   • Removing cobwebs and dust from ceilings, walls, and fixtures
   • Dusting surfaces, including desks, tables, chairs, and shelves
   • Vacuuming or sweeping floors to remove loose dirt and debris
3. Cleaning Surfaces:
   • Cleaning and sanitizing countertops, sinks, and bathroom fixtures
   • Wiping down surfaces, including desks, tables, and chairs
   • Cleaning mirrors and windows
4. Vacuuming and Mopping:
   • Vacuuming or sweeping carpets and rugs
   • Mopping or sweeping hard floors
   • Clearing debris and garbage from floor surfaces
5. Restrooms:
   • Cleaning and sanitizing toilets, urinals, and sinks
   • Wiping down and cleaning bathroom surfaces, such as counters, mirrors, and stalls
