Cleaning maintenance at the Fabra Observatory

When a building is simultaneously a scientific facility, a heritage site and a public-facing venue, cleaning can’t be “just a quick pass.” It requires a maintenance approach that delivers real hygiene, a consistently immaculate appearance, and maximum respect for materials and original elements. At Net i Pulit, we handle the Fabra Observatory’s routine maintenance with a service scheduled at the start of the day (6:45 to before 8:00) to leave every area ready before activity begins.

Why cleaning maintenance here is different

The Fabra Observatory demands a higher level of care than a standard building because:

• There are very old areas where aggressive friction or the wrong product can leave marks.

• Some rooms preserve historic furniture and original pieces, requiring delicate dust control and minimal contact.

• Exhibition rooms include plexiglass (acrylic) covers protecting certain elements/optics, which are prone to haze and micro-scratches.

• The objective is to achieve a premium “ready-from-first-hour” result without disrupting the venue’s daily rhythm.

What the maintenance service includes

• Restrooms: thorough cleaning and disinfection, focused on high-touch points.

• Offices: hygienic, tidy workspaces with discreet, consistent upkeep.

• Common areas: entrances, corridors, stairs and handrails—image and safety first.

• Exhibition rooms: careful upkeep to avoid visible marks on sensitive surfaces.

• Consumables: toilet paper restocking (checked and replenished as part of the service).

Zone-by-zone protocol (how we work)

1) Restrooms: hygiene, disinfection and zero incidents

Restrooms must be operational and consistent from the first moment:

• Cleaning and disinfection of toilets, sinks, taps and surrounding surfaces.

• Detailed attention to high-touch points: door handles, flush buttons, dispensers, taps, switches.

• Toilet paper restocking and a final visual check to ensure everything is ready.

2) Offices: a “quiet clean” that feels professional

The goal is a clean you notice without the space feeling “disturbed”:

• Controlled dusting with suitable microfiber (minimising airborne particles).

• Wipe-down of shared touchpoints (handles, switches, shared counters/areas).

• Waste disposal and a final visual pass to leave the space organised and comfortable.

3) Common areas: first impression + safety

These spaces define the overall perception of the building:

• Stairs and corridors: consistent upkeep to prevent visible build-up and marks.

• Handrails: systematic cleaning (among the most frequently touched elements).

• Work done in phases to maintain a uniform finish and safe walking surfaces.

4) Exhibition rooms: precision and plexiglass care

Here, quality is judged instantly—by eye:

• Special handling for plexiglass/acrylic: gentle technique, appropriate tools, minimal pressure, and a finishing pass to avoid haze.

• Work by sections to maintain a consistent look throughout the room.

• Focus on visible surfaces (covers, display areas and surrounding finishes) to ensure an even, mark-free result.

  
  

Sensitive areas with special care

Some zones require an extra level of attention and restraint:

• A very old auditorium: careful cleaning that preserves finishes and avoids aggressive abrasion.

• Historic rooms with original furniture: dust control with minimal contact and no dragging or harsh friction.

• Plexiglass protecting certain exhibition elements/optics: controlled cleaning to preserve clarity and prevent micro-scratches.

Scheduling: early-morning service so the venue starts ready

The maintenance is planned for a very early window (6:45 to before 8:00) to:

• leave restrooms and common areas ready before footfall,

• maintain exhibition areas with maximum care and minimal interference,

• ensure a “first-hour” finish that sets the standard for the rest of the day.

Quality control: consistency, not just one good day

A professional maintenance service is defined by repetition and reliability:

• Area-based checklist (restrooms / offices / common areas / exhibition rooms).

• Final review of critical points (high-touch areas, visible marks, consumables).

• On-the-spot resolution of issues before closing the service.

The result we aim for

• Restrooms that are sanitised, stocked and incident-free from the start of the day.

• Offices that feel clean, ordered and professional.

• Common areas that transmit care: no obvious marks, no build-up, safe circulation.

• Exhibition rooms with a truly “clean finish”: clear plexiglass, no haze, and sensitive surfaces respected.

Who this type of maintenance is for

This model fits especially well for:

• heritage and cultural venues,

• buildings with exhibition rooms, display cases or sensitive surfaces,

• offices with shared use,

• spaces where image, hygiene and material preservation are non-negotiable. Net i Pulit provides maintenance services in Barcelona and the Vallès, adapting schedules and protocols to each facility.

FAQs

Do you clean while the venue is open?

In this case, the service is scheduled early (approx. 6:45 to before 8:00) to leave everything ready before activity begins.

Do you restock toilet paper?

Yes. Restocking is included so restrooms remain fully operational.

How do you clean historic areas without damaging them?

We use a low-impact approach: suitable tools, controlled movements and priority on preserving finishes and materials.

Does plexiglass require special treatment?

Yes. It’s sensitive to haze and micro-scratches, so we apply a specific technique and a finishing pass to keep it clear and even.

Do you offer similar maintenance in Barcelona and the Vallès?

Yes. We build tailored maintenance plans based on the facility type, usage patterns, schedules and critical points.

If you need professional cleaning maintenance for a heritage venue, office or public-facing facility in Barcelona or the Vallès, we can define the right schedule, frequency and zone-by-zone protocol.
