Step-by-Step Process
Check your roster for today’s jobs (time, address, notes, access details).
Confirm you have the correct PPE and supplies (gloves, cloths, chemicals, mop/vacuum, etc.).
Wear the uniform and present neatly.
Plan travel route and allow buffer time (arrive 5 mins early).
If anything looks unclear (address, access, safety note), message admin/TL before leaving. Contact Us
Arrive on time and knock/ring once. Introduce yourself politely.
Confirm you’re at the correct address and correct client.
Ask: “Is there anything you’d like me to focus on today?”
Check access instructions (key, lockbox, code) and follow them exactly.
Do a quick safety scan (pets, clutter, wet floors, hazards).
Wash/sanitize hands before starting.
Confirm what areas you will clean today (based on the booking/plan).
Open windows/ventilation where appropriate.
Put your items in a safe spot (not blocking walkways).
Start with high-touch surfaces and the most-used rooms first.
If you notice anything unusual (strong odor, pests, unsafe environment), pause and escalate.
Follow the approved task list (don’t add extra tasks without approval).
Work room-by-room to avoid missing areas.
Prioritize:
Bathroom & toilet
Kitchen surfaces & sink
Floors (vacuum/mop)
Dusting reachable surfaces
Rubbish/recycling
Be mindful of client dignity and privacy (avoid personal papers/valuables).
If the client requests something outside scope, say:
“I’ll need to check with admin first — I’ll let them know.”
Confirm deep clean areas/tasks in the booking notes.
Focus on agreed deep-clean priorities first (time is limited).
Examples (only when approved): grout/soap scum build-up, detailed kitchen clean, heavier bathroom detailing.
- If deep clean can’t be completed within time, document what was done and what remains.
Do a final walkthrough of cleaned areas.
Ensure floors are safe (no wet/slip hazards left behind).
Return items you moved back to original place (unless instructed otherwise).
Ask the client: “Is everything looking okay today?”
Collect rubbish bags and dispose, as per instructions.
Lock up and follow exit instructions exactly (keys/lockbox).
Record job notes (what was completed, issues, client requests).
Report anything that needs follow-up (damage, access problems, safety concerns).
If required, submit forms/photos per policy.
Escalate immediately if you encounter:
Client appears unwell, distressed, or unsafe
Falls/injury, blood, biohazard
Aggressive behaviour, unsafe situation, threats
No access / wrong address / client not home (and no instruction)
Major hazards (electric/water leak, pests, severe hoarding, strong odour)
Anything outside scope the client insists on
What to do:
Pause work if unsafe
Contact TL/Admin straight away
Document clearly in job notes
Submit required form if applicable (incident/welfare)
