How to Audit Your Current Cleaners Without Saying a Word

Ever feel like your cleaner's just coasting? Not terrible, but not great either?

Here’s how to find out — without an awkward conversation, passive-aggressive notes, or stalking them with the security cam.

One of our café clients in Newtown thought their cleaner was doing a good enough job… until the owner checked behind the counter fridge and found months of buildup. They switched to Ultrix that week.

🔍 The Silent Audit: 5 Signs Your Cleaner Isn’t Doing the Job

1. Corners and edges are dusty
   Cleaners who rush skip the perimeter. Check the base of skirtings or behind bins.

2. Smells are masked, not removed
   A lemony chemical smell doesn't mean clean — it often means cover-up.

3. Toilet paper refills are inconsistent
   If your staff keep saying “the bathroom’s out again,” it’s a sign of lazy servicing.

4. No high-touch focus
   Check door handles, taps, light switches. Still grimy? They’re not disinfecting properly.

5. No feedback, no communication
   If your cleaner hasn’t checked in for 6 months, are they even improving?

✅ Ultrix Tip

Print this list. Check your space silently next time you close. Then ask: “Would I be happy if I were paying premium rates for this?”

If the answer’s no — we’re ready.
