    I'm not sure, but they might ask about RIDDOR and another cleaning acronym (something along the lines of COSH?). They're to do with chemicals used for cleaning, their storage, etc.

    As its going to be in a care home, they will do a CBR check on you, there more concerned about your records than you having cleaning experience, as they know anyone can be trained.
    But still good luck with the interview, if you have experience then i'm sure you get it!

    But you have been selected for an interview so they must be interested in you.

    COSH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health!!!

    I work for a cleaning company,and work 10 hours a day, its demanding and can drain you, but its a job i enjoy doing,good money and good company!!! Its better than JSA.

    [FONT=&quot]Thanks very much for this comment. [/FONT]Very useful for me. your points of view make me thinking about some thing for my project.

  • I've interviewed hundreds of cleaners.
    Main issues are Health and safety;
    COSHH, i.e don't mix chemicals
    Colour coding, red yellow, green, blue
    Things to consider when cleaning;
    wet floor signs, trailing wires etc
    Priority cleaning areas;
    public areas, bathrooms, kitchens
    but generally just common sense
