Job description

This is a 2-person job — read this part

We’re hiring two people for these visits, and both are expected to show. You’ll be working alongside another cleaner we hire separately — ideally someone you’re not related to or in a relationship with, so we’ve always got coverage if something comes up.

You’re welcome to bring your own helper if you’d rather work with someone you know — but heads up: I’ll still be hiring a second cleaner separately, so if you bring a helper, the two of you split the pay for one spot. We pay per person, per spot we fill.

The Jobs & Schedule

1) Window Washing

Monday, July 13, 2026 — 7:30 AM start (firm — cannot be moved)

Frequency: About once a month — occasional work, not weekly.

2) Commercial Deep Clean

Late July — exact date being finalized with the store, likely mid-to-late July.

Frequency: About every two months — occasional work, not weekly.

These are separate visits on different dates, so each is its own visit and its own pay. The store sends a manager to let us in at the set time, so the times do not move. Please apply only if you can be there on time.

The Work (general overview)

This is the general scope — a detailed checklist for each service is sent once you’re hired and onboarding is done.

Commercial Cleaning: Sweep, dust mop, and vacuum all floors, including corners and edges. Mop hard floors. Remove gum and stickers. Dust shelving, fixtures, ledges, and vents. Wipe counters and display cases. Empty trash and replace liners. Clean and disinfect the restroom. Damp mop office, stockroom, and break room floors.

Window Washing: Clean entry door glass inside and out. Polish handles, sills, and doorplates. Remove spider webs, gum, debris, and tape. Squeegee and detail all glass edges and corners. Wipe ledges dry.

Requirements

– Prior cleaning experience (commercial or residential)

– Window washing experience with a scrubber and squeegee — required

– Reliable personal transportation

– Strong communication — checking in and responding is the #1 priority

– Comfortable completing a standard onboarding screening

Supplies

Bring your own supplies if you have them — it’s a plus, but not required. North Co can provide. Take a look at the list below and let us know what you’ve got: all of it, some of it, or none. Whatever you’re missing, we’ll cover.

Commercial cleaning:

– Vacuum

– Mop and bucket, or a flat mop with extra pads

– Broom and dust pan

– Dust mop (optional)

– All-purpose cleaner

– Disinfectant

– Glass cleaner

– Microfiber cloths

– Dusting tool

– Restroom cleaner

– Scrubber or deck brush for heavy build-up areas

Window cleaning:

– Professional window scrubber or applicator

– Squeegee

– Glass cleaning solution

– Microfiber or scrim cloths

– Scraper or razor for gum, tape, and debris

– Bucket

Step stool or short ladder — not required, but handy if you like getting closer to the top of the windows or dusting up high. An extension pole works fine too.

Dress Code

Slip-resistant shoes (we’ll help you get a pair if needed). Plain, clean blue or black shirt until your branded shirt at 3 months. Jeans or non-athletic shorts — nothing ripped, no sweatpants. Hair tied back, arrive clean and presentable.

Photos & Check-Out

Detailed before-and-after photos are required, and you must check out with the manager before leaving. This tracks the job and covers everyone if a complaint comes up.

Communication

Staying in touch is the single most important part of this job — checking in, responding to messages, and keeping us updated. Answering and confirming is the #1 priority. If you’re someone who stays on top of communication, you’ll do great here.
