I start a new job tomorrow as a cleaner how should i go about making a good first impression?

Don't ask too many questions about health and safety at work, be sensible and work fast. I have been a cleaning supervisor (and a cleaner) and what always made a good impression was people who came to the job looking casual but clean, the people who smiled and were chatty but not overbearingly "matey".





What did I look for ? Clean toilets.... horrible job, but all supervisors check the toilet's been done properly, not just a squirt of blue, but a scrub inside, a wipe round the rim and a mop over the floor.





Corners of the room need to be cleaned, if I look into a corner it's a small restricted space I will notice small objects... if I look across a whole room, I will not notice small objects.





Ask to be shown exactly what you must do, and note it, dont 'list it out' just note it and make sure your boss knows it's and adie memoir for you, not a work list you will only ever stick to.





If in doubt about anything..... ASK (nicely and smile)





If you need to use a floor buffer..... and you have never done it before TELL THEM !!!!! they will know if youre lieing, as you will turn it on and smash it through a wall in two seconds flat unless you know how to use one (instant job looser).





never flirt with the boss, your co-workers will see it and be nasty to you (no matter what sex you are).





never tell your boss if other people are skiving, chances are your boss already knows and will note that you are likely to tell thier boss if they skive too.





NO MATTER WHAT.... never pocket anything.... I used to leave stuff about to see if my staff were honest... and a nasty few were not. I fired them, and kept on the ones who either resisted temptation, or reported objects found to me. (I used old mobile phones under lockers, 拢1 coins on the toilet floor etc.... ). If you find anything like that, pick it up, put it to one side and tell your boss where you put it.





Check first if you want to wear headphones (ipod walkman) while you work, some are OK with it, some not. ( I always let them unless they were working in the kitchens, where I allowed radio)

Reply:it is said that action speaks louder than voice. by tomorrow you become a cleaner and cleaning entails making sure where you are to clean is well cleaned. the best impression is to get to work on time and do your cleaning job as though you are competing and would want to be the best.
Reply:Turn up!
Reply:Turn up a little early, be polite and friendly to everyone you meet, dress smartly (if you dont have a uniform) and show you are eager to learn by asking questions.





And as someone has already said, just do your best and you won't go far wrong, that fact you're even bothering to ask how to make a good impression shows you have got the right attitude and I'm sure you will get on well.





Good luck!
Reply:turn up on time, if not a bit early, shows you are keen

Reply:Clean, clean, clean especially places that haven't been cleaned very well in the past . Make sure any sinks and bathrooms get a good going over. Use plenty of spray polish and ciff because it cleans and smells nice.
Reply:Be ; showered, clean shaven, clean clothes, and be 10 min. early. Listen to what your told and learn why god gave us 2 ears and only 1 mouth.
Reply:Be polite...wear clean clothes..shower...... clean thoroughly..good luck.
Reply:1. Dress neatly. You give an impression of the company you work for as well as the place of business that you are located.





2. Be on time. Try to adhere to "Lombardi Time". Two-time Super Bowl winning coach Vince Lombardi worked under the theory that 15 minutes early is on-time.





3. Remember that if you are working in a place of business they may not have time to tell you what they do.





4. Do the work well, do the work within the time allowed. By doing the job well you will also enjoy the time more.





Good Luck!
Reply:Dress presentably (even if you wear a uniform you can still ensure that your hair and shoes are tidy). Positive visual impressions will instill confidence that you take pride in yourself and your work. Also, smile lots and look enthusiastic. Most importantly, work very hard and leave the environment tidy as well as sparklingly clean!
Reply:make sure you put up the sign ' wet floor cleaning in progress'


otherwise you may have a claim on your hands
Reply:make sure everything is clean...?
Reply:Ask If anyone would like you to make a cup of tea before you start and ask if you should leave spare bags in the bottom of all the waste paper baskets.
Reply:just do the job the as best you can , have the place spick an span , when you walk out the door there is nothing else you c-a-n do . happy cleaning .
Reply:dress cleanly.
Reply:Know what you are doing, far too many people think it is easy to clean properly, oh and don't use bleach - it doesn't clean. It does however strip the porcelain off the bottom of the loo, leaving it rough and ready to turn brown.


Also, don't use pledge as that cements the dust to the surface you think you are cleaning, a little Fairy Liquid and water in a spray bottle is your is your best friend, on laminate and glass.
Reply:Just do your best.Good luck.
