Sample answer
“In my previous role, I developed a systematic approach to cleaning. I always start by decluttering each room before moving on to dusting and wiping surfaces. For bathrooms, I use specific products to ensure surfaces are sanitized. I prioritize high-traffic areas first and always do a final check to make sure nothing is missed. This method not only leads to thorough cleaning but also leaves the clients impressed with the organization.”
