Things people ask before applying
Do I need cleaning experience?
Experience is preferred but not always required. Reliability, attention to detail, and willingness to follow checklists matter just as much. The Spruce certification process is there to bring you up to speed.
Is work guaranteed?
No. We don’t guarantee a minimum number of jobs. Work depends on location, demand, availability, suitability, and certification. What we offer is a clear, structured process for becoming eligible for it.
Do I need my own transport?
Transport is often preferred, especially for residential work spread across an area. Some commercial roles may be accessible by public transport. We’ll ask about your situation in the application.
Do I need my own equipment?
It depends on the type of work. Residential cleans often require basic equipment; commercial sites frequently supply their own. The specifics are covered during onboarding.
Can teams apply?
Yes. You can apply as an individual, a small team, or a cleaning partnership. There’s an option to indicate this in the application.
Is this employment or contractor work?
The working arrangement varies by role and is confirmed during onboarding. We’ll be clear about the arrangement before any work is allocated to you.
What areas are available?
Recruitment is demand-led, so availability depends on where there’s current demand for work. Apply with your location and we’ll let you know if there’s a suitable next step in your area.
What is Spruce certification?
A short training or assessment against the Spruce standard. It ensures everyone working in the network delivers a consistent quality of clean, with clear checklists and shared expectations.
