Common area cleaning for apartment communities
Scheduled cleaning for hallways, lobbies, elevators, and other shared spaces. Built for apartment communities and commercial buildings that need common areas presentable every week, not only at turnover. Shared spaces are the first thing residents and prospective renters see, and they show wear faster than any single unit.
RLS Cleaning Services works with property managers across Baltimore, Towson, and Harford County, and we are insured and bonded.
Who it's for
Common area cleaning is a good fit for:
- Apartment and garden-style communities
- Mid-rise and high-rise residential buildings
- Rowhome conversions with shared halls and stairs
- Commercial buildings with shared lobbies and corridors
What's included
We focus on the shared spaces that impact the overall appearance and cleanliness of your property. Our common area cleaning includes:
- Hallways and corridors
- Lobbies and entrance areas
- Stairwells and handrails
- Elevators and elevator lobbies
- Laundry rooms
- Trash rooms and chute areas
- Shared restrooms (if applicable)
Units that empty out can be booked for apartment turnover cleaning in Baltimore, and carpeted corridors can add carpet cleaning. For guidance on frequency, read how often common areas should be cleaned.
