Darwin locals know best when it comes to commercial cleaning in The Top End.

After tropical rains in The Top End, including Darwin, it can also be hard to keep your outdoor areas looking spik and span. Extended periods of heavy rains result in residues on windows, pavers and external walls.

You may think the commercial cleaning industry must rely on hefty chemicals in the Northern Territory. This is not true of all commercial cleaning companies. It is possible to achieve hospital-grade infection control and mould-free environments with environmentally friendly products and practices.

Darwin, humidity and mould

Mould isn’t just unsightly. It can also cause a variety of health problems. Mould produces allergens, irritants and even toxic substances. Breathing in mould spores can trigger allergic reactions such as sneezing, running nose, red eyes and skin rash. It has even been known to bring on asthma attacks.

In Darwin and The Top End, mould is a fact of life. The damp, hot weather and continual rain mean that mould can creep into even the most well-ventilated areas. The best way to deal with mould is to ensure it doesn’t appear in the first place. Regular commercial cleaning will ensure your business stays mould free. Our experienced commercial cleaning team in Darwin knows all the tricks for keeping mould at bay. They will work with you to tailor a scheduled cleaning service to suit your business and ensure your premises stay safe and mould-free.

Why steam cleaning doesn’t work in Darwin

Traditionally, steam cleaning was considered the best way to give carpets a deep clean. Steam cleaning uses hot water to extract dirt, grime and stains from your carpets. It is a very effective method, but it requires time for carpets to dry before you can use the area again. The challenge in humid climates like Darwin is that carpets can take longer to dry after a steam clean, especially in poorly ventilated areas.

However, it is still essential to keep your carpets clean, fresh and free of dust mites, bacteria, allergens and odours, especially in commercial and health care settings. Luckily, commercial carpet cleaning technology and methods have advanced. We can easily keep your carpets clean and fresh using ‘dry’ carpet cleaning and encapsulation cleaning techniques.

Encapsulation carpet cleaning uses specialised equipment and absorbent, crystallising polymers that are scrubbed into the carpet and then immediately vacuumed up. The polymers attract and encapsulate grime and dirt leaving the carpet fresh, clean and immediately dry.

Pressure cleaning and graffiti removal in Darwin

During the wet season in Darwin, outdoor areas can take a real beating. Sometimes staying on top of your business’s outdoor areas can seem like a never-ending task. Long periods of tropical rain followed by intense heat encourages residues and moulds to build up on windows, pavers and walls.

Pressure cleaning can make your commercial or industrial property sparkle. Pressure cleaning is a simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to transform your business’s external areas from filthy to fabulous in no time.

Graffiti can be a real blight on your clean and safe image. Our specialised outdoor cleaners have the knowledge and expertise to clean up unauthorised graffiti attacks on your business quickly and effectively.

With so many areas of natural beauty in the Northern Territory, it’s no surprise that we are all increasingly concerned about our environmental impact.
