Day-to-day operating brief

What Cleaner work looks like in practice

A Real Estate Cleaner works in managed properties, vacant homes, offices or communal areas. Terms should define keys and alarms, occupied-property boundaries, cleaning schedules, COSHH information, sharps or biohazards, lone work, photographs and defect reporting. The cleaner should not dispose of tenant belongings, enter excluded rooms, mix products or represent a condition clean as proof that a property is legally ready for occupation. End-of-tenancy specifications should distinguish ordinary cleaning, inventory evidence and specialist remediation such as mould, infestation or biohazards. If existing damage is discovered before work begins, photographs and notification should precede cleaning so the employee is not later treated as responsible for marks, breakage or missing contents. Alarm faults or an unexpected occupant should pause entry until the property manager confirms the situation. Cleaning completion should note inaccessible areas instead of representing the entire specification as finished.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Clean assigned rooms and communal areas.
  • Control keys codes and alarm setting.
  • Use approved products and equipment.
  • Report damage pests and hazards.
  • Record completion access and exceptions.
