Restore Your Business After Heavy Rains With Flood Cleaning Services

Brisbane has faced its fair share of historical floods, three years come straight to mind: 1974, 2011 and 2022. And now again in 2025, with Tropical Cyclone Alfred. So, with the current weather, it’s a prudent time to start considering the aftermath and how you bounce back–because we will bounce back, we’re Queenslanders! And as we already established, this isn’t our first rodeo!

Now that you likely have done everything you can do to protect yourself and your business and all you can do is wait for the blow, it’s time to turn your attention to the clean-up afterwards. That’s where our team comes in! We offer comprehensive commercial flood cleaning services to restore your business and make it safe again.

Impact of Floods on Businesses

Floods can be damaging to your business in many ways. There are the obvious structural, health and safety and loss of item concerns that everyone faces, but businesses also have to come to terms with lengthy downtime and operational disruptions.

As a business owner, it falls on you to ensure the enduring safety of your premises, employees and customers. When devastating floods strike it can pose concerns for the structural soundness of your building and present lasting safety concerns from mould and mildew growth as the sun comes out from behind those dark storm clouds. Further, flood waters can carry a myriad of bacteria, dirt and chemicals that can contaminate your property and furnishings.

Even once the rain is gone it can often take a significant amount of time to restore your business to a state where you can confidently resume your business and welcome customers and employees back. However, with professional commercial flood cleaning services, you will get the help you need to restore your property sooner, minimising costly downtime and guaranteeing a safe return to business.

What to do After a Flood

Whether it’s your first time experiencing a flood or your tenth, natural disasters are always stressful, especially when all you can think about is the potential damage and losses (both physical and financial) that you could face. However, the best–and in fact only–thing you can do is keep moving forward and working through the devastation one step at a time.

Ensure Safety

Safety is paramount always, but especially after natural disasters. In the aftermath of a flood, the dangers may not always be obvious, as we can’t always see the bacteria or chemicals left behind on surfaces or the structural damage inside the walls.

Because of this, it’s important to tread carefully when returning to do inspections of your property. Wear closed-in shoes and gloves when touching wet and potentially contaminated surfaces. And stay away from any areas that are clearly damaged and unsafe, such as broken windows, or collapsed structures.

Document Damage

Being careful to avoid unsafe areas, you can then start to document the extent of the damage. Take photos of property damages and make accurate notes of equipment or stock losses for insurance claims. It is important to do this before starting any clean-up processes, as any repairs or cleaning can impact your claims.

You may also get funding from your insurer to complete these jobs, so it’s beneficial to wait to see what you’re entitled to before paying out of pocket.

Contact Commercial Flood Cleaning Services

Once you know what’s required to restore your property, you can start contacting the required services to get the ball rolling. The state of your property will determine the order in which services are completed.

If your property has sustained significant damage it will need to be inspected and repaired to a safe state by a QBCC-licensed contractor. Our commercial flood cleaners can then come in and complete the required cleaning to make sure your business is safe from a health standpoint. You will then be well on your way to reopening and resuming business as usual, once you replace any damaged or contaminated furnishings and restock as necessary.

The Business Building Benefits of Programmed Office Cleaning Services

When working in an office with many staff members in close proximity and sharing areas it’s essential to keep the space clean. Not only do you need to keep your space presentable for when you invite clients in, but you also need to provide a clean space for your employees.

Clean and tidy spaces foster better morale and productivity, while also making staff proud to work in the environment provided. However, we understand that it can be hard to keep on top of cleaning the whole space when you’re busy running your business. That’s where Programmed Office Cleaning comes in: we can clean your space for you so you can focus on what you do best.

Deep Cleaning All Areas

At Distinguished Cleaning Service, our experienced office cleaners will clean all rooms and spaces within your office. Our programmed office cleaning service encompasses all shared and individual work areas as well as break rooms and even bathrooms.

With our services, we will make sure all rooms and workspaces are spotless, including:

Board or meeting rooms
Workspaces or offices
Dining or lunch areas
Kitchens or kitchenettes
Bathrooms
Reception areas

Our office cleaners use high-quality, non-toxic cleaning products and materials to wipe down all surfaces in all of these spaces, as well as vacuum floors, clean glass partitions or windows and scrub tiles and grout, leaving your space fresh and clean.

Wiping & Sanitising High-Touch Surfaces

We understand how common it can be for staff to eat at their desk to save time or attempt to work through mild illnesses, spreading food crumbs and germs throughout the office. To minimise this spread and reduce the risk of mould growth or encouraging pests to your premises, you need to keep on top of this mess.

During our office cleaning service, we wipe down and sanitise all high-touch surfaces to remove all traces of germs, pathogens and other dirt. This includes all desks, tables, chairs, door knobs, devices such as interactive screens or monitors, and any other surfaces in your office that staff or clients may touch while working.

Carpet Steam Cleaning

With the heavy foot traffic that your office would receive on a daily basis, it is inevitable for your carpets to start looking grubby with dirt, food crumbs, ink and other debris. This can make your whole office look drab and dirty if left unaddressed, as well as create bad smells if food crumbs or drinks are spilt on the carpet and then go bad.

During our programmed office cleaning services, we use industry-standard carpet steam cleaners to remove all stains and embedded dirt from your carpets. We can also clean any mats or rugs throughout your office, to keep your whole space welcoming and fresh.

Window Cleaning

Whether you have an office with a stunning view, a view of the street, or internal windows between your boardroom and offices, they can get covered in dirt and fingerprints. To protect your view and keep your office from looking grubby, these windows need to be cleaned frequently.

Our office cleaners can clean your windows or internal glass screens to remove all marks and restore the crystal clear finish. We can also clean your external windows up to the third storey from the ground to remove dust, watermarks from rain, and any other natural dirt that has accumulated over time.

