Dirty common areas can quickly become a source of embarrassment, particularly if residents are inviting guests over.

On the other hand, car parks &amp; bin areas can be cleaned fortnightly or monthly, depending on the climate and usage. External pathways &amp; gardens can be scheduled for monthly to quarterly cleaning, plus seasonal blitzes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p><p><b>Be clear with cleaning contractors<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide written scopes to your preferred cleaning contractors and share them from within your strata maintenance software.
