Common Area Cleaning for
High-Rise Condominiums
A Higher Standard of Clean
According to CMHC's Operations Manual for owners and managers of multi-unit residential buildings, the "Prestige standard" represents the highest tier of cleanliness for multi-unit residential properties in Canada. It is a structured system of scheduled housekeeping that sets industry best practices. Their Cleaning Guide (Page 36-37) outlines the location and frequency of high-traffic common areas in a high-rise condominium. This guide is used by accredited CMRAO property managers across Ontario to "inspire compliments and make complaints rare" at their property (Page 7). Prestige standard cleaning goes beyond basic janitorial work. The result is a building that feels clean, cared for, and professionally operated, each and every day.

Impact on Building Operations
Prestige standard cleaning focuses on the spaces that shape first impressions and the daily experience of owners and guests.

Prestige standard cleaning directly impacts resident satisfaction and retention, property value, management intervention, and the lifespan of common area features and finishes.
