Cleaning schedule template. A printable cleaning schedule — who is on which site, when, covering what, and what happens when somebody does not turn up.

A schedule on a cleaning contract has to do two jobs that pull against each other: tell a cleaner what to do tonight, and prove to a client that the hours they are paying for were delivered. A rota that only does the first is why most contract disputes turn into an argument about attendance nobody can settle.

Periodic tasks are placed on dates on purpose. 'Monthly: high dust' sitting in a box at the bottom of a schedule is a task that happens in the last week of the month if at all, and is the single most common audit failure on an otherwise well-run site.

Cover is on the schedule rather than in a procedure because it is the thing that actually happens, constantly. A site with no named cover and no authorisation route gets covered by whoever the supervisor can reach, and the client finds out when somebody unfamiliar sets the alarm off at eleven at night.

Keys and codes are recorded here because the schedule is the document that changes when people do. A leaver who still has a key is a security problem that belongs on the same sheet as the shift they no longer work.
