Frequently asked questions
I clean facades, glazed surfaces, and chimneys at height — ATECO code 81.22.09 or general cleaning?
Yes, 81.22.09. This code covers specialised building cleaning: facades, glazed surfaces, chimneys, boilers, and ventilation ducts. Ordinary interior cleaning of offices and homes falls instead under general cleaning 81.21.00.
I clean industrial machinery and ducts inside manufacturing plants — is that industrial cleaning or maintenance?
It falls here. The ATECO description lists specialised industrial cleaning — for example, machinery, water pipes, and ventilation ducts — within 81.22.09. This is cleaning, not repair. If the purpose is to eliminate pathogens or pests, it is sanitation and pest control under 81.23.10.
I do post-construction site cleaning, including sandblasting and steam-cleaning of external walls — is that 81.22.09?
Usually yes. This code covers cleaning of new buildings immediately after construction and steam-cleaning and sandblasting of external walls. It remains specialised building cleaning, not routine cleaning like 81.21.00.
