Housekeeper Checklist | ChecklistComplete

Details for Housekeeper Checklist

1. Clean all surfaces including floors, furniture, and countertops:

Make sure to use the appropriate cleaning products and methods for each surface. For example, use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces rather than using a wet rag which could damage wood or flooring.

2. Vacuum and mop all floors:

Be sure to move all furniture and clean in all corners and crevices. For tough areas such as under furniture or around appliances, use a crevice tool on the vacuum or a brush attachment for the mop.

3. Dust furniture and blinds:

Use a duster or microfiber cloth to avoid leaving streaks. For blinds, either use a dusting wand or remove the blinds and dust them outside of the window frame.

4. Wipe down all appliances:

Be sure to unplug the appliance first and then use a wet cloth or disposable wipes to clean the exterior. Do not use any type of abrasive cleaner that could damage the finish.

5. Sanitize bathrooms including toilets, sinks, and showers/tubs:

Use a household disinfectant or sanitizer to kill any germs or bacteria. Be especially careful when cleaning around the toilet area.

6. Change bed linens and make beds:

Make sure to straighten the sheets and blankets and tuck them in on all sides. If there are any decorative pillows or shams, remove them and wash them separately.

7. Wash windows inside and out:

Use a squeegee to clean the windows from top to bottom followed by a lint-free towel to remove any excess water droplets. For hard-to-reach places, use a window cleaning solution and extendable pole.

8. Empty all trash receptacles and replace liners:

Be sure to replace any broken liners or torn bags. Also, make sure that the receptacle is emptied regularly so that it does not overflow or become too heavy to move.

9. Restock supplies as needed (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.):

Check with the homeowner to see what other supplies might be needed such as dish soap, laundry detergent, or air fresheners. Make sure that these items are kept in an easily accessible place so they can be replaced as they run out.

10. Perform any other requested tasks:

If there is something specific that needs to be done such as cleaning the oven or taking out the trash, be sure to do it as requested. If there is anything you are unsure of, ask the homeowner for clarification.

FAQ for Housekeeper Checklist

1. Can a housekeeper use their own cleaning products?

It is usually best to use the products that are specifically designated for the surface being cleaned. However, if the homeowner prefers, the housekeeper can use their own products as long as they are safe and effective.

2. What should be done if furniture needs to be moved?

If furniture needs to be moved in order to clean underneath or around it, the housekeeper should ask the homeowner for assistance or guidance. It is important not to move any furniture that is fragile or antique without prior approval.

3. Can a housekeeper clean the windows from the inside?

4. What should be done if there is excess trash that needs to be removed?

The housekeeper should ask the homeowner where the trash receptacle is located and then empty it as needed. Always replace any ripped liners or broken bags. Additionally, regularly empty the receptacle to prevent overflowing and too much heaviness to move it.

5. What should be done if there are specific tasks that need to be performed?

If there is something specific that needs to be done such as cleaning the oven or taking out the trash, the housekeeper should ask the homeowner for clarification. If there is anything they are unsure of, they should ask before proceeding.
