A cleaner is responsible for the general maintenance of facilities. As they frequently cover all areas of the facility, they regularly inspect and report on the condition of the facilities they work in. Aside from general tidiness, they may carry out special projects as required. Usually reporting to the facility manager, cleaners largely work independently and are responsible for the safety and quality of their work.

Skills needed for Cleaning Staff
While no formal education is usually required to be a cleaner, there are skills needed to ensure success. Cleaners work under the direction of the facilities or maintenance manager, and conduct their work independently. As such, they must be health and safety focussed, and able to work alone. It’s also important for cleaners to be able to communicate any issues effectively, and document cleaning and maintenance records.
