Cleaner Damage (SOP)
Overview
All damage caused by guests should be reported immediately by the cleaner in the Whizz Hub app. When a cleaner reports damage in the app it triggers an email to the Property Management Group (PMG) and Whizz. Damage caused by cleaners should also be reported immediately so that it can be managed by Whizz. Damage is a serious issue that must be resolved ASAP.
GOAL: Communicate damage ASAP to PMGs
Process
If a cleaner has caused damage to the property they are liable for the cost of repairs.
Normally damage should be reported by the cleaner in the Whizz Hub app and the cleaner must specify it was their fault.
A cleaner must also send an email to Whizz to report damage if:
-
the cleaner is unable to use the app or
-
damage is so severe that the cleaning can not be started
-
additional photos are needed of the damage
*Important If the damage to the property will prevent the next guest from being able to check into the property, this should be immediately escalated to the Operations Team Lead.
