I trust that you have a better understanding of the spring cleaning concept since the previous writing. If you are only now joining us in this step-by-step process, please see our Blog page for the previous steps. Now we can proceed to develop Entry & Exit procedures. To follow our discussion, please download our Entry & Exit Procedures form that will also assist you to create your custom-made procedures.

Procedure

It is important that your domestic cleaner must know exactly what to do when she arrives at your house or premises. If you micro-manage it in the beginning, it will set a solid foundation for the future relationship.

Here are some things to think of for the Entry Procedure:

  • Time of arrival and time to start work is not the same.
  • Where will she change and place her private belongings?
  • Must she open or close windows and curtains.
  • Collect dishes from all rooms.
  • Follow the proper sign-in procedure on the timesheet. Remember you can download Skitterblink’s Timesheet.

Then you must also establish the Exit Procedure:

  • Is the kitchen clean?
  • Are all the windows closed?
  • Are the lights switched off?
  • Ensure chemicals are stored
  • All cloths & equipment are put away.
  • Sign-off on Timesheet.
  • Lock and alarm procedures

Tip from the Experts

It is of utmost importance that your domestic assistant understands that you pay her per hour. She must understand that she is getting paid since she signed in until she signs out. Don’t pay a daily rate. This is when things start going wrong when you are not at home or even if you are at home.
