Start at the front door

Following the rules of cleaning, we'll start by moving our caddy to left of the front door. You'll be cleaning clockwise throughout the whole house. Keep the same continuous wall at your left side as you go around the home dusting.

Staircase

If you come across a staircase, go up/down it cleaning the rails and the base of the poles if needed.

Islands

If you come across an island (meaning something like a table not next to a wall, or a set of walls that are disconnected from the outer walls of the home) dust that first and then move back to your spot going clockwise around the home.

Sliding glass door

Only clean the glass panes that have a handle. Clean the outside of the glass too outside the home. This is the only thing we clean outside the home.

Kitchen table

Spray evenly with all purpose, and wipe dry with a clean white/blue cloth.

Tables, dressers and other flat furniture

First time: Wipe flat surface with a slightly wet white cloth. Then dust any ledges, shelves, or other complex parts that need it. Pick up and get under knickknacks when needed and there's a reasonable number of knickknacks on a given surface.

Recurring: Feather dust thoroughly top to bottom. No need to move knickknacks unless needed or otherwise noted.

Be sure to clean shelves that are exposed (not in a cabinet).

Laundry appliances

Both: Dust top.

If needed, spray with all-purpose evenly on top and sides and wipe clean and shiny.

Other

Random things to dust and what to know:

Bed frames: dust

Glass tables: use glass cleaner, and blue cloth. Clean underside if needed.

Any unfinished wood: Don't use wet cloth and don't spray surface.

Fake plants: If noted or it's definitely needed, quickly pat down with feather duster, trying not to get dust in air.

Non-upholstered chairs: if crumbs or dust on where you sit, quickly swipe off onto floor for later vacuuming.

Lampshades: Use feather duster and do the best you can. Dust the top part.

Walk-in closets: Get any exposed baseboards and floors when vacuuming. Don't worry about small closets unless empty like a moving cleaning or in notes.

TV's: Never dust the top or face of a tv screen. Dust the base when you're dusting the surface it's sitting on, however.

Flat surfaces above 6ft: Don't worry about cleaning unless otherwise noted.

If you're not sure it should be cleaned, (the rest of the list for what to clean is at the everywhere page) but it can be cleaned without damage to the item, just clean it and ask your supervisor later if it should be cleaned and how. Do your best to impress!

Trashes

Grab trash bags rolls (less than 10 gal for small and 13 gal for big trashes that need it) from your caddy and put into your apron. Do a another clockwise lap around the home, taking out trashes that have any trash in it. If it's empty, don't bother. Replace with a new trash bag.
