Case Study  -  PETSTOCK

Client OverviewCompany: PetstockIndustry: Retail – Pet SuppliesLocations: Multiple sites across VictoriaTotal Area Serviced: 13,706.3 sqm

Petstock is a leading Australian pet supplies retailer, operating stores nationwide with a strong emphasis on creating clean, welcoming environments for customers and their pets. Across their Victorian network, heavy foot traffic, product handling, and day-to-day retail activities led to surface wear, dirt build-up, and dulled flooring. To maintain brand standards and customer experience, Petstock required a professional cleaning partner capable of delivering consistent, high-quality results across multiple store formats.

The Challenge

With a diverse portfolio of stores ranging from small-format retail outlets to large warehouse-style locations, Petstock faced several floor care challenges:
High Foot Traffic & Pet Activity: Dirt, fur, and debris from daily customer visits, often accompanied by pets, left floors looking worn and unhygienic.
Varied Flooring Types: A mix of concrete and tiled floors required different cleaning approaches for optimal results.
Surface Wear & Stains: Spills from pet food, grooming products, and general retail activity caused staining and surface dullness.
Multiple Sites, Tight Schedule: Coordinating cleaning across numerous locations while avoiding operational disruption was critical.
Special Treatments: Certain stores, such as Petstock Hawthorn East, required a full strip and seal to restore tile surfaces and protect them from future wear.
