Our Story

Rooted in Bayside.
Driven by Excellence.

Meet Marco Paladini, the founder bringing commercial-grade hygiene standards to Bayside homes.

Humble Beginnings

From High-End Hospitality to Commercial Cleaning

The global pandemic served as an unexpected catalyst. Finding himself without a job, Marco leveraged his extensive experience in high-profile hospitality venues to gain new opportunities in the commercial cleaning sector.

He had the honor of working for major Australian groups such as Vicinity Group (Chadstone Shopping Centre), Westfield, and Ikon Services. This provided invaluable insights into the strict, unforgiving standards of commercial hygiene—standards he now applies to every residential driveway, patio, and facade in Bayside.

Our Commitment to the Community

Marco's dedication to Bayside extends far beyond his business. During his tenure as Vice-President of the Lions Club of Brighton Inc, he established a strong foundation of service.

While he recently stepped back from the board to focus on expanding Hygienized, Marco remains a close friend of the Club. He continues to embody the spirit of giving back—whether it's offering his cleaning services to those in need or catching up with locals at the Bunnings sausage sizzle.
