Cleaning by industry
Commercial cleaning for your industry
Most cleaning companies sell you one checklist and change the name at the top. We start from the building. A commercial kitchen, a dental surgery, a childcare room and a live warehouse are four different jobs, and only one of them can be done with a mop and good intentions.
- Twelve industries, twelve written scopes
- We quote at the hour we would be cleaning
- The same police-checked cleaner every visit
- Fixed written price in 24 hours, no lock-in

What is industry-specific commercial cleaning?
Industry-specific commercial cleaning is commercial cleaning where the scope of work is written from the type of premises rather than from a standard task list. The surfaces, the equipment, the chemistry, the order of work and the hours the cleaner can be on site all change with the venue, so the scope changes with it.
Clean Best writes a separate scope for twelve premises types: restaurants, cafes, retail stores, gyms, medical practices, dental practices, childcare centres, schools, warehouses, offices, hotels and strata schemes. Each has its own page on this site setting out what is cleaned, when it can be cleaned, and what a general cleaner most often gets wrong there.
Clean Best operates in Sydney and across New South Wales from a depot at 54 Columbia Rd, Seven Hills NSW 2147. It does not operate interstate. It quotes every job after a free walkthrough of the premises, confirms one fixed price in writing within 24 hours, and works with no lock-in contract.

Which of these is your building?
Twelve premises types, each with its own scope, its own access window and its own list of things a generalist cleaner gets wrong. Start with yours.
- Restaurant Cleaning ServicesGrease travels. We clean the line, the canopy face, the wall behind the fryer, the floor grout and the drains — after close, so the kitchen is cold and the pass is clear.How we clean restaurants
Cafe Cleaning ServicesMilk protein, coffee oil and sugar syrup make a film that a general cleaner wipes over rather than off. We clean the grinder bay, the under-counter and the front of house before open.How we clean cafes
Retail Store CleaningThe floor and the glass are the store. We clean between roller-door down and doors open, working around stock, fitting rooms, the till bay and the back-of-house nobody sees.How we clean retail
Gym Cleaning ServicesSweat, rubber crumb and chalk are three different problems and only one of them comes off with a spray bottle. We clean equipment, matting, mirrors and change rooms before the 5am scan-ins.How we clean gyms
Medical Practice CleaningConsult rooms, treatment rooms and a waiting room full of unwell people. Clinical zones and public zones get different cloths, different chemistry and different order of work.How we clean medical practices
Dental Practice CleaningA surgery is not an office with a chair in it. We clean around the chair, the delivery unit, the light handles and the spittoon surround — and we do not go near instruments or sharps.How we clean dental practices
Childcare Centre CleaningEverything gets touched, mouthed and sat on. Low tables, mats, cots, toy shelving, nappy-change benches and toilets — cleaned overnight by WWCC-cleared cleaners, low-odour chemistry only.How we clean childcare centres
School Cleaning ServicesCleaning around a bell timetable, not around an office. Classrooms and amenities daily, the halls and canteens on their own cycle, and the heavy work moved into the holidays.How we clean schools
Warehouse Cleaning ServicesA live site with forklifts in it. Scrubbed aisles, dusted racking, swept docks and clear line-marking — worked around your pick, pack and dispatch runs, never through them.How we clean warehouses
Office Cleaning ServicesJudged every morning on three things: the kitchen sink, the bins and the handprint on the front door. So those are the priority in the scope, not the afterthought.How we clean offices
Hotel Cleaning ServicesThe public areas, not the rooms. Lobby, reception, lifts, corridors, back-of-house and the guest bathrooms off the foyer — cleaned continuously, because a hotel never closes.How we clean hotels
Strata Cleaning ServicesCommon property only, and reported to the committee. Foyers, lifts, fire stairs, bin rooms, basement car parks and the glass everyone's fingerprints are on.How we clean strata schemes
Why this site exists
A cleaning scope that fits every business fits none of them
Commercial cleaning for your industry is not a marketing angle. It is the difference between a contractor who has stood in a room like yours at the hour it actually gets cleaned, and a contractor who has a template.
