Clear clutter before cleaning
Ask staff to remove personal items and secure confidential documents before scheduled cleaning. Keep walkways, emergency exits and work areas clear, and do not move equipment or belongings without permission.
Gather suitable supplies
Use products labelled for the surfaces being cleaned and follow workplace procedures. Keep chemicals in original containers, never mix products and store supplies securely. Use cloths separately for kitchens, washrooms and general surfaces.
Work through one zone at a time
Clean reachable high surfaces before desks and floors. Empty bins, wipe agreed surfaces, address washrooms and kitchens and finish floors after loose soil is removed. Electronics require device-compatible methods; do not spray liquids onto screens or keyboards.
Coordinate professional service
If a provider is responsible, confirm room list, timing, keys, alarms, products, inclusions and exclusions. Report spills, maintenance issues and areas needing specialist attention through the site process.
