Professional cleaners need to meet certain qualifications, including physical ability, passing a criminal background check, and providing references. They must also be responsible and able to work independently, meeting strict schedules and providing high-quality work.
Professional cleaners can work independently in homes as housekeepers or maids, in commercial offices as regular cleaners, or in the hospitality industry as a maid. Typically, this is an entry-level position in this field of work, but there are some housekeeping qualifications that individuals often need to meet before being hired. Physical skills are important cleaning skills; maids have to push a large cart or lift heavy items during their shift, as well as bending and reaching frequently. Also, people who want to work as cleaners are often required to pass a criminal background check and provide references.
Being in good physical shape is one of the most important cleaning qualifications. In addition to pushing a heavy cart or lifting and moving heavy furniture, a housekeeper needs to be able to bend over to scrub bathroom surfaces or clean floors, which can be physically taxing. Most maids are also expected to work quickly, which can make physical labor even more difficult. An individual with injuries or other physical problems may not meet the necessary cleaning qualifications to be hired to professionally clean spaces or homes.
The ability to trust the person cleaning a hotel room, office or home is also very important. Many companies list a criminal background check as part of their cleaning qualifications that the applicant must pass. Even janitors who want to work independently on a home are likely to find that the owner or employer wants to run a background check before hiring them. This is because cleaners have access to everything in the room or office, including potentially sensitive information or valuable items. In addition to background checks, most cleaners will be asked to provide references from people they have worked for before and can verify their skills and reliability.
It is also important that anyone in this type of work is responsible and able to work with minimal supervision. Most of the time, professional housekeepers and cleaners work alone and must be able to stick to a strict schedule and finish the job before people go home or back to the room. It is important that this person does a high quality job all the time, without having to be reminded of how to do things or what exactly needs to be done. This is especially important in hotels, where guests who feel the room is not satisfactorily cleaned may not return.
