New to Vienna’s housing stock? A Zinshaus is the classic Viennese rented apartment building, many of them built before 1918, with terrazzo or stone stairs, wrought-iron railings and high ceilings. These surfaces need different care from the tiles and vinyl of a new building.
What we clean and how often – by building type
In a Zinshaus and in a new residential building we clean the stairs, landings, handrails, lift and entrance door once a week. Large complexes with several staircases usually need two visits a week, commercial buildings depend on footfall. These are our guide values:
| Area and task | Zinshaus (old building) | New residential building | Large residential complex | Commercial building |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stairs and landings: sweep, damp-mop | weekly | weekly | twice a week | 2–5 times a week |
| Handrails and railings: damp-wipe; dust balusters | weekly, balusters monthly | weekly, balusters monthly | twice a week, balusters monthly | every visit |
| Lift: floor, mirror, control panel, door tracks | weekly, if there is a lift | weekly | twice a week | every visit |
| Letterboxes and intercom panel: wipe, remove flyers | every two weeks | every two weeks | weekly | weekly |
| Entrance door and glass: both sides, handles, entrance mat | weekly | weekly | twice a week | every visit |
| Bin room: sweep, damp-mop, clean bin handles | every two weeks | every two weeks | weekly | by agreement |
| Basement: sweep shared corridors | monthly | monthly | every two weeks | by agreement |
| Stairwell windows: glass and frames | twice a year | twice a year | twice a year | 2–4 times a year |
| Winter: remove grit and salt from the entrance and ground floor | every visit in winter | every visit in winter | every visit in winter | every visit in winter |
The schedule is itemised so that property managers can use it for the annual operating cost statement (Betriebskostenabrechnung).
What sets our stairwell cleaning apart
Clear responsibilities and materials-aware cleaning, supervised by a master cleaner:
Care for historic surfaces
Terrazzo, natural stone, wooden stairs and wrought-iron railings are cleaned with pH-neutral agents that protect the material.
Lift and touch points
Handrails, door handles, intercom panels and light switches are cleaned on every visit; the lift car is cleaned to the agreed schedule.
Bin room
The bin room and bin storage areas are swept and wet-cleaned to the schedule, which helps to keep odours down.
Grit in winter
In the winter season we remove grit and salt from the entrance and ground floor on every visit. Clearing pavements is a separate winter service.
Keys and master keys
Keys are handled by our own staff only. Our €5 million liability insurance also covers the loss of keys.
One contact person
A site manager at Nobleclean carries out quality checks and is your point of contact for complaints, which are re-cleaned at short notice.

ÖNORM D 2050 for stairwells, in brief
ÖNORM D 2050 is the Austrian standard for cleaning services in buildings. Its maximum productivity values show how much area a cleaner can clean per hour at most – for stairwells, 140 m² per hour with full cleaning.
Full cleaning covers every task on each visit, partial cleaning covers agreed parts in rotation, and visual cleaning removes visible dirt only. For residential stairwells including corridors the standard sets lower values, because landings, doors and railings take time. The values are upper limits; travel and set-up times are not included.
| Area | Full cleaning (m²/h) | Partial cleaning (m²/h) | Visual cleaning (m²/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stairwells | 140 | 200 | 300 |
| Stairwells in residential buildings, including corridors | 65 | 140 | 200 |
| Lifts | 30 | 45 | 60 |
| Entrance areas | 200 | 300 | 500 |
| Basement and storage rooms | 250 | 300 | 600 |
