The challenge
With a tight timeline and a flagship location at stake, the task was to deliver a flawless final clean for Culture Kings ahead of its grand opening. The site featured intricate and high-impact design elements, including a trapezoid structure housing LED panels across both wall and floor, all enclosed in abrasion-resistant polycarbonate. Overhead, mirrored polycarbonate ceiling panels added to the visual complexity, alongside custom signage and a mix of refined and resilient materials throughout. The challenge lay in executing a meticulous clean to premium standards, within a narrow window, all while coordinating closely with the builder’s program and site constraints.

Key responsbilities
In the Culture Kings commercial retail fit-out, cleaning included the comprehensive removal of construction residue, meticulous cleaning of all surfaces, and polishing of fixtures and fittings to a high standard. The scope also required ensuring all glass and flooring were pristine. Given the presence of delicate finishes and high-value installations, the team worked under strict time constraints, maintained full compliance with safety protocols, and ensured the space was immaculately presented for handover.

Comprehensive polishing of interior and exterior glass & LED lights, meticulous cleaning of walls, skirtings, fixtures, and fittings, as well as deep sanitation of bathrooms and kitchens. Removal of all temporary coverings and adhesive residues to reveal finished surfaces.