Almost every commercial cleaning quote in this country is the same document. Bins, floors, kitchen, washrooms, glass, touchpoints. It is not wrong, exactly. It is just a description of an office, and it gets handed to a restaurant, a surgery and a warehouse without anyone noticing that none of those things is an office.
What actually changes between industries
Four things, and all of them decide whether a clean holds up.
The surfaces. Rubber gym flooring and a stainless steel kitchen line and a vinyl surgery floor and a sealed concrete warehouse slab all want different chemistry and different mechanical action. The wrong product on the right surface does not fail loudly. It fails over eighteen months, and then somebody notices the floor is dull, the stainless is hazed, or the grout has gone permanently grey, and by then it is a capital cost rather than a cleaning problem.
The equipment. A cleaner in a restaurant has to know what a canopy filter is, what happens if the fryer is still hot, and which surfaces a scourer will ruin. A cleaner in a dental surgery has to know what not to touch. A cleaner in a warehouse has to know that a wet floor under a forklift is a genuine hazard rather than a wet floor sign. None of that is in a generic induction.
The hours. This is the one that quietly destroys contracts. A restaurant cannot be cleaned at 7pm. A childcare centre cannot be cleaned with children in the room. A hotel lobby cannot be closed at all. A retail store has a window between the roller door coming down and the alarm going on, and it is shorter than anybody quoting for it believes. If the schedule does not fit the operation, it gets skipped — and a scope that quietly stops happening is worse than a scope that was never promised.
The consequence of getting it wrong.In an office, a bad clean is embarrassing. In a childcare centre, a medical practice or a commercial kitchen, it is somebody’s licence, somebody’s inspection, or somebody’s health. Different stakes need different rigour, and the honest response is to write the scope accordingly rather than to charge more for the same work.
What we do about it
We keep twelve scopes, not one. Each of the twelve pages on this site sets out, for that industry: what gets cleaned every visit, what rotates weekly, what is periodic, when we can be in the building and when we cannot, and the specific mistakes we most often find when we take over from a general cleaner. They are written to be read by the person who runs the place, not by a procurement portal.
Then we come and look. A supervisor walks the premises — at the hour the work would actually happen, which for half of these industries means after 10pm — and writes a scope from what is in front of them. Within 24 hours you get one fixed figure and a task list split into every-visit, weekly and periodic work. No dollar figure appears anywhere on this site because no honest one could: your premises has not been seen yet.
And what we will not do
We will not tell you what a regulator requires of you. That is your obligation, not our sales pitch, and a cleaning company that explains your compliance duties to you is a cleaning company that is guessing. What we will do is make sure the cleaning side of it is done properly and written down, so that when somebody asks you what your cleaning scope is, you have a document rather than a shrug.
We also will not quote for ducted kitchen exhaust cleaning, clinical waste, or anything needing height-access equipment. They are specialist licensed jobs. We will tell you that, scope around them, and you can engage whoever does them properly.
Call 1300 494 983. The first question we ask is not how many square metres you have. It is what kind of building it is.
Why Clean Best
Six reasons an industry scope beats a generic one
The scope is written for your venue, not adapted from an office
Most cleaning contracts are one checklist with the client's name changed. Ours start from what the premises actually is. A dental surgery, a commercial kitchen and a pallet-racked warehouse have almost nothing in common except a floor, and pretending otherwise is how a scope quietly stops matching the building.
We quote at the hour we would be cleaning
A restaurant at 2pm looks nothing like a restaurant at 11:30pm. A childcare room with thirty children in it looks nothing like the same room at 7pm. We come out when the work would actually happen, because that is the only version of the building the price can be based on.
The same cleaner, every single visit
You get one named person, not whoever the agency had spare. They learn the equipment, the access, the room that gets missed and the surface that cannot take bleach. In a specialised venue that knowledge is the job, and it resets to zero every time a new face turns up.
Police-checked, and WWCC wherever children are
Every Clean Best cleaner is police-checked and site-inducted before their first shift. Anyone working in a school, a childcare centre or any premises children use also holds a current Working with Children Check, and we will give you the numbers rather than assure you they exist.
