Commercial Cleaner (Reinigungskraft)

A practical “day-in-the-role” snapshot

Commercial cleaning is predictable when you build rhythm: you arrive, receive a zone (offices, corridors, restrooms, kitchen corners), follow a checklist, and finish with a quick quality pass. The strongest performers are not the fastest at the start — they are the most consistent after week two.

• Start: short briefing, keys/access rules, and a safety reminder (chemicals + surfaces).
• Main block: vacuum/mop, touchpoint wiping, bins/recycling, restrooms sanitation.
• Control: restock consumables (if assigned), confirm checklist, report issues early.
• Finish: handover and secure storage (privacy rules matter in offices).

This is a role where reliability and clean execution are more valuable than “hero speed”.

Core responsibilities (commercial cleaning)

• ✓Office & facility cleaning: floors, desks/surfaces (as permitted), common areas, entrances, lifts.
• ✓Sanitation tasks: washrooms, replenishment (soap/paper) when assigned, hygienic disposal.
• ✓Waste handling: bins, sorting rules where applicable, clean bin areas.
• ✓Checklist discipline: follow routines, document completion if the site uses controls.
• ✓Safety: correct dilution/labeling, PPE usage, careful handling of equipment.

What we evaluate (stronger profiles win)

• CV in English (PDF preferred): mandatory for review.
• Relevant experience: office/facility cleaning, hotels/HoReCa housekeeping, industrial cleaning, or similar.
• Reliability metrics: punctuality, stable attendance, careful work (this is often the main selection factor).
• Physical readiness: standing/walking, repetitive movement, lifting light supplies; ability to keep pace.
• Comfort with rules: access control, privacy/security instructions at office sites.
• Equipment awareness: vacuum, mop systems, basic machines (scrubber dryer is a plus where used).
• Language: English onboarding supported; basic German (A1–A2) is a strong advantage for safety briefings.

Short candidate portrait

You are a strong match if you work calmly, follow checklists without shortcuts, and treat cleaning as a quality-controlled service — not as “random tasks”.

• Behavior: respectful in client spaces, consistent pace, low drama, stable routine.
• Mindset: notices details (corners, touchpoints), fixes small issues early, reports exceptions.
• Work style: can work independently after onboarding; accepts zone responsibility.
• Professionalism: understands that privacy/security rules are part of the job in offices.

If your work history is short, show seriousness: a clean CV, clear motivation, and readiness for shifts.

Gross pay baseline and what it means

For Germany-based work, pay must comply with the statutory minimum wage. From January 1, 2026 the statutory minimum wage is €13.90 gross per hour.

• Legal floor: €13.90 gross/hour (01.01.2026).
• Illustration (not an offer): at 40h/week this equals about €2,409 gross/month on average across a year.
• Final offer: depends on site, shift pattern, scope, and your verified experience.

We keep expectations realistic: commercial cleaning is a compliance-driven service with stable routines.

Working in Germany via a Polish company (typical model)

Many projects are organized through a Polish employer supporting Germany-based assignments. The practical goal is predictable onboarding, structured documentation, and wage compliance for Germany work.

• Clear onboarding: job briefing, site rules, and task zones (often checklist-driven).
• Documentation handling: structured collection of CV + identity + experience proof to reduce verification delays.
• Posted-worker logic (where applicable): assignment documentation and social insurance coordination (commonly via A1).
• Gross pay transparency: documented gross rates and payslip logic; net depends on individual circumstances.
• Operational support: practical guidance for arrival, start procedures, and communication in English.

Documents that speed up selection

• ✓CV in English (PDF): mandatory, with tasks and dates.
• ✓Passport scan: clear, readable.
• ✓Current location: country/city + earliest start date.
• ✓Experience proof: short project list (where/when/what).
• ✓Certificates (if any): equipment training is a plus.
