General Cleaner Academy Sport Panama M,W,F,S

Primary Purpose

To perform a variety of cleaning activities in assigned buildings/facilities, keeping them clean, sanitary and orderly, and to perform other tasks related to the area of assignment.

High Dusting

Using a treated high duster, begin cleaning in a counter‑clockwise direction around the room – high dust surfaces above shoulder height, such as lights above doors, curtain tips, vents and ledges. The high duster is gently brushed in a downward direction into the service cart.

Sanitizing / Spot Cleaning

Using a germicidal solution, work in a counter‑clockwise direction around the room, sanitizing surfaces below shoulder height, i.e., ledges, chairs, telephone, countertops and trash cans. Remove fingerprints and smudges from doorknobs and walls, and spot‑clean windows with the proper solution.

Bathroom Cleaning

Using a germicidal solution, wipe down in the following order: above and below the sink; toilet seat and the outside of the toilet bowl; the inside of the toilet with a Johnnie Mop and germicidal solution (attentive to the rim). Clean and check soap and paper dispensers daily, refilling as needed. Empty trash cans.

Floor Dusting or Vacuuming

Using a treated dust mop head, start at the back of the room with an “S” stroke to catch dust on the leading edge. Dust under all furniture and in the restroom, stopping just inside the door. Use the counter brush to gently clean the mop head with a downward stroke, sweep up the dust into a dustpan and dispose of it in the service cart.

When vacuuming, start at the back of the room, work toward the door, and be sure to get under chairs and other furniture.

Using the proper germicidal solution, start at the back of the room when sanitizing the floor. Mop under furniture and behind doors as you back out of the room.

After completing the room, mentally review your cleaning steps and visually check furniture placement. Make corrections as needed to prevent problems or complaints. High dusting and wall spotting in the hall, lobby, stairs, water fountains, furniture, and walls is done daily.

Knock lightly on the door before entering, if occupied. Be friendly and cheerful to customers. Answer questions in a helpful, courteous manner or refer them to someone who can.
