My name is Christine and I work for Spotless at Westfield Tea Tree Plaza as a toilet cleaner. Working here is very hard and sometimes the conditions are awful. People drink alcohol and sleep in the toilets; people have fights outside and come to toilets to wash. We have to clean blood, as well as faeces and vomit because people miss the toilet bowl. People even foul their clothes and leave them in toilets.
There is often faeces from the door right through the toilets. It gets so bad we have to call the supervisor to take photos. We often get bad language written on the walls.
We don't have many hours to clean especially considering the bad messes like those. You have to clean the other toilets very quickly because otherwise people complain to Westfield. We just have to work extra hours to get it done.
We get four hours weekdays and three on Sunday to clean. But we need at least four and a half hours. The last company would give us extra time to do extra work.
The money is not very good especially now I get five hours less per week.
More time to do my job would be good as well as better money. I have a baby so it is ok for me no. But when he gets bigger I will have to look for another job.
