What Are the Duties of an Office Cleaner?

A routine office scope may include emptying agreed bins, cleaning accessible desks and shared surfaces, vacuuming or mopping suitable floors, and cleaning kitchens and washrooms. The exact rooms, surfaces, products and frequency should be agreed in writing.

Follow access, alarm, privacy, security, waste separation and incident-reporting procedures provided by the site contact. Do not move confidential papers, equipment or personal items unless the agreed scope specifically requires it.

Read product and equipment instructions, use them only for intended tasks and observe ventilation and protective-equipment directions. Do not mix products. Disinfection, high-level hygiene, carpet extraction and specialist floor treatment require a clearly defined scope and suitable method.

Office cleaning does not automatically include maintenance, electrical work, pest control, mould remediation, hazardous waste or restoration. Report spills, damage, access issues or suspected hazards to the designated contact rather than attempting work outside the agreed role.
