How to Use These Resources

Getting the Most from These Checklists

Three practical ways Melbourne businesses use these office cleaning checklists and schedule templates.

1

Brief Your Cleaning Company

Share these checklists with your current or prospective cleaning company as a briefing document. A professional cleaning provider should be able to confirm which tasks are included in their standard scope and quote accordingly for any additions.

2

Audit Your Current Service

Use the daily and weekly checklists to audit your current cleaning company's performance. Walk through the office after a scheduled clean using the checklist as your reference. Any areas that don't meet the standard should be raised with your provider in writing.

Adapt the checklists to your specific office layout and industry requirements to create a custom scope of works document. This becomes your agreed service standard with your cleaning company and serves as the basis for quality audit checks.
