Cleaning Jobs Overview
From domestic homes, corporate offices, and retail buildings to restaurants and public transport, cleaning jobs are available across a variety of venues and businesses.

You could be responsible for helping hospitals sustain safe and hygienic environments, or maybe you’ll support families to maintain their homes.
There are no particular requirements to become a cleaner, however you may benefit from some extra training if you want to work in certain industries with specific cleaning protocols, such as airlines or food facilities. If you enjoy keeping things spick and span and are looking for a job that keeps you active and, on your feet instead of behind a desk, then cleaning could be right for you.

- punctuality
- attention to detail
