Day-to-day operating brief

What Office Cleaner work looks like in practice

An Office Cleaner services workspaces, kitchens, washrooms and shared areas before, during or after normal business hours. The setting contains confidential papers, screens, personal belongings and secure rooms that require careful access rules. Contract terms should specify floors and frequencies, shifts, keys and alarms, clear-desk boundaries, secure waste, lone working and which technical or high-level tasks are excluded. A tidy desk is not permission to open drawers, move devices or read documents, and discovered information must remain confidential.

  • Clean assigned desks floors and shared rooms.
  • Service kitchens and washrooms.
  • Empty ordinary and confidential waste correctly.
  • Control keys codes and cleaning cupboards.
  • Protect documents devices and belongings.
