Hi cinders,
This is my home made list that I use. When i worked for an agency they had the type of checklist that your talking about. I use mine as a guide and speak to the client to see if theres anything not on there that she might want, or anything on there that she doesn't want. I then tailor it to the indivdual, make 2 copies, one for myself and one for them to keep.
Kitchens & Utility Rooms:
Clean all work surfaces, sinks, tiling and the external surfaces of kitchen appliances.
Sweep and mop kitchen floor.
Living Areas:
Dust/polish furniture, window sills, straighten and plump sofa cushions, and vacuum carpets.
Bedrooms:
Dust/polish furniture, window sills, and vacuum carpets.
Bathrooms, Shower rooms & Toilets:
Clean baths, tiling, shower trays and screens, sinks and toilets. Vacuum carpets or if not carpeted, sweep and mop floor.
Stairs:
To be vacuumed and railings dusted.
Fortnightly:
Dust skirting’s, (dados, picture rails if applicable).
Monthly:
Windows cleaned internally.
Also I have another sheet to show them which is this one, and they can pick and choose services from that as add ons, or incorporated into their own plan. Which is below:
Extras If Required:
Ironing
Washing
Bed Making/Changing
Pet Feeding
Dog Walking
Holiday Services:
If you are away for a week or two we can come in daily to feed small pets (cats, rabbits, hamsters etc) clean out cages. This saves the additional worry of boarding, and allows pets to stay in their own home environment where they won’t be stressed by change.
Also we can pick up any post from the inside doormat and place somewhere safe within your house, so that it isn’t obvious to the outside world that you are away.
Additional Extras:
One off cleans
Spring Cleans
Moving in (or) out cleans
I also take a notebook to take their requests, and it works for me.
Good Luck.
