Staircase cleaning acceptance — a 7-step procedure for the property manager
- Put the baseline standard in writing: the zone-and-frequency checklist as an annex to the cleaning company contract or the homeowners' association resolution.
- Introduce a sign-off card in the stairwell (ground floor, by the notice board): date, time, scope, signature of the cleaner — residents see when the service took place, the manager has proof.
- Once a week, walk one stairwell through the checklist item by item, on a random day — not the service day.
- Check the "off-route" spots: top-floor landings, the space behind the vestibule doors, lift door tracks, basement corners — that is where a "shortcut" service ends.
- Cross-check the sign-off card against the contract schedule: no entry = no service; entries filled in "in bulk" by one hand = a warning sign.
- Collect residents' reports in a single channel (notice board, e-mail, QR code) and pass them to the contractor with a deadline; check after the deadline.
- Once a quarter, accept the periodic work: wall panelling in full, windows, light fixtures, basements — with a report and before/after photos.
