We are looking for someone who takes cleaning seriously and understands that reliability, punctuality, professionalism, and the ability to follow instructions are just as important as cleaning ability. This is a contract/on-call position. Work is based on client bookings and company needs, so a fixed number of weekly hours is not guaranteed. Responsibilities • Clean residential homes, apartments, and short-term rental properties., • Clean bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, living areas, floors, appliances, and other assigned areas., • Make beds and prepare short-term rental properties for incoming guests when required., • Follow Bestom Kleen cleaning procedures and property-specific instructions., • Complete assigned areas thoroughly and within the scheduled cleaning period., • Work independently and as part of a team when required., • Follow the direction of the assigned supervisor., • Report problems, damages, missing supplies, or incomplete work immediately., • Maintain professional behavior while inside or around client properties.

Scheduling & Reliability Applicants must provide honest and realistic availability. Once you accept an assignment, you are expected to honor that commitment and arrive on time. Repeated lateness, last-minute cancellations, failure to appear for accepted assignments, or failure to communicate appropriately are not compatible with Bestom Kleen's standards. Because our cleaners work inside clients' homes and short-term rental properties, professionalism and dependability are essential. Selection Process Bestom Kleen uses a multi-stage selection process. Qualified applicants will first be invited to an approximately 30-minute virtual interview. The strongest candidates may then be invited to complete a paid working evaluation on an actual cleaning assignment. The evaluation allows us to observe cleaning quality, productivity, ability to follow instructions, communication, professionalism, work ethic, and response to feedback. Participation in an interview or paid working evaluation does not guarantee ongoing assignments. Candidates selected following the working evaluation will enter Bestom Kleen's four-week probationary period. Important Please apply only if you are genuinely interested in cleaning work and can reliably honor the assignments you accept. At Bestom Kleen, we value people who show up, work hard, listen, learn, communicate, and take pride in doing the job properly. If that describes you, we would be happy to consider your application.
