Furniture cleaning for property managers

What is different for a property manager

An office manager has one set of rooms, but a property manager has several addresses, an owner to report to and tenants who must not be disturbed. So the key thing is not the cleaning method but a clear list: which piece at which address, who pays for it and with whom the time must be agreed.

• Office centre lobby: sofas and chairs everyone uses, in a space that is rarely closed.
• Common areas: kitchen areas, lounges, meeting rooms.
• Furnished rental flats: furniture after a change of tenant. See rental flat furniture cleaning.
• Staff accommodation and dormitories: many mattresses and chairs. See hotel and hostel mattress cleaning.
• After a leak: see furniture cleaning after a flood, where the key question is whether the furniture is still worth saving.

Several addresses in one request

You can put several addresses in one form. Prepare a list following the sample below. Then the specialist sees the whole volume at once and can say how to divide the work.

Agree the rest with the specialist, for example how to divide the work across days. We do not publish terms here.

What to put in the form

• Addresses and rooms, as well as the access rules in each building.
• The furniture list by address and type.
• Photos: the furniture, the label, the worst spots.
• When the rooms are free and who will let the specialist in.
• Who approves the price: you or the owner.

When a piece is worth cleaning and when it is not

The owner needs to know whether to spend the money on cleaning or on a new piece. If a lobby sofa has peeling faux leather or worn fabric, cleaning will not repair that. If moisture has been in the filling for a long time after a leak, upholstered furniture is hard to dry, and mould may develop. That usually means replacement, and the cause must be fixed first.

If the smell comes from the room rather than the furniture, furniture cleaning will not solve it. We work with upholstery, not with the air in the room or the walls.

The lobby and the tenants

The lobby is the face of the building, but all the tenants use it, so it is wise to warn them before work starts. Tell us when the lobby is quietest and whether part of the furniture can be cordoned off while the fabric is damp. How long that will be depends on air humidity, ventilation, the fabric and the filling, so we do not promise a number of hours.

What to expect after cleaning

In rental properties it is often not known what a stain is or how old it is. The specialist then judges from the photos, and the owner should bear in mind that some of it may stay. More: what may stay after cleaning.
