Fresh Desk
A kinder way to clean.
Commercial cleaning with purpose.
Your workplace says a lot about your organisation.
Not just how clean it is. How it's run. Who it creates opportunities for. The standards it chooses to uphold.
That's where Fresh Desk comes in.
We provide commercial cleaning services for large offices across Aotearoa, combining reliable cleaning with measurable social and environmental outcomes. The result is simple: a workplace that feels good to walk into, backed by a supplier you can feel good about working with.
Why organisations
choose Fresh Desk
We don't separate
service from impact
A cleaning contract should deliver more than clean floors and tidy kitchens; it should create good jobs, reduce waste, support your sustainability goals, and make life easier for your facilities team. That's why our customers work with us.From government agencies to large corporates and purpose-led organisations, our clients want a supplier that backs up its promises with action and data.
What that looks like
Our 97% average quality audit score and 89% staff wellbeing score aren't one-off results — they're consistently measured, reported, and maintained year on year. That's because caring for our people is part of how we do the work, not separate from it. Every cleaner is paid the Living Wage or above — not as an aspiration, but as a baseline we've held since 2015. And as an Ākina-certified Social Enterprise, our commitment to social impact isn't self-declared — it's independently verified and built into how we operate.
Sustainability without
the greenwash
Anyone can make environmental claims.
We'd rather show our work. Every cleaning product we use meets or exceeds Eco Choice Aotearoa standards — safer for people, workplaces, and waterways, and sourced locally wherever possible. Beyond the clean, we also help customers understand what they're actually throwing away and where waste can be reduced. Some sites have increased landfill diversion by up to 48%. That's not a promise we make to every customer — every building is different. But good data creates better conversations, and better decisions.
Good jobs create
better cleaning
Cleaning quality starts with people. When cleaners are paid fairly, supported properly, and treated with respect, they tend to stay longer, care more, and deliver more consistent results. It's not complicated — it's just good business.
Our team includes people who've faced barriers to employment and are building careers through training, NZQA qualifications, and leadership opportunities. For some, Fresh Desk is a long-term career. For others, it's a stepping stone to their next chapter. We're proud of both.
Services that keep workplaces running smoothly
Our services are designed to keep workplaces running smoothly — from day custodians who maintain kitchens, bathrooms, shared spaces, and high-touch surfaces throughout the day, to comprehensive evening cleaning of offices and common areas after hours. When deeper attention is needed, our periodic deep cleans cover carpets, upholstery, hard floors, glass, and workstations. We also offer waste audits to help teams understand their waste streams, reduce landfill, and track progress over time.
Are we a good fit?
Fresh Desk is designed for organisations that need more than a cleaning contractor.
Fresh Desk is designed for organisations that need more than a cleaning contractor. We typically work best with large offices between 5,000 and 12,000 sqm — government agencies, corporate head offices, and multi-site organisations with sustainability, procurement, or ESG commitments and a preference for fewer, better-coordinated suppliers.
If you're after the cheapest quote, we're probably not the right fit. If you're looking for a reliable partner who can help deliver on service, sustainability, and social procurement goals, we'd love to kōrero.
Certified. Measured. Accountable.
Fresh Desk is certified as a Living Wage Employer, an Ākina Certified Social Enterprise, Eco Choice Aotearoa, and holds an EcoVadis Silver rating. The numbers don't tell the whole story — but they help keep us honest.
Let's talk
Tell us about your workplace — what's working, what's frustrating your team, and what you'd like to improve. We'll listen, ask a few good questions, and come back with practical options. No hard sell, no grand promises. Just good cleaning, done properly.
