Service area
Giszowiec · Mysłowicka, Janów-Stary (granica)
Population: 16 000
Active businesses: 600
Giszowiec is one of Katowice's most distinctive districts — a historic working-class estate built in 1907, listed on the register of monuments, bordered by residential blocks from the 1970s and 1980s along Mysłowicka and Kolista streets. Around 16,000 residents live here, with approximately 600 local businesses registered with the CEIDG, and the building structure—low Finnish houses around Plac Pod Lipami next to large prefabricated tower blocks—requires a cleaning company to take a flexible approach to each property individually.
Our team primarily services residential communities, housing cooperatives and property administrators in Giszowiec. We clean stairwells in blocks on Mysłowicka and Pszczyńska streets, maintain order around Giszowiecki Park and near St. Stanisław Kostka Church, where foot traffic on weekends is noticeably higher than on weekdays. We also work at the boundary with Janów-Stary, where the building structure has a similar terraced character.
Since 2020, we have consistently employed staff exclusively on employment contracts—this sets us apart in the Silesian market, where temporary work or service agreements are standard. As a result, the same people visit your community every week, know the building's specifics, the residents, and their daily routines. Our employee retention rate is 96%, and the average contract with an administrator lasts 2.4 years.
From our operational base at ul. Zamknięta 10 in Cracow, we coordinate teams permanently stationed in Katowice—the journey to Giszowiec from the city center takes about 15 minutes by tram line 6 or by car via ul. Pszczyńska. Our regional coordinator is available to administrators within 15 minutes of notification, and each stairwell is equipped with a QR code enabling residents to report issues instantly.
What we serve here
Historic Giszowiec estate—cleaning with respect for the fabric
The historic part of Giszowiec comprises over 250 Finnish houses and structures protected by heritage conservation around Plac Pod Lipami. Cleaning these properties requires care—wooden facade elements, original window frames on stairwells, and stone thresholds will not tolerate aggressive chemicals or standard high-pressure washers. We use products certified with the EU Ecolabel, 98% biodegradable and neutral pH for natural materials. Our teams have been trained in working with heritage buildings—we understand that cleaning a Finnish house entrance hall is quite different from cleaning a hallway in a 1980s tower block. We cooperate with administrators managing both historic and newer structures, adjusting our schedule and technology to each building individually. When work requires conservator approval, we always consult the scope before starting.
Blocks on Mysłowicka, Kolista and Pszczyńska streets
Most residents of Giszowiec live in cooperative blocks and residential communities along Mysłowicka, Kolista streets and in the Pszczyńska area. Stairwells in these prefabricated buildings have typical characteristics—terrazzo, oil-painted banisters, tiles on landings, and wall paneling. As part of our standard subscription, we clean stairwells two or three times weekly, wash stairwell windows once monthly, rinse wall paneling quarterly, and thoroughly wash stairs twice annually. During winter, we add snow removal from entrances and gritting of sidewalks around buildings—particularly important for ramps and elderly residents, of which there are many in Giszowiec. All resident requests come through QR codes at mailboxes—response time within 24 hours.
Cleaning schools and kindergartens
Giszowiec has several educational facilities—Primary School No. 51, municipal and private kindergartens, and community centers. We clean them daily after classes end, usually between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM, and provide comprehensive cleaning services on weekends. We use disinfectants approved for children's facilities, maintain separate procedures for classrooms, bathrooms, dining areas and gymnasiums. All staff have current criminal record clearance (KRK), as required for work in facilities with children, and work exclusively on employment contracts. We hold liability coverage up to 500,000 PLN, protecting the school management from potential claims. After holidays, summer breaks and holiday periods, we perform general cleaning including window washing, floor machine cleaning and carpet shampooing in classrooms.
