Clean Splash cleans retail along Bay Street and the Port Melbourne waterfront — the strip shops and cafes, the hospitality venues facing Station Pier and Beacon Cove, and the showrooms along Williamstown Road.
Sand and salt are the whole story
Every retailer on this side of Port Melbourne is dealing with two things that inland strips never think about. Sand comes in on feet from the beach and the promenade, and it is abrasive — it grinds into vinyl, timber and tile and dulls a floor finish far faster than ordinary foot traffic. Salt air films glass within days and corrodes door hardware, window tracks and stainless fittings.
Neither is solved by cleaning harder. Sand needs proper matting and a genuine entry-zone routine so it never reaches the main floor. Salt needs the right frequency on glass and a rinse regime on hardware rather than a stronger chemical, which will damage the finish faster than the salt does.
Weekday trade and weekend trade are different businesses
Bay Street runs on local and office trade during the week, then turns over to visitors, markets and cruise-ship arrivals at Station Pier on weekends. The weekend load is heavier, messier and concentrated into a few hours. Most venues here are better served by a lighter daily clean plus a substantial Sunday-night or Monday-morning reset, rather than an even spread across seven days.
What a retail scope covers
- Shopfront glass, frames and tracks at a higher frequency than inland, because of salt film.
- Entry matting and the first three metres, which is where sand gets stopped or does its damage.
- Floors by type — timber, tile, vinyl and polished concrete each need their own pad and chemical.
- Outdoor seating and footpath areas, including tables, umbrella bases and the paving itself.
- Back of house and food prep — degreasing, splashbacks, cool room seals, floor waste and drains.
- Waste and cardboard broken down and sorted.
Hospitality and food premises
Bay Street is dense with cafes and restaurants, and for those the clean has to survive an inspection rather than just look presentable. We work to a written site checklist covering prep surfaces, splashbacks, floor waste, drains, cool room seals and under-bench areas, with a quality check before we leave. Degreasing runs as a monthly periodic item, which is much cheaper than dealing with it once it has built up. Records of what was cleaned and when are available for your food safety program.
Insurance, checks and contracts
We carry $20 million public liability insurance, and every cleaner who attends your site is police checked. There are no lock-in contracts. A certificate of currency is available on request.
Frequently asked questions
Can you clean outdoor seating areas?
Yes, including periodic pressure washing of the paving. Council permit areas are cleaned early before trade starts.
How often should shopfront glass be done here?
More often than you would inland. Weekly is a reasonable baseline on the waterfront; fortnightly is usually visibly too long.
Do you clean the carpet in a fit-out?
Yes — see carpet steam cleaning in Port Melbourne.
