Commercial Cleaning Checklist for Brisbane Businesses

What Your Cleaner Should Be Doing

A clean workplace isn’t just about presentation — it plays a major role in health, safety, productivity, and how clients perceive your business the moment they walk in the door. Yet many Brisbane businesses don’t actually know what their commercial cleaner should be doing each visit.

Whether you manage a school, office, aged care facility or commercial site, having a clear checklist is essential for ensuring consistent, high-quality results.

To make things easier, we’ve put together the ultimate commercial cleaning checklist based on the standards we use every day across Brisbane, Logan and Redland City.

What Your Cleaner Should ALWAYS Do (Non-Negotiables)

No matter how often your business is cleaned, your Brisbane commercial cleaner should:

✔ Arrive consistently and reliably

✔ Use eco-friendly, safe cleaning products

✔ Wear appropriate uniform and PPE

✔ Work through a structured cleaning plan

✔ Follow WHS procedures

✔ Communicate openly about any site issues

✔ Report damage, hazards or concerns immediately

If you’re not getting this, you’re not getting professional cleaning.

Why a Proper Cleaning Checklist Matters

1. Consistency

A structured checklist ensures the same tasks are completed every visit — no skipped bins, no forgotten surfaces, no inconsistency.

2. Hygiene & Safety

Clean, sanitised high-touch areas reduce illness, especially in schools and workplaces.

3. Better Presentation

Your business looks and feels professional for staff, students, customers and clients.

4. Accountability

A checklist removes any guesswork — you know exactly what’s being done.
