Commercial Cleaning Checklist

A free printable commercial cleaning checklist — area, task, frequency, done by, initials and date, sized so one sheet covers a week on site.

First page of the Commercial Cleaning Checklist — Give a contract cleaning round a paper trail, so what was done and by whom is a signed line rather than an argument at the end of the month.

What this sheet is for

Give a contract cleaning round a paper trail, so what was done and by whom is a signed line rather than an argument at the end of the month.

Who it is for

Cleaning contractors, supervisors, facilities managers and anyone signing off cleaning on a site they do not clean themselves.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the area, task and frequency columns once, then photocopy the blank sheet.
  2. Initial and date each line as the job is finished, not at the end of the shift.
  3. Write the reason beside anything not done — a blank row explains nothing.
  4. Have the supervisor sign the sheet off and file it with the invoice.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: A contract cleaning sheet sized for a week: area, task, how often it falls due, who did it, initials and date. One sheet on the clipboard, one line per job.

How to use this sheet

  1. Fill in the area, task and frequency columns once, then photocopy the sheet for each week.
  2. Initial and date each line as the job is done, not in a rush at the end of the shift.
  3. Anything not done gets a line in the notes with the reason. A blank row tells the client nothing, and a blank row is what gets argued about.

Questions

Can this be used as a record for an audit or a client?

It is designed to be, in that every line carries a name, initials and a date. Whether it satisfies a particular contract or inspection regime is a question for that contract and for the rules where you operate — check before you rely on it.

Why is there no list of tasks printed on it?

Because a school, a restaurant kitchen and an office block share almost none of them. The tasks come from your specification; the sheet is the grid that proves they were done.
