2.1 WORKING EFFICIENTLY AND IN LINE WITH THE WORK SCHEDULE (SO 1, AC 1, AC 2, AC 3, AC 4, AC 5 – ON 4; SO 2, AC 1, AC 2, AC 3, AC 4, AC 5 – ON 16)

When working in cleaning or housekeeping it is important we understand our work schedules and timeframes for cleaning various areas or rooms. During your shift you may be asked to help some team members complete some urgent cleaning, or you may be asked by a customer to do fix a cleaning problem. It is important to adjust your cleaning schedule to complete all your high priority cleaning tasks before the end of your shift. High priority cleaning tasks commonly include, emptying waste bins, spot cleaning furniture and floors, cleaning bathrooms and spot cleaning high traffic and highly visible areas including entrances, lobbies and staff rooms.Tip: As a professional cleaner you should always wear a watch to help you effectively manage your time and understand the time remaining in your shift to complete all your high priority cleaning tasks.Developing a cleaning scheduleStep One – What needs to be done?It sounds crazy, but have you ever actually written down all those jobs around the house that it demands?Step Two – Group tasks by frequencyThe next step is to group the jobs into how often they need to be done.This will give you a much better idea of what you will need to do each day/week etc…..For Example –

Daily Tasks:–

Wipe the Bathroom Surfaces, Wipe all of the Kitchen Surfaces, Empty Dishwasher, 1 load of Washing, General Tidy, and Empty Kitchen BinStep Three – What time do you have available?Now we have looked at your ideal cleaning scenario, its time to get realistic and work out what’s possible and what may need changing more so it fits in with the actual time you have available. (If things fit – great! – if not then you will have to do some more thinking about things – prioritise and maybe cut back a little….)Step four: Creating a Cleaning Schedule that works for youLast by no means least is putting everything together that you have done so far and filling into your schedule when you will do each of the tasks you have listed – so that everything gets done as often as you want, within the time you have available.

General scheduling tips:-

  • If you find that you simply can’t fit everything in – start to prioritise. For example – Do you really need to hoover every day or would a quick hoover twice a week with a thorough hoover once a month (moving furniture etc…) actually be sufficient? You know what you will actually be able to do – and therefore work with that, then you are much more likely to be able to stick with the schedule.
  • Think about delegating tasks that you want to complete but really have no time to do them in – pay for help, delegate more to others in the house etc…
  • Don’t be too strict on when you do things – I used to write down time slots as well for my cleaning chores, but felt I worked better when I simply had a list of things to get through that day and fit them in around my scheduled stuff. I work better like this, so it’s worth understanding what works best for you and scheduling accordingly. You may find that having times to do things works better for you while you get used to everything, and then slowly you’ll start to know what’s required on each day anyway.
  • Add your schedule to your diary – I add mine at the front of my diary and then I can easily check on what my daily tasks are, and add them to my TO DO list for that specific day – that way nothing gets forgotten.
  • Be realistic – some things may have to wait as life gets in the way – but when you have worked out what those things will be, it’s easier to carry them over to the next less busy day/week.
