Make Every First Impression Count — Professional Common Area & Lobby Cleaning Services That Keep Your Building Pristine
The lobby and common areas of an apartment complex, office tower, hotel, or retail building are more than passages — they’re the face of your property. A spotless, well-maintained lobby builds trust with residents, clients and visitors; a neglected lobby sends the opposite message. AKS Facilities’ Common Area & Lobby Cleaning service restores shine, improves safety and extends the life of finishes so your communal spaces always look their best.
Why lobby and common-area cleaning matters (more than you think)
Your lobby and shared areas are high-traffic, high-visibility zones that accumulate dust, grime and foot traffic faster than other spaces. Regular professional cleaning:
Creates a welcoming first impression for guests and prospective tenants.
Reduces slips, trips and falls by keeping floors dry and debris-free.
Extends the life of flooring, carpets, seating and finishes through proper care.
Improves indoor air quality by removing allergens, dust and particulate buildup.
Supports building hygiene standards and helps with compliance for commercial properties.
For multi-tenant properties and public-facing businesses, lobby cleanliness is a daily brand statement — it’s always on display.
What our Common Area & Lobby Cleaning service includes
We design cleaning programs around your building’s size, traffic, and finish types. Typical services include:
Daily cleaning & upkeep — sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, trash removal, wipe-downs of handrails and touchpoints.
Floor care — wet-mopping, dry extraction, buffing and periodic polishing for marble, tile, vinyl, wooden or stone floors.
Carpet cleaning — regular vacuuming plus scheduled deep-clean (hot water extraction or dry-cleaning) to remove stains and odours.
Upholstery & seating maintenance — spot treatment and scheduled deep cleaning for sofas, chairs and reception benches.
Glass & mirror cleaning — streak-free cleaning of entrance glass, doors, display windows and interior mirrors.
Dusting & high-reach cleaning — removal of dust from ledges, light fixtures, vents, and high surfaces using extendable tools and HEPA vacuums.
Restroom servicing — thorough cleaning, disinfection and restocking of shared washrooms adjacent to lobbies.
Entrance mat care — shake-out, vacuuming and periodic deep-cleaning to reduce tracked-in dirt.
Sanitisation of high-touch surfaces — elevator buttons, reception counters, door handles and handrails.
Waste management — scheduled removal, segregation and responsible disposal or handover to municipal collection.
Seasonal deep cleans & polish cycles — periodic intensive treatments (waxing, grout cleaning, anti-slip treatments) to restore finishes.
We combine daily upkeep with periodic deep-clean cycles so your lobby remains camera-ready every day while getting the maintenance it needs to stay new-looking longer.
How we tailor cleaning to your property
Not all lobbies are the same. We build a plan after a site survey that considers:
Footfall & usage patterns — higher-traffic sites need more frequent services.
Surface types & material care — marble and hardwood require different products and techniques than porcelain tile or vinyl.
Operational hours & access constraints — we schedule work to minimize disruption and maintain security.
Branding & presentation goals — some clients need event-ready polishing, seasonal décor cleaning, or hospitality-level freshness.
Budget & frequency — flexible packages from daily janitorial coverage to weekly deep cleans and ad-hoc refreshes.
Our survey-backed approach ensures you pay for the services that create the most impact.
