When they are in residence, the house runs with a morning and evening shift shared between the Housekeepers and temporary staff (if required).
At all times:

• Cleaning of antiques, fine china, silverware, and other items in the household. This includes laundry, windows, floor treatments, dusting, polishing, vacuuming, care of upholstery, fabric, glass, leather, etc., and careful attention to the cleaning of antiques.
• Service all areas regularly and maintain a cleaning schedule that includes regular deep cleaning of bathrooms/kitchens and details such as preventing limescale build-up, and running taps regularly to keep water pipes fresh.
• Liaise with the Property Manager regarding any maintenance issues relating to the property and oversee contractors doing work in the property.
• Familiarise yourself and become confident with fire systems/alarm systems and AV systems.
• Manage expenses for cleaning supplies and non-perishables to a budget.
When the family is in residence:
• Ensure that all areas of the house are maintained including turn-up and turndown as well as the client's personal staff areas.
• Ensure laundry is done to client's preferences (e.g., separate client/staff laundry and use preferred products).
