Learn how to become a successful cleaner
Cleaning skills are in demand. Cleaning services are important for aesthetics as well as health and hygiene in both domestic and commercial situations. The work of cleaning services is mostly routine and completed indoors, though it can periodically involve one-off jobs (e.g., cleaning up after an event) and outdoor work.
Routine cleaning is undertaken by professional cleaners, who are devoted 100% to cleaning, as well as other workers who may need to do some cleaning as part of another job role.
Different types of cleaning require different tools and products. For example:
- Cleaning up after a pest infestation e.g., dead animals in a wall or roof cavity.
- Cleaning a toxic spill, inside or outdoors.
- Cleaning after a natural disaster e.g., after a flood, cyclone, or other event.
- Seasonal cleaning e.g., mould after a period of high humidity.
- Crime scene cleaning.
- Bond cleans following a period of tenancy in a building.
- Cleaning up after an event e.g., sports match, concert, wedding.
