Cleaning Operations
Scheduled and unscheduled activity, tasks completed, condition before and after, deficiencies and corrective actions.
PORTER Operations Records™
Cleaning + Waste Operations — performed, verified and documented.
PORTER plans the work, pushes it to the field team, inspects the property, captures evidence and verifies every submission before it becomes part of the building's permanent operating record.

Why it matters
A normal cleaner says the lobby was cleaned.
PORTER can show that the lobby was scheduled, inspected, cleaned, that the deficiency was corrected, that photographic evidence was captured, that the activity was verified and that the record is retained with the property's operating history.
Toronto requires RentSafeTO buildings to keep cleaning and waste-management activity records for 24 months, including the nature of the activity, date and location, together with regular cleanliness inspections and a cleaning plan identifying common areas and frequencies.
Waste Operations
Bin staging and return, satellite transfers, overflow support, contamination checks, resets and collection issues.
Daily Inspection
Common areas inspected for cleanliness every day, with attention items corrected and recorded in one step.
Evidence
Photographs, timestamps, technician identity and verification attached to every activity.
In the field
The plan pushes today's work to the technician.
Management keeps a Cleaning Plan and a Waste Operations Plan for each property. PORTER generates the day's task sheet automatically, so nobody has to remember the schedule.
Every item is recorded with the area, activity, tasks completed, condition before and after, photographs, issues found and corrective action taken. Unscheduled and emergency work is captured the same way.

Field submitted. PORTER reviewed. Verified.
Daily submissions are reviewed before they become permanent records. A submission can be verified or returned for correction. Once submitted, nothing is silently changed — corrections are recorded as amendments showing the time, the person and the reason.

Build the operating system
One building. Two essential operations. One complete record.
Move beyond disconnected cleaning tasks and reactive waste handling. Build a property-specific operating system that performs the work and preserves the proof.
