• Deep-clean and sanitize all facility restrooms daily; restock paper towels, toilet paper, and soap dispensers.
• Maintain the employee breakrooms/cafeteria by wiping down appliances (microwaves, refrigerators, coffee pot), cleaning sinks, and sanitizing dining tables.

Inventory & General Upkeep:

• Monitor levels of cleaning supplies and chemical stock; notify management when reordering is necessary.
