When you work for a professional residential home cleaning company, you must have a strong awareness for churning out total customer satisfaction. 

The motto at all quality house cleaning companies is generally, "Good isn't good enough!"

The First Cleaning Visit

The first time you clean for a new client generally involves a top-to-bottom, "deep cleaning".  There are tasks that you'll need to do in the bathrooms, kitchen and other rooms to get them up to

 standard.  "Old dirt" requires a lot more attention and elbow grease than "new dirt" does.  These extra chores are also part of the Onetime and Move-In, Move-Out services, which some companies undertake in addition to working for regular weekly and biweekly clients..

Weekly, Biweekly and Monthly Cleaning

Once you've completed your first time cleaning, you will perform a variety of routine tasks on each subsequent visit.  Your team leader or other supervisor will explain in advance what tasks are included.  Depending on your position on a team, you'll dust, vacuum, clean the kitchen countertops and appliances, mop kitchen and bathroom floors, clean bathtubs, commodes and shower stalls -- and more.  Eventually you will be cross-trained to perform all functions.

Certain agreed-upon tasks will be performed on a rotational basis.  Things like polishing furniture, dusting ceiling fans, washing window and door frames and other irregular tasks.  The frequency in which these specific tasks will be looked after will be determined by your supervisor,  generally with your input..

Clients will sometimes have  special requests, such as washing inside windows, cleaning a chandelier, washing walls and ceilings and other chores.  The office will look after setting these tasks up and will inform you ahead of the client's next visit.
