It covers staff presentation and training, correct chemical use, equipment condition, storeroom order, and safety documentation. Inspect common areas including reception, smoking areas, back-of-house, and outdoor spaces for sweeping, garden upkeep, and waste management. Assess floors, carpets, ceilings, windows, and detailed cleaning quality. Verify public restroom hygiene across basins, urinals, toilets, walls, doors, and bins. Includes authorization sign-offs for accountability. Ideal for facilities managers and cleaning contractors to standardize audits and improve hygiene, safety, and compliance.
