Communal Area Cleaning — for boards who are tired of worrying
We take over the communal cleaning in your housing cooperative (*borettslag*) or residents' association (*sameie*) with fixed teams, a fixed schedule, and a monthly report your board can actually use at board meetings. No agency fill-ins, no surprises, no excuses.
Communal-area cleaning is one of those things that almost always generates complaints in a housing cooperative — not because it's difficult, but because it's rarely done properly. We deliver one fixed monthly price, a fixed visit schedule, fixed teams, and written confirmation of each clean.
Residents see who's turning up. The board gets a monthly report ready for the board meeting. The caretaker or property manager has one point of contact to call when something needs raising. No triangulating between an agency and a subcontractor — it's just us.
The products we use are EU Ecolabel-certified. That matters here because children and dogs are often in the stairwell right after a clean — they shouldn't be breathing in sharp chlorine smells or walking on slippery chemical residues.

Communal-area cleaning is contracted as a fixed monthly price. We quote after a site survey where we walk the building, discuss frequency and any special areas (entrance vestibule, bike store, shared laundry).

How do we sign a contract?
We provide a written quote after the site survey, which your board can review in the usual way. The contract is a fixed monthly price with 1–3 months' notice. Many boards ask for a 3-year framework agreement — we're flexible.
Who pays for the materials?
Everything is included — mops, cloths, products, consumables. You pay one fixed monthly price with no surprises.
Can you swap days if we have a residents' work-day or laundry-room clash?
Yes, with one week's notice. We can move cleaning days at no extra cost if the board or residents have arranged something specific.
What if a resident complains about how a stairwell was cleaned?
Your board's point of contact flags it to us — we'll put it right within 48 hours, and it's documented in the monthly report. Repeat complaints about the same thing are resolved by adjusting the routine or swapping the team.
How do we know the team actually turned up?
The team signs a stamp card in the post-box area, or logs a QR code — whichever you prefer. The monthly report includes photos when there's an issue — not on every visit (that would become a GDPR headache), but whenever there's something to report.
