Commercial cleaning Southbank
Most buildings in Southbank serve more than one purpose. A single tower might have offices on the lower floors, apartments above, a gym on level five and a car park running three levels underground. Cleaning a building like that takes more than a mop and a roster.
AECS has been working as commercial cleaners in Southbank for years, looking after offices, strata buildings and loading docks. We also work in clinics, childcare centres, pools and theatres around the area. Some clients have us in every night. Others call when they need a deep clean before an inspection. Either way, our commercial cleaners turn up when we say we will.
Local challenges
High-rise towers, riverside foot traffic and mixed-use rules all need a cleaning plan built for Southbank — not a one-size-fits-all roster.
In a tower with a few hundred residents, the lobby and lifts never really get a break. People come and go all day, delivery drivers wheel trolleys through, and someone always tracks mud in when it rains. The bin rooms and car parks downstairs cop just as much, even if nobody looks at them. We clean both the parts people see and the parts they don't, including plant rooms and service corridors.
Down on the river, shops deal with a different problem. Foot traffic along the walk is constant, so glass doors and railings are covered in handprints by lunchtime. Outdoor seating picks up dust and damp from the river. We look after shop floors and windows, and we pressure wash decking and paths so they don't turn slippery. Theatres and function rooms around Sturt Street and South Wharf often need a quick turnaround between bookings — we plan around your event times so the next room isn't held up.
A medical clinic has strict hygiene rules. A childcare centre needs cleaners with the right checks. A pool needs its wet areas kept safe. Our team works across all of these in the same building, which saves managers from juggling three or four different contractors.

Beyond the clean
Plenty of our clients started with basic cleaning and then asked us to take on more. Here's what else we do.
Southbank has a lot of glass. We clean windows inside and out, and our crews can reach the high river-facing windows that get covered in dust from the wind.
Coffee spills in office carpet come out with steam cleaning. Deep hot-water extraction removes dirt, stains and odours from high-traffic areas.
Riverside paths get slick after rain. We test your floors and apply anti-slip treatment for entrances and wet areas so people stay safe.
We keep soap, paper towels, sanitiser and bin liners stocked. We watch how fast your site goes through supplies and restock before anything runs out.
Regular sanitary bin changes and safe disposal for staff and public washrooms.
Daily bin room and recycling management that follows your building's waste rules.
Targeted pest treatments safe for kitchens, bin rooms and food areas.
Fast removal to protect your building's professional image.
Blind and curtain cleaning that lifts dust without damaging delicate fabrics.
Planters, courtyards and outdoor areas kept tidy alongside your interior clean.
Secure document shredding for confidential business paperwork.
Moving out of an office? We'll do the end of lease clean so the handover is ready.
If a pipe bursts at 2am, our on-call team can get there fast for floods, spills and urgent incidents.
Pressure wash decking, paths, loading docks and car parks so outdoor areas don't turn slippery.
Supply and installation of heavy-duty entrance mats to trap dirt and water before it reaches your lobby.
Hard floors stripped, sealed and polished — professional treatments for timber, vinyl and hard surfaces.
Common questions
Offices, apartment buildings, shops, restaurants, clinics, schools, pools and event venues. We also do windows, floors and washroom supplies.
Yes, from the ground-floor lobby up to the top floor.
We sort that out with your building manager before we start. That usually means getting swipe cards, booking the service lift and finding out which loading bay our vans can use.
Yes. Early mornings and late nights are normal for us.
We do. Our crews are trained, insured and use proper access equipment. Windows facing the river usually need cleaning more often, so we'll suggest a schedule that makes sense.
Yes, along with lobbies, lifts, hallways and stairs. We keep in touch with your owners corporation or building manager throughout.
We clean food prep areas and staff rooms, always outside service hours.
Every one of our commercial cleaners holds a police check and a Working with Children Check.
That depends on the size of the space, but we plan the job around your booking times so the room is ready when you need it.
Yes. Floods, burst pipes, big spills. Call us and our on-call team will come out.
