Training and Standards for Cleaning Staff

Cleaning Checklists

Clear checklists guarantee that every cleaner follows the same process and nothing is missed. Example for a standard domestic clean:

  • Kitchen: Wipe counters, clean sink, empty bins, mop floor, wipe appliances.
  • Bathroom: Clean toilet, sink, shower/bath, mirrors, empty bin, mop floor.
  • Living room: Dust surfaces, vacuum carpets/floors, tidy cushions, wipe tables.
  • Bedrooms: Dust surfaces, make beds, vacuum, empty bins.
  • Hallways & stairs: Vacuum, mop (if hard floor), dust bannisters.

Custom checklists should also be made for deep cleaning, end of tenancy, and specialised services.
