Before you make a cleaning checklist
Can AI choose chemicals for me?
Use site-approved products and label instructions; never follow generated advice to mix cleaning chemicals.
How detailed should each item be?
Name the surface and action, such as wipe lobby door handles, so completion is clear.
Should the checklist include hazards?
Add the site procedure for wet floors, sharps or spills and the person to contact when work must stop.
