What this workflow helps you record
The Cleaning or restoration before & after starter workflow turns visual service delivery into a structured record of areas, problems, products, tasks, and results.
This workflow is for cleaning companies, restoration teams, facilities contractors, property services, and maintenance supervisors.
Choose the right workflow shape
Use a before-and-after workflow when the value of the service is a visible change. Repeat the same areas to make the result easier to assess.
Set up the audit
- Select the Cleaning or restoration before & after workflow.
- Confirm the site, unit, customer, and service type.
- Preview required areas, problem photos, products, and task fields.
- Capture the starting condition, perform the service, then record completion.
Use the key fields
Areas serviced
List each included area so the capture sequence matches the agreed service scope.
Problem areas
Use wide context and close detail views for stains, damage, or areas needing special attention.
Tasks completed
Select only tasks actually completed and add notes when an expected task could not be finished.
Review the result
Confirm all serviced areas are covered, compare problem views at both stages, and check products and completed tasks before delivery.

Direct answers
Frequently asked questions
Should every room have before and after photos?
Set the workflow to require the coverage your service promises, then preview those requirements before the visit.
Can cleaners record products used?
Yes. The starter workflow includes products used and can be tailored for your own approved product list.
Does a completed audit prove disinfection?
No. It records submitted work and observations, not laboratory results or a verified hygiene outcome.