High-Pressure Washing Outdoor Areas

The cleanliness of your office’s facade is just as important as your internal spaces as it provides a first impression for potential customers and is the first thing your staff see every day when they come to work. Keeping your facade clean, includes the front of your building, signage, pathways and driveways, and any external working or dining areas.

Our office cleaners have industrial high-pressure washers that can clean your business’s external areas and building’s facade without causing any damage or removing any paint. This ensures that your office always looks professional and welcoming for your staff and customers. This can also help to encourage more walk-in customers and make your existing customers more likely to trust your business as they know you take pride in your business.

Keep Your Space Fresh and Welcoming with Programmed Office Cleaning

Keeping your office clean doesn’t have to be the stressful undertaking that it always has been; you can outsource it to us and rest assured that you will always have a clean and tidy space. With our programmed office cleaning services, you can trust that every room, space and surface will be cleaned to a high standard, keeping your office looking great while also minimising the risks of germ spread, mould growth and pests showing up.

So, if you often struggle with maintaining your office space but want to keep your space clean, give us a call for a free, no-obligation quote. With Distinguished Cleaning Service, we can create a tailored plan for your office space and cleaning needs.

What is Included in End-Of-Lease Cleans For Businesses?

When it’s time for your business to move on to new, greater spaces, you need to make sure your existing space is in good condition for the next tenants. This includes making sure all internal and external (if included) spaces are clean and welcoming.

While you would be keeping your space clean throughout the year, once all the furniture is out you’ll start to notice all the space you missed simply because you couldn’t access them. But, these are the little things that your property manager or landlord will often notice, and when they do, it could cost you your bond.

To ensure a seamless transition from your existing space to your next, leave the cleaning to the experts. With our end-of-lease cleaning services for businesses, we can ensure that every inch of your property is clean and ready for you to hand back the keys and help you get your bond back in full.

What is an End-of-Lease Clean?

Regardless of whether new tenants are lined up to move in straight away or if the property is going onto the rental market, it is your responsibility as the lessee to return it in the same condition or better than when you first moved in. This is where commercial end-of-lease cleaning services come in.

Commercial end-of-lease cleaning is the process of restoring your property to its original state, ready for you to vacate and for the next tenants to move in. These cleans are generally completed after all of your furniture has been removed so that we can clean all of the hard-to-reach places and areas that have been blocked or covered by furniture.

We provide end-of-lease cleaning services to all commercial properties, including schools, offices and retail stores. Our cleaning plans can be tailored to your property and needs, however, they are designed to include all internal and external surfaces to provide a thorough and all-inclusive clean.

Inclusions of Commercial End-of-Lease Cleans

Before commencing the cleaning service, we will visit your property and complete a comprehensive inspection. This can be done before, during or after you have moved your furniture, as we just need to get a feel for the space and areas that will need to be cleaned.

We will then provide a detailed up-front quote tailored to your space and cleaning needs so you know exactly what to expect. Should you choose to accept this quote, we will work with you to schedule a convenient time to complete the cleaning and provide the following services:

Floors

Commercial floors often get grimy and dirty, bringing down the look of the whole space and are highly noticeable to property managers and landlords. So, we will thoroughly vacuum and/or mop all flooring including, carpets, tiles, lino, wood and more, as well as offering a few specialised services for certain flooring types.

Our cleaners use industry-rated carpet steam cleaners to remove embedded dirt and stains from carpeted floors. We also scrub tiles and grout, removing mould and mildew and making them shine like new. Finally, if any of your hard floors are sticky or beyond cleaning, we can strip and reseal them for a smooth finish.

General Internal Cleaning

During end-of-lease cleans, we complete thorough general cleaning of all surfaces in your property. This includes wiping down and disinfecting any permanent or remaining surfaces such as benchtops, desks, tables, shelving, and cupboards.

Additionally, we clean all walls, doors and ceilings to remove scuff marks, dirty handprints, general dirt and any other visible stains or marks. If your property has included bathrooms or kitchen areas, we can clean them too, ensuring a spotless finish of all interior areas and surfaces.

Windows

As part of our end-of-lease cleaning, we clean your internal and external windows, up to three storeys above ground. With our specialised window cleaning technology and skills, we ensure a streak-free finish on all glass surfaces.

Whether your property has glass panels to separate rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows for displays or just a few small windows for natural light, we will leave them crystal clear.

External High-Pressure Cleaning

The cleanliness of the facade and external areas of your property will also be of importance to property managers when deciding whether to return your bond. So, we can also complete high-pressure cleaning to restore your facade, signs, and any attached outdoor work or rest areas.

Lawn Maintenance

If your property includes grassed areas, it is your responsibility to leave them well-maintained before vacating. Our commercial cleaners offer lawn maintenance services alongside our other cleaning services. During this service, we will mow and whipper-snip your lawns, leaving them short, neat and presentable.

Pest Control

If your property manager or landlord suspects that you have had pets on the property or that pests have been present, they may request that you complete a pest control service along with cleaning before returning your bond.

We can add a pest control service to your end-of-lease cleaning plan if required. During this service, we will spray for flying or crawling insects such as ants, fleas and cockroaches and implement methods to catch, eliminate and deter rodents.

Get Your Bond Back with Commercial End-of-Lease Cleaning

For the best chances of getting your bond back and leaving a good impression on your property manager or landlord, it’s important to leave your property in a clean condition. However, you don’t have to do all the cleaning yourself.Contact our commercial cleaners to schedule an inspection and free quote for an end-of-lease cleaning service and leave all the hard work to us, while you focus on moving forward into your new property or venture.
