Who this template is for

Janitorial Inspection Checklist is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in cleaning & facilities.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 27 questions across 4 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 19 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It allows multiple selections without free text.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “Any area rated Fail?” is Yes, “Corrective actions required” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Consumables running low?” is Yes, “Which consumables need restocking?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Was the operative present during the inspection?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Operative comments”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Contract cleaning is judged on audits, and this inspection checklist gives supervisors a consistent scoring sheet they can complete on a phone while walking the site. It records the site, the inspector, the date and time, the cleaning operative or team responsible, and the shift being inspected. Each area is then scored on the same scale — washrooms, kitchens and break areas, offices and desks, floors and entrances, stairwells, meeting rooms, waste and recycling, and external areas — with a pass, minor issue or fail rating and space for a note. Consumables checks cover soap, paper, bin liners and sanitiser stock, because a spotless washroom with no towels still fails. Any fail rating opens a required corrective action box with a deadline and an owner, so the audit produces work rather than a score. Photographs can be attached to individual failures as evidence. The inspector signs off and the completed audit becomes a dated record you can show a client at contract review.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
