Building Cleaning
Building Cleaning
A written schedule of services, the same registered team, and the price in writing after a free site visit.
02. What Building Cleaning at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Klosterneuburg at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
Stairwell and common areas
Steps, landings, handrails, the lift inside and out, the post boxes, cellar corridors and the loft access — with a cycle for each area, not a flat rate for the building.
Sanitary and ancillary rooms
The bin store with its containers, the bike store, the laundry room and the caretaker's cupboard. The bin store is wet-cleaned and disinfected, because that is where the smell that gets complained about comes from.
The glass in the building
Entrance door, lobby, stairwell windows, light well and glass blocks. Frames and rebates are part of it — otherwise the dirt runs back over the pane in the rain.
Courtyards, entrance and bin area
Sweeping, rinsing the wet areas, keeping channels and gullies clear, removing bulky rubbish from corners and planting.
Periodic and cyclical work
Deep cleaning of floors, re-treatment, high-level surfaces, lights, ventilation grilles and the gaps between radiators, to an annual plan with fixed dates.
Schedule of services and record
For every area the scope, cycle and agent are fixed, every visit is recorded with the date, and periodic work with photographs. The site supervisor comes to inspect at a fixed interval.
03. Building Cleaning: Bling Bling vs. the competition
Buildings rarely give trouble over the work itself; they give trouble over the schedule of services. If it states a flat rate instead of area, cycle and scope, the argument starts with the first letter of complaint. On top of that, one building holds floors lying side by side that contradict each other chemically, and periodic work without an annual plan is left undone until it is no longer cleaning but repair. We write the schedule area by area, with the agent and the pH range wherever that matters, and put the periodic work on fixed dates. An inspection round by the site supervisor, a dated record of each visit and rectification within 48 hours are part of it.

06. 10 reasons for Building Cleaning from Bling Bling
What a cleaning company has to be measured against — and which of it can be verified.
1In business since 2014
A family firm, not a franchise and not a broker — whoever quotes also carries out the work.
2Registered core team
Permanently employed and properly registered. No chain of subcontractors where nobody is liable at the end.
3The same people every time
The team knows the building, the access and the routines. Cover is arranged and named in advance.
4€3m public liability
Personal injury, property and financial loss covered; the certificate is attached to the quotation.
5RKI/VAH-listed agents, HACCP
Listed agents, trained staff, a cleaning and disinfection plan for each building.
6Multilingual
German, English and five further languages — the briefing gets through.
7No price without a site visit
A flat price over the phone rarely holds. After the visit the framework is set out in writing. A monthly flat rate applies to weekly recurring cleaning; one-off and deep cleans by effort - hourly, per square metre or flat - travel included.
8Dated proof
Record of each visit and photo documentation, reported monthly.
9One contact for the whole building
Regular cleaning, glass, the garage and special work run to the same plan with the same staff, instead of three firms tripping over each other in the same stairwell.
10A record you can pass on
A dated record of each visit and photographs of the periodic work. That is the document a property manager can put before the owners' meeting.
07. Building Cleaning in 5 more cities
Bling Bling works in Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Klosterneuburg — with its own staff on site, not with subcontractors hired in.
08. Building Cleaning for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
A change of property manager
New manager, new schedule: record the condition, set the cycle, put dates on the periodic work for the year.
After a new building is completed
An initial clean after handover, then the regular cycle. Fine dust keeps coming for the first few weeks.
After refurbishment in an occupied building
Dust in the stairwell, protective film, adhesive residue on steps and handrails. That is a job of its own before returning to the cycle.
A run of complaints from residents
Smell in the bin store, marks in the lift, cobwebs in the cellar corridor: usually what is missing is not effort but an area in the schedule.
Before the budget is agreed
Deep cleaning, window cleaning and special work should be planned and agreed once a year, so that they do not become more expensive by being ordered as the occasion arises.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Building Cleaning
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
One building holds floors that contradict each other
Terrazzo, limestone and unpolished natural stone in the stairwell contain lime: an acidic sanitary cleaner etches them dull, and that is a change to the material, no longer soiling. Linoleum tolerates neither a strongly alkaline agent nor standing water, because the linseed oil saponifies and the jute backing swells; rubber flooring tolerates neither solvents nor a film-forming coating. That is why the schedule of services gives the agent and the pH range for each area, not just the cycle.
The grey haze usually comes from too much cleaner
Overdosed mopping solution dries as a surfactant film; the film binds dust, gets thicker with every round and looks like more dirt than is actually there. On porcelain stoneware with an open microstructure it takes hold particularly well, because the structure holds it mechanically. What helps is dosing to the manufacturer's specification, changing the mop textile more often and a neutral rinse pass — not more product and not more pressure.
Most of the dirt is carried in over a few metres
Whatever is not given up in the entrance area later lies throughout the building and has to be removed there piece by piece. A barrier matting zone only works once it is walked over several paces: a short mat in front of the door picks up hardly any fine dirt and gives it back when wet, and it needs cleaning on a cycle of its own. At the site visit we say where the zone is too short and which areas consequently raise their own cycle.

●. Frequently asked questions about Building Cleaning
What does Building Cleaning cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done. Two rules apply everywhere: a monthly flat rate is only offered for recurring cleaning at least once a week, including stairwells. One-off jobs, first cleans and deep cleans are billed by effort - depending on the service by the hour at a higher rate, by square metre or as a flat price - and travel time there and back counts.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