Post-renovation cleaning in older buildings
Apartment modernizations in Finnish houses, utility upgrades in cooperative blocks and common area renovations are routine in Giszowiec—the building stock is aged and requires continuous investment. After such work, construction dust, plaster residue, paint splatters and grit that settles into every crevice remain. We perform post-renovation cleaning in three stages: bulk removal of rubble and waste, hard surface washing with HEPA vacuuming, and final cleaning of glass, grout and fixtures. In historic buildings, we pay particular attention to wooden floors and stairs—using appropriate products for oiled and varnished wood. We typically complete projects within 1-3 working days depending on area, and provide quotations after a site visit.
What we clean in Giszowiec
In Giszowiec we operate according to four principles that distinguish us among Silesian cleaning companies—particularly in servicing communities with a mix of historic and block architecture.

About cleaning in Giszowiec
Do you service residential communities on the historic Giszowiec estate?
Yes, we have experience working with administrators managing properties listed in the heritage register. We use gentle products with EU Ecolabel certification, avoid high-pressure washing of wooden facades and consult with the administrator on any procedure affecting original carpentry or floors. Our teams are trained to work in Finnish houses around Plac Pod Lipami. We issue VAT invoices, carry liability coverage up to 500,000 PLN, and all staff work exclusively on employment contracts—no temporary worker rotation at your building.
What is the cost of cleaning a stairwell in a block on ul. Mysłowicka?
Price depends on the number of floors, cleaning frequency, and scope of additional work (window washing, wall paneling, snow removal). For a typical 4-story block cleaned twice weekly, monthly rates start from around 450 PLN net per stairwell. We prepare a full quotation after a site visit—our coordinator travels to Giszowiec within 1-2 working days of your request. The contract specifies your exact schedule, list of tasks and responsible contact, so you know precisely what you're paying for.
Do you clean schools and kindergartens in Giszowiec?
Yes, we service educational facilities—including Primary School No. 51 and surrounding kindergartens—with daily cleaning after classes and comprehensive holiday service. All staff hold current criminal clearance certificates (KRK), occupational health and safety checks, and are employed on employment contracts. We use disinfectants approved for children's facilities, separate sanitary from educational zones and maintain task documentation. Our 500,000 PLN liability coverage also extends to work in educational settings.
Do you handle post-renovation cleaning in Finnish houses?
Yes, we regularly perform this work in the old part of Giszowiec. The characteristics of Finnish houses—wooden floors, original carpentry, low-ceilinged rooms—require a more delicate approach than newer construction. We use HEPA-filter vacuums, apply products specifically designed for oiled wood, and remove dust in stages to avoid grinding it into grout lines. Standard post-renovation cleaning of a 60-80 m² Finnish house takes 1-2 days and costs from approximately 900 PLN net. We provide quotations after inspecting the property.
How quickly can a team reach Giszowiec in case of urgent request?
Our teams are permanently based in Katowice, coordinated from our operational base at ul. Zamknięta 10 in Cracow. The journey to Giszowiec from Katowice city center takes about 15 minutes by car via ul. Pszczyńska. In case of emergency (flooding, broken windows, accident cleanup) our regional coordinator responds within 15 minutes, and the response team typically arrives within 2-4 hours. Residents can report issues through QR codes at mailboxes—the request goes directly to the coordinator.
Do you provide sidewalk snow removal at blocks during winter?
Yes, snow removal from entrances, ramps and sidewalks adjacent to properties is a standard element of our contracts with Giszowiec communities. We work from 5:00 AM so residents heading to work have clear passages. We use road salt or plant-friendly products (calcium chloride) near the green areas of Giszowiecki Park. During heavy snowfall, the team returns during the day. We assume full responsibility for the obligations under the municipal cleanliness and order regulations on your behalf.
Is it the same cleaner every week, or do different people come each time?
It's the same person or permanent two-person team assigned to your property. We employ exclusively on employment contracts, not service agreements or through temporary agencies—this is why our employee retention rate is 96% and the average contract term with administrators is 2.4 years. In practice, the team knows the residents, understands which stairwell has baby carriages, where the emergency water valve is, and when the mailman arrives. This is a significant difference from companies rotating staff every few months.
