- Commercial Cleaning Melbourne
ACS Commercial Cleaning provides professional retail shop cleaning services for stores, boutiques, showrooms, department stores and retail complexes across Melbourne. We understand that a clean retail environment is not just about hygiene. It is about customer perception, brand presentation and creating the first impression that turns foot traffic into revenue.
We currently clean Book Grocer, Ziggy Lou and Franck Provost Paris Australia. That range across independent bookshops, boutique retail and premium international salon franchises demonstrates our ability to match the cleaning to the brand standard each store demands.
Every ACS retail cleaner is a direct employee, police checked, trained and paid $45+ per hour. We are triple ISO certified, fully licensed under Victorian Labour Hire regulations, and we back every new contract with a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.
Running a retail business is demanding enough without worrying about whether the floors are polished, the windows are streak free and the fitting rooms are presentable. ACS handles the cleaning so you can focus on your customers. We work around your trading hours, use eco friendly products safe for customers and staff, and assign the same dedicated cleaning team to your store every visit.

A Clean Store is a Profitable Store
Customers make subconscious judgements about your store and your brand based on the cleanliness of your entrance, the shine on your floors, the clarity of your glass frontage and the freshness of the air when they walk through the door. In a competitive Melbourne retail market where customers can walk to the next shop in thirty seconds, presentation standards are a genuine revenue driver.
Franck Provost Paris Australia operates a premium salon brand where the floor to ceiling presentation standard is set by the international franchise. Book Grocer trades on a browsing experience where clean, well organised shelves and comfortable surroundings keep customers in the store longer. Ziggy Lou operates a boutique where every surface, fixture and display contributes to a curated customer experience. ACS cleans each of these to the specific brand standard their owners require, not a generic retail template.
Our Retail Shop Cleaning Services
Every ACS retail cleaning contract is documented in a written Scope of Works tailored to your store’s size, products, foot traffic and presentation requirements.
General Shop Cleaning All customer facing and operational areas cleaned from the moment you open. High traffic zones where dirt accumulates fastest including entryways, main aisles, checkout zones and fitting room corridors. All surfaces and fixtures dusted, wiped and sanitised. Bins emptied and waste disposed of responsibly.
Retail Floor Cleaning and Maintenance Retail stores use different flooring types including carpet, timber, vinyl, tile, polished concrete and natural stone, each requiring specific methods and products. Vacuuming and shampooing carpets to remove embedded dirt. Sweeping, mopping and buffing hard floors to maintain a polished finish. Stain treatment across all flooring types. Floor waxing and polishing for high shine surfaces. High pressure cleaning for outdoor pathways and entrances. High traffic zones receive more frequent attention than back of house areas. We schedule floor care intensity based on actual customer traffic patterns. For stores like Book Grocer where customers browse at ground level and spill coffee, floor appearance is directly tied to how long people stay. For Franck Provost where salon floors accumulate hair and product residue throughout the day, the cleaning approach is entirely different. One size does not fit all.
Window and Glass Frontage Cleaning Your storefront window is your primary marketing asset. Smudges, fingerprints, dust and watermarks reduce the visual impact of window displays. Regular interior and exterior window cleaning for all glass surfaces, display windows, glass doors, partitions, showcases and internal dividers. In high foot traffic Melbourne retail strips including Chapel Street, Bridge Road, Sydney Road and Brunswick Street, glass can become visibly dirty within hours. Your glass should be invisible so customers see your products, not the glass in front of them. Regular window cleaning is especially important for stores relying on window browsing to draw customers inside.
Display and Fixture Cleaning Dusty shelves, smudged display cabinets and grimy countertops undermine even the best visual merchandising. Dusting and sanitising all shelves, racks, mannequins, display units, pedestals and countertops. Point of sale equipment cleaning including EFTPOS machines and checkout screens. Well maintained fixtures help products sell themselves.
Fitting Room and Customer Area Cleaning Fitting rooms are high personal contact zones. Clean fitting rooms directly influence purchase conversion. Mirror cleaning, bench and seating sanitisation, floor care, door handle disinfection and regular deodorising.
Retail Bathroom Cleaning Customer facing bathrooms are one of the strongest signals customers use to judge the overall hygiene of a retail business. Thorough sanitising of toilets, sinks, tapware and tiles. Mirror polishing, floor mopping, consumable replenishment and odour elimination.
Back of House and Stockroom Cleaning Clean stockrooms improve staff efficiency and reduce workplace hazards. Stockroom floor care, staff area and break room cleaning, packaging waste removal and loading dock maintenance. A professional retail operation maintains standards behind the scenes as well as on the sales floor.
End of Lease Retail Cleaning If you are moving out of a leased retail space, ACS provides commercial end of lease cleaning designed to meet property manager inspection standards and protect your bond, including floor restoration, window cleaning and waste removal with a Bond Back Guarantee.
Showroom Cleaning Services Melbourne
Showrooms and product display environments require meticulous cleaning that supports visual merchandising. Whether you operate a car dealership, furniture showroom, kitchen and bathroom display centre or electronics showroom, presentation is everything. Display counter polishing, product area maintenance, floor care in high traffic zones, lighting fixture cleaning and glass cabinet care. Showroom cleaning requires careful handling of display items and merchandise that standard commercial cleaners are not trained for. We clean around product displays without moving, damaging or rearranging stock, using methods that enhance visual merchandising rather than disrupting it.
Department Store Cleaning Melbourne
Department stores present unique cleaning challenges due to scale, multiple product zones, high daily foot traffic and extended trading hours. Sales floor maintenance across multiple departments with zone specific methods, customer restroom cleaning at regular intervals, fitting room sanitisation, food hall and cafe area cleaning where applicable, escalator and lift lobby maintenance, and back of house cleaning. For department stores with extended or 7 day trading, we provide flexible scheduling including pre opening cleans, during trade maintenance and after hours comprehensive cleaning.
Retail Deep Cleaning Services Melbourne
Periodic deep cleaning provides a thorough refresh beyond routine daily cleaning. High pressure exterior cleaning, air vent and light fitting cleaning, full carpet extraction, floor restoration including strip and seal, upholstery cleaning, grout cleaning in tiled areas, and detailed attention to areas routine cleaning does not reach. Deep cleaning is recommended seasonally, before major sales events such as Boxing Day or end of financial year sales, after store renovations or fitouts, or as a periodic reset to maintain the highest presentation standards. For retail stores that trade seven days a week with limited after hours windows, we schedule deep cleaning during extended overnight sessions or across multiple early morning visits.
Why Melbourne Retailers Choose ACS
