How and when should I take a break?

Breaks should be taken between houses, not during the cleaning. Some cleaners may not take breaks or may be used to working straight through which is fine, but please remember that your health is very important, even if you just need to take a brain break. If you do take a break between houses:

• Find a nice parking lot
• Park under a tree
• Bring easy foods to take for a break:
  
  • Granola bars
  • Non-microwaveable foods
    

PLEASE REMEMBER:

• When possible, please do not use the client’s bathroom unless you kindly ask permission beforehand.
  

SMOKING:

• In the interest of promoting a healthy work environment for our clients and employees smoking is not permitted on the job site (or any portion of the client property) while wearing your uniform, or in company office spaces except in designated areas. Smoke breaks must be taken during regular break times.
