Create CVA cleaner resume should clearly show your ability to maintain hygiene, work efficiently, and follow safety standards—without unnecessary clutter. Employers want to quickly see your reliability, cleaning skills, and measurable results like rooms cleaned per shift or time efficiency. The best cleaner resumes are simple, results-focused, and tailored to the job description. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you build a resume that gets noticed and hired.
Before writing, align your resume with what hiring managers actually scan for in 6–10 seconds:
Reliability and consistency
Attention to detail
Speed and efficiency
Knowledge of cleaning tools and chemicals
Safety and sanitation compliance
If your resume doesn’t clearly show these, it won’t convert into interviews.
A professional summary is a 2–4 sentence introduction at the top of your resume that highlights your experience, key skills, and value as a cleaner.
Focus on:
Years of experience
Type of cleaning work (residential, commercial, hospital, hotel)
Key strengths (efficiency, sanitation standards, reliability)
A measurable achievement if possible
Weak Example:
Hardworking cleaner looking for a job. Good at cleaning.
Good Example:
Detail-oriented cleaner with 5+ years of experience in commercial and residential cleaning. Skilled in sanitation protocols, time-efficient cleaning, and maintaining high hygiene standards. Consistently cleaned 20+ rooms per shift while meeting strict quality benchmarks.
Most applicants list generic skills. Top candidates show specific, job-relevant skills.
Surface cleaning and disinfection
Floor care (mopping, waxing, vacuuming)
Waste disposal and recycling
Equipment handling (buffers, vacuums, steam cleaners)
Chemical safety and usage
Infection control (especially for healthcare roles)
Time management and efficiency
Mirror keywords from the job description. If the job says “sanitation compliance,” use that exact phrase.
Certifications are often overlooked—but they can instantly set you apart.
OSHA safety training
Bloodborne pathogens training
Green cleaning certification
Infection control certification
Hazard communication (HAZCOM)
Even short training courses show professionalism and commitment.
They list responsibilities like:
“Responsible for cleaning rooms.”
That’s not enough.
Show impact, scale, and efficiency.
For each role include:
Job title
Employer
Dates
3–5 bullet points with results
Weak Example:
Cleaned hotel rooms
Changed linens
Good Example:
Cleaned and sanitized 18–25 hotel rooms per shift while maintaining brand standards
Reduced cleaning time by 15% through improved workflow organization
Maintained 98% inspection pass rate from supervisors
Numbers make your resume credible and memorable.
Rooms cleaned per shift
Square footage covered
Time per cleaning task
Customer satisfaction scores
Inspection pass rates
Reduction in complaints
Instead of:
Cleaned office spaces
Write:
Cleaned 10,000+ sq. ft. of office space daily, ensuring compliance with sanitation standards
Many employers use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). If your resume lacks keywords, it may never be seen.
Include terms like:
Cleaner
Janitor
Housekeeping
Sanitation
Disinfection
Facility maintenance
Commercial cleaning
Professional summary
Skills section
Job descriptions
Use them naturally—don’t overload.
A clean resume layout reflects your ability to do the job.
Professional Summary
Skills
Work Experience
Certifications
Education (if relevant)
Keep it to 1 page (2 pages max for senior roles)
Use simple fonts
Avoid graphics or colors
Use consistent spacing
Think: clean, simple, easy to scan.
A hospital cleaner resume should not look like a hotel cleaner resume.
Hotel cleaning roles:
Focus on speed, guest satisfaction, room turnover
Hospital cleaning roles:
Focus on sanitation, infection control, compliance
Office cleaning roles:
Focus on consistency, large area coverage, after-hours work
Always adjust your resume based on the job description.
Avoid these at all costs:
Writing generic duties with no results
Leaving out numbers or measurable impact
Using vague phrases like “hardworking”
Ignoring keywords from the job posting
Overloading with irrelevant experience
Your resume should prove value—not just list tasks.
From a hiring perspective, cleaner resumes are judged quickly. Recruiters are not reading every line.
What they look for instantly:
Can this person handle the workload?
Are they efficient?
Have they done similar work before?
If your resume doesn’t answer these in seconds, it gets skipped.
Detail-oriented cleaner with X years of experience in [type of cleaning]. Skilled in sanitation, time management, and maintaining high hygiene standards. Proven ability to clean X rooms/sq. ft. daily with consistent quality.
