Our Cleaners
Cleanworks prides itself on the calibre of our cleaners. Not only do all of our cleaners undergo the standard criminal history and background checks you would expect, but we are very particular about only engaging individuals with strong English-language proficiency and cleaning experience which is both independently verifiable via referees. Even after applying our strict recruitment standards, we still have all candidates undertake our own in-house training to ensure they are employing best practices and conforming to Cleanworks standards in all of the work they undertake.
Unlike many cleaning companies, our regular site and individual performance reviews aren’t just to identify and correct behaviours lapses – we use to keep tabs on our top performing cleaners so that we can reward them through our industry leading cleaner incentive scheme which includes rewards spanning $50 vouchers to paid international vacations!
