How to use this checklist

  1. 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.
  2. Print one sheet per area and post it where the work happens. Daily sheets last a week, weekly sheets a month.
  3. Have the cleaner initial each box as they finish. A supervisor spot-checks and signs the bottom.
  4. File completed sheets by site. When a client asks "was it done?", the answer is in the folder.

Tips from the field

  • Members judge a gym by its locker room: put locker rooms at the top of the daily list.
  • Many disinfectants damage equipment upholstery; note the approved product on the checklist.
  • Record pool readings such as free chlorine and pH as numbers with the acceptable range beside them.
