The aged care cleaning problem

For residents, the home is where they eat, sleep, see family and spend most of the day. A musty lounge, crumbs left on a dining chair or a grab rail that hasn't been wiped is part of their daily life, not just a facilities issue.

What usually goes wrong is consistency. The cleaner changes from week to week, tasks get dropped on a busy shift, and nobody can say for sure what was done yesterday. Facility managers end up checking the work themselves, and families start raising concerns at the front desk.

Residents feel the disruption too. A stranger in the hallway, a floor polisher running through afternoon rest or a cleaner who never says hello can make someone feel less at home.

What's included in aged care cleaning

Regular cleaning

  • Lounges, dining areas, hallways and activity rooms
  • Resident rooms and ensuites, where they're part of the scope
  • High-touch points: grab rails, nurse call buttons, door handles, switches, lift panels and taps
  • Communal bathrooms and visitor toilets cleaned and restocked
  • Reception, nurses' station surfaces, staff rooms and offices
  • Floors kept clean, dry and clear of trip hazards
  • Waste and recycling taken out

Periodic and specialist cleaning

  • Carpet steam cleaning and lounge chair upholstery cleans
  • Hard-floor scrubbing and refinishing
  • Windows, sliding doors and glass, inside and out
  • Dusting of high ledges, vents, ceiling fans and fittings
  • Additional high-touch rounds on request, for example in winter
  • Detailed cleans of vacated rooms before a new resident moves in

How we work around your residents

  • Residents first, always.

    Our cleaners knock before going in, work quietly and plan around meals, activities and rest times. A warm hello is part of the role.

  • Routines with an infection-control focus.

    High-touch points are wiped every visit. Colour-coded cloths and mops keep bathroom equipment out of dining and living spaces, and each area follows the same checklist in the same order.

  • Familiar faces.

    We keep a regular team at your home so residents and staff know them. New team members are inducted on your procedures before their first shift.

  • A record you can show.

    Your account manager inspects in person, and every clean is logged, so you can answer questions from families or auditors.

Sydney aged care: what we plan for

Sydney's aged care homes and retirement villages are spread right across the basin, from the North Shore and northern beaches to the Sutherland Shire, the Hills district and the growing south-west. Travel times across the city are long, so we build cover for each region in advance and a sick day never means a missed clean. Humid summers keep residents indoors with the air conditioning on, which means lounges and dining rooms are busier and need more frequent care. Summer storms bring wet entries and slippery paths, so we watch floors closely. Many homes also ask for extra high-touch rounds through the cooler months.

How it works

  1. 01 Free site walk-through.

    We visit, look at the space and talk through what's working and what isn't.

  2. 02 Written scope and quote.

    Every area, task and frequency is set out in writing before we start.

  3. 03 Clean, inspect, report.

    Your regular team cleans, your account manager inspects, and everything is logged in NEXUS.

FAQs

It depends on the size of the home, the number of wings and common areas, whether resident rooms are included, how many hours a day you need and any periodic work. After a free walk-through you get a written scope and quote that shows exactly what is covered. Call (02) 9055 7150 to book.

As far as possible, yes. We keep a regular team at each home because familiar faces matter. When cover is needed, we send someone who knows your home or brief them fully before they start.

High-touch points are cleaned every visit, colour-coded equipment stops cross-use between areas, and the checklist stays the same on every shift. We fit our routines to your own infection-control procedures rather than replacing them.

Yes, where it's part of the scope. Some homes ask us for common areas only, and others add resident rooms and ensuites. We'll settle the mix at the walk-through.

Yes. If you need more high-touch rounds or a vacated room cleaned, tell your account manager or log it in NEXUS and we'll schedule it.

Every clean, inspection and request is in NEXUS, so you can look up any area on any day. Your account manager also visits and inspects the home regularly.
