Piotrowice-Ochojec is one of the most densely populated districts in Katowice, with approximately 27,000 residents spread across a mix of older development along Kościuszki and Piotrowicka streets and modern residential complexes in the Bażantów and Jankego area. This unique combination of 1970s apartment blocks, intimate multi-family housing communities, and contemporary apartment buildings with underground garages means that cleaning services require flexibility and careful logistical planning to handle multiple property types simultaneously.
Reefa has been operating in Katowice since 2020, and from the start we've championed a model that works particularly well in this district — a dedicated team assigned to each specific housing community or building. This approach means that after six months, our cleaner knows every hallway at Bażantów, understands that the elevator in the Armii Krajowej building needs washing in the morning before peak hours, and recognizes that the stairwell facing Las Murcki forest requires more frequent cleaning during autumn months due to fallen leaves.
All our personnel are employed exclusively on employment contracts — a fundamental difference from most local competitors who operate on freelance arrangements or contracts with self-employed individuals. For housing community boards, this ensures predictability: the same person cleans the stairwell week after week rather than a different person arriving each time. Our track record shows 96% staff retention year-on-year and an average client contract duration of 2.4 years.
From our operational base at ul. Zamkniętą 10 in Cracow, we reach Piotrowice-Ochojec via the A4 motorway in approximately 60-70 minutes, but we maintain a local team and supplies depot in Katowice, so our duty coordinator is available on-site within 15 minutes of an alert submitted via QR codes placed in each managed building.
What we serve here
Housing communities at Bażantów and Jankego — new developments
Estates built over the last decade in the Bażantów and Jankego area are modern apartment buildings featuring elevators, underground parking halls, common areas with extensive glazing, and often bicycle or stroller storage facilities. These spaces demand a completely different approach than traditional large-panel blocks — large glass surfaces (lobbies, entrances, railings) require more frequent cleaning, underground garage floors need periodic machine-assisted deep cleaning, and elevators with mirrors and stainless steel panels cannot tolerate random cleaning products. For communities in this area, we prepare schedules with daily tasks (elevator cleaning, lobby washing, stairwell maintenance), weekly duties (glazed surfaces, railings, garages), and quarterly deep cleaning (machine floor cleaning, interior facade washing). Each stairwell has its own QR code, which the cleaner confirms upon task completion.
Older housing along Kościuszki and Piotrowicka
The section of the district closer to the city center, along Kościuszki and Piotrowicka, consists primarily of four-story apartment blocks from the 1970s and 80s, often without elevators, featuring terrazzo stairs and sills, wooden railings, and older windows in the stairwells. The work is fundamentally different here — terrazzo reacts poorly to aggressive acidic cleaners, wooden elements require gentle care, and the absence of elevators means our cleaner must manually carry buckets and mops up 4-5 flights of stairs. Contracts with building managers and housing communities in this area often specify cleaning two to three times per week rather than daily, with thorough stairwell washing once per week. We use products certified with the EU Ecolabel, 98% biodegradable — important in older blocks where chemical odors linger long on stairwells without mechanical ventilation.
Medical and educational facilities — Armii Krajowej and surroundings
Piotrowice-Ochojec is home to several primary health care clinics, specialist offices, and educational facilities — kindergartens and primary schools. Cleaning these facilities falls under health and safety regulations mandated by local health authorities: surface disinfection protocols, color-coded equipment (separate mops for examination rooms, hallways, and restrooms), and documentation of biocidal products used. Our team has experience working under these requirements, as we manage medical facilities in Cracow as well. School and kindergarten cleaning takes place outside operating hours, typically between 3 PM and 8 PM, with additional staff present during lunch breaks. Our liability insurance covers up to 500,000 PLN, including damage to medical equipment and educational devices.
Post-renovation cleaning in developer apartments
The pace of new development in the Bażantów, Jankego, and Armii Krajowej area means we regularly perform post-construction cleaning in newly delivered apartments. This is a one-time service but technically the most demanding — gypsum and cement dust must be removed from every crevice, grout requires special cleaning, and windows covered with mortar residue and installer labels must be cleaned with scrapers without risk of scratching. We work in 2-3 person teams equipped with industrial HEPA-filter vacuum cleaners, completing a 70 m² apartment in approximately 6-8 hours. We provide quotes based on square footage and photos or an on-site inspection, usually the same day.

About cleaning in Piotrowice-Ochojec
Do you service housing communities on new estates at Bażantów and Jankego?
Yes, this is one of our primary service segments in Piotrowice-Ochojec. New estates in this area require lobby glazing service, stainless steel elevator cleaning, and regular deep cleaning of underground garage floors. We work with housing community boards under annual framework agreements with monthly flat fees, tailoring schedules to building specifics — number of stairwells, porter availability, peak resident traffic times.
What is the cost of stairwell cleaning in a block on Kościuszki or Piotrowicka?
Price depends on several factors: number of floors, cleaning frequency (2x, 3x per week, or daily), elevator presence, and additional spaces like basements or laundry rooms. For a typical four-story block without an elevator on Kościuszki, cleaned twice weekly with thorough washing once per week, the monthly flat fee typically falls between 600–900 PLN net. We provide exact quotes after an on-site visit, usually within 2 business days.
Do you clean kindergartens and schools in the district?
Yes, we service educational facilities under health and safety protocols mandated by local health authorities. We work outside operating hours, typically between 3 PM and 8 PM, using color-coded equipment with separate tools for classrooms, hallways, and restrooms. We use EU Ecolabel certified products, 98% biodegradable and safe for children. Our liability insurance covers up to 500,000 PLN, including damage to classroom furnishings and multimedia equipment.
How quickly do you respond to reports of soiling in apartment blocks?
We place QR codes in each serviced stairwell, allowing residents or housing community boards to report unplanned interventions — spilled liquids, broken glass, post-renovation debris. Our duty coordinator receives the alert and dispatches the team to the site. In Piotrowice-Ochojec, where we maintain a permanent local team, response time from alert to cleaner arrival averages 15–45 minutes during business hours.
Do you offer post-renovation cleaning in apartments from new developments?
Yes, this is a common service in this district given the pace of developer activity. Post-construction cleaning is performed by 2-3 person teams with industrial HEPA-filter vacuum cleaners. For a 70 m² apartment, the work typically takes 6–8 hours and includes dust removal from every surface, window and frame washing, grout cleaning, and fixture cleanup of silicone residue. We provide quotes based on square footage and photos or an on-site inspection, usually the same day.
Do you have experience with older large-panel blocks?
Yes, a significant portion of our managed properties in Piotrowice-Ochojec are apartment blocks from the 1970s and 80s along Kościuszki, Piotrowicka, and Spółdzielczości. We understand that terrazzo does not tolerate aggressive acidic cleaners, wooden railings require specialist care, and the lack of mechanical ventilation means we cannot use strongly scented products. That's why we use biodegradable, neutral-pH formulations and work with employees on permanent contracts who understand each building's specific needs.