$20m public liability behind every shift
We carry public liability cover and workers compensation for everyone on the roster. The certificates of currency go to your building manager, your strata committee or your procurement team before we start, rather than after somebody has asked twice.
Nothing locks you in, and we say what we cannot do
Change the frequency, add a room, pause over a shutdown, or leave with thirty days notice. And if a job needs a licensed specialist rather than a cleaner — ducted exhaust, height access, clinical waste — we will tell you that instead of quoting for it.
How it works
Getting started, in four steps
- 1
Tell us what the premises is
Call 1300 494 983. The first question is never square metres. It is what kind of venue you run, what is in it, and what hours it is empty.
- 2
We walk it at the hour we would clean it
A supervisor comes out — and comes out late if that is when the work would happen. A kitchen at 11pm and a kitchen at 2pm are two different buildings.
- 3
A scope written for your venue
Within 24 hours: one fixed figure, and a task list split into every-visit, weekly and periodic work. Written for your industry, not adapted from an office.
- 4
The same cleaner starts
Inducted on your access and your equipment, starting on the agreed date, with a named supervisor auditing the site monthly against the written scope.
FAQ
Questions about cleaning by industry
What operators ask before they move off a generic cleaning contract.
What does it mean to clean by industry rather than by service?
Clean Best writes the scope from the kind of premises you run, not from a standard task list. A restaurant kitchen, a dental surgery and a pallet-racked warehouse share almost nothing except a floor: different surfaces, different equipment, different chemistry, different access hours and different things that go wrong when a generalist gets it slightly off. So we start from the venue. The tasks fall out of that, rather than being handed down from a template with your business name typed into the header.
Which industries does Clean Best write a scope for?
Clean Best has a written scope and a dedicated page for twelve: restaurants, cafes, retail stores, gyms, medical practices, dental practices, childcare centres, schools, warehouses, offices, hotels and strata schemes. If your premises is not one of the twelve — a veterinary clinic, a place of worship, a car dealership, a function centre — ring us anyway. We will tell you honestly whether it is close enough to something we do well, and we will tell you if it is not.
Where does Clean Best work?
Clean Best works in Sydney and across New South Wales, from a single depot at 54 Columbia Rd, Seven Hills NSW 2147. We do not have interstate branches and we do not pretend to. If your premises is outside the area we can reliably staff with the same cleaner every week, we will say so on the first call rather than take the job, subcontract it to somebody we have never met, and let you find out later.
Why will you not publish a price?
Because a rate card cannot see your premises, and on this kind of work floor area is the wrong unit. A sixty-square-metre dental surgery is a bigger job than a two-hundred-square-metre showroom. A four-hundred-square-metre restaurant kitchen is a bigger job than a fifteen-hundred-square-metre warehouse. Clean Best quotes after a free walkthrough, confirms one fixed figure in writing within 24 hours, and does not adjust it afterwards because the job turned out to be what it always was.
Do you clean during business hours or after we close?
It depends entirely on the industry, which is the point of this site. Restaurants and cafes are cleaned after close, when the equipment is cold. Childcare centres are cleaned overnight, with no children on the premises. Warehouses are cleaned around your pick and dispatch runs, never under a moving forklift. Hotels never close at all, so their public areas are cleaned continuously. We agree the window at the walkthrough, and we walk the premises at the hour we would be working in it.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Clean Best works on a rolling agreement with thirty days notice on either side. You can change the frequency, add a room, drop a room, or pause over a shutdown. We would rather earn next month than hold a business to a clause it regrets signing in month two — and if we are not doing the job properly, a lock-in clause would only delay you finding somebody who will.
What will you not do?
Clean Best does not handle clinical or sharps waste, does not clean ducted kitchen exhaust systems, and does not do work that requires height-access equipment. Those are specialist, separately-licensed jobs, and a cleaning company that quotes for them anyway is a cleaning company that will get one of them wrong. When your premises needs one, we say so and we scope around it, rather than quietly including it in a line item and hoping.
