealand procurement teams look for when they assess cleaning suppliers.

We will confirm in writing which of the products proposed for your site carry Environmental Choice New Zealand certification, and supply the certificates, as part of any quote or tender response. Where a product we recommend is not certified, we will tell you why it is being used rather than leave it unstated.

How does cleaning affect our carbon footprint?

Less than most people assume, but not nothing, and the levers are practical. We buy concentrates rather than pre-diluted product, so we are not freighting water around the country. We plan routes and rosters to cut unnecessary travel between sites. We maintain equipment so it runs efficiently and lasts, instead of replacing it early.

With New Zealand's 2050 net-zero target legislated under the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act 2019, more clients are asking their suppliers to account for this. We would rather show you the specific choices we make than quote you a headline number.

Can you give us waste and recycling data for our sustainability reporting?

Yes. Where we manage your waste stream we separate at source and report on what is diverted from landfill, which supports council waste minimisation targets under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 and gives you numbers you can put into your own reporting.

What is achievable depends on what your council and waste operator actually collect in your area kerbside and commercial recycling differ markedly between Auckland, Wellington and the smaller centres. We will tell you honestly what is divertible at your site rather than promise a rate we cannot hit.

What cleaning products do you use, and are they safe for our staff?

We use low-toxicity, environmentally preferable products wherever the site allows, dosed through controlled dilution systems so the concentration is right every time and nothing is over-poured. Safety data sheets for every chemical on your site are held on file and available to you on request, as required under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

Where a site needs a stronger product for genuine hygiene reasons a medical practice, an early learning centre, a commercial kitchen hygiene wins. We will not compromise infection control to make an environmental claim look better.

We make the visible invisible - Just Cleaned it.
