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 area 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

Entrance matting captures most of the soil that would otherwise wear the lobby floor; keep it on the daily list.
Elevators and stairwells are where tenant complaints come from; give them their own sign-off line.
A public "last cleaned" notice in the lobby washroom turns the checklist into a tenant-facing promise.
