​​What Does a Cleaning Supervisor Do?

A cleaning supervisor is responsible for overseeing the work activities of cleaners within his/her department, be it in a firm, hotel, or residential building.

The form or manner by which the cleaning supervisor carries out his or her job description is usually tailored to suit the organization or firm within which he/she operates.

That is to say, the sort of cleaning services and supervision pattern(s) applied in a hotel might be different from that which is applied somewhere else, like a corporate organization.

The cleaning supervisor is also sometimes referred to as ahousekeeping supervisoror even a janitor supervisor.

He/she basically establishes or puts in place cleaning schedules, and also assigns cleaners/workers under his/her supervision to different duties and/or roles.

It is the responsibility of a cleaning supervisor to make sure that whatever assignment or duty to be carried out, has enough personnel to see it through, and that they (the workers/personnel) have enough supply of the required equipment with which to complete the assigned tasks.

He/she usually discusses general cleaning procedures and/or methods with the staff/workers that are assigned to different areas/tasks; recommends and carries out changes in procedures (cleaning methods) if the need arises.

The maintenance and submission of reports with regards to cleaning personnel, equipment, supplies and general expenses are to be carried out specifically by the cleaning supervisor as at when due (normally on a routine basis).

His/her work description also entails recommending different personnel action, which normally includes hiring, promotions, and transfers from one unit to another, and generally carrying out performance ratings/appraisals on workers.
