Schedule – Cleaning (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
A cleaning schedule everyone can see, with names and tick boxes, beats a detailed procedure nobody opens. This is the master schedule – what, how often, and who.
Instructions: List every area and equipment item with its frequency. The person doing the task signs and dates on completion; the supervisor verifies weekly. Missed tasks get rescheduled, not silently dropped – if a task keeps getting missed, the frequency or resourcing is wrong, not the staff.

Notes and corrective action
Adapt the task list to your site – the rows above are starters, not the whole job. Review the schedule quarterly; the tasks everyone skips are telling you something about the schedule, not the staff.
