They meticulously disinfect surfaces, including countertops, tables, handrails, and door handles, and ensure that floors are properly maintained through regular vacuuming and mopping.

Key tasks include sanitising bathrooms and kitchens, changing bed linens, and managing laundry duties, all while adhering to high cleanliness standards. By creating a clean, safe environment, care home cleaners significantly enhance residents' well-being through their attention to detail and commitment to hygiene practices.
