How to use this checklist

Edit the tasks to match the site's scope of work. Delete what you don't do; nobody should sign off work that was never scheduled.
Print one sheet per machine and post it where the work happens. Daily sheets last a week, weekly sheets a month.
Have the cleaner initial each box as they finish. A supervisor spot-checks and signs the bottom.
File completed sheets by site. When a client asks "was it done?", the answer is in the folder.

Tips from the field

A scrubber left with a full recovery tank over the weekend is the main source of odours; empty it every shift.
Lead-acid batteries need full charges, never partial top-ups, and checking water only after charging.
Streaking is nearly always a squeegee blade: flip it before you blame the chemical.
