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.
