TASKAJI san Manual
1 Getting Started
１-１About the kinds of work handled by Taskaji houseworkers
・Taskaji houseworkers can choose the kinds of work that they
want to do themselves.
・There are six kinds of work available: cleaning, laundry,
shopping, cooking, pet care, and child care with a guardian.
・You can select the kinds of work you will do on your profile
(choosing a number of them will make it easier to find work).
① Cleaning
Use the cleaning supplies provided in the client's home for
routine cleaning, bed making, and organizing (only in those
places designated by the client), and so forth.
② Laundry
Use the washers and dryers provided in the client's home for
routine washing, drying, folding, ironing, and so forth.

Shop for daily needs at a supermarket within walking distance
of the client's house. (Primarily shopping for ingredients for
cooking.)
④ Cooking
Using the cooking supplies available in the client's house,
perform routine cooking for the household. The ingredients may
be already provided by the client, or else you may have to get
them at the client's request before you begin. Be sure to note the
range of items you can already cook in your profile. Work will go
smoothly if you listen to a customer's requests and make use of
recipes they provide.
⑤ Pet Care
Give pets their water and food. Taking pets for walks will not be
a part of your duties.
⑥ Child Care with Guardian
With a guardian present, help care for children. Most of the
time, you will be playing with children or reading to them.
Assisting with meals will not be a part of your duties.
1-2 About general insurance
If, in the course of a Taskaji houseworker's duties, something
should break or someone should get hurt, please notify Taskaji's
support center as quickly as possible. As you will be covered by
Taskaji's insurance plan, it will be possible to have any damages
paid back to the client.

service, what you were doing at the time, and pictures showing
what occurred.)
Compensation limits: ¥10,000,000 for an item, ¥100,000,000 for a
person
Warning: Damages incurred while performing tasks outside of
those specified by Taskaji will not be covered by insurance. If such
damages should occur, you will be required to provide
compensation yourself. Be careful to avoid doing tasks outside of
those specified by Taskaji.
1-3★Important★ Read carefully
・Be sure to be on time for your appointments. If you are late a
number of times, you will leave a bad impression on your clients,
and this will affect how you are reviewed.
・In the unlikely event that a situation should arise that prevents
you from making your appointment, be sure to cancel. If you do
not cancel before the time of your appointment, your ID will be
removed from Taskaji's office, and you will not be allowed to

should confirm the work the client has requested.
Based on the length of time allotted, estimate and explain to your

Be aware as you listen to a client whether or not a given request
falls under the category described in “3．About the kinds of work
done by Taskaji houseworkers”, subsection ”3-2．Work you are
not allowed to do”, below. Any damages incurred while doing work
that falls under this category are outside of our insurance, and

there is a possibility that you yourself as a Taskaji houseworker
will have to provide compensation.

have to confirm the floor plan.

enter or closets/cupboards/etc. that you are not allowed to open.

You should confirm the locations of any cleaning supplies you will
need for that day's work. The minimum requirements are listed in

The way shirts are folded after being washed
It is crucial that you take care not to disrupt the client's lifestyle.
Be sure to ask any questions beforehand, so as not to have to ask
anything while working.
⑤ Confirm the client's preference regarding work directions
If, in the course of your duties, you should be unclear on
something, you should confirm in advance whether the client
would like you to ask for detailed directions, or whether they
would prefer to leave such matters to the judgment of the
houseworker.
2-3 When working
① Time spent working
Work for the agreed-upon time. If something is left unfinished,
do not work overtime, but rather report the details of what you
were not able to accomplish to the client.
② Things to be aware of while working
If, while working, a client presents you with tea or sweets, politely
refuse, saying "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Unfortunately
I am contractually unable to accept your kindness..." or "I brought
my own, so there's no need to worry about me..."

again that everything was cleaned, and that you didn't
accidentally leave the power on.

4. Trouble prevention
① Requests to work overtime
The most frequently encountered problem is when a customer
requests that the houseworker work overtime to finish work that
was left undone.
You should estimate and inform the customer in advance how
much work you think you will be able to physically accomplish in
the allotted time. For anything that was left undone at the end of
the allotted time, explain why you were unable to finish. You may
not stay overtime to finish the work. You should be aware of the
amount of time that a given task usually takes you. Read through
this manual closely and be sure you understand its contents.
② Damage done to appliances or eating utensils by Taskaji
houseworkers
Be sure to ask any questions about special handling instructions
before working so that you don't end up damaging anything.
If damage occurs in spite of your best efforts, you should contact
Taskaji's support center.

The most frequently encountered problem is when a customer
requests that the houseworker work overtime to finish work that
was left undone.
③ Ask for clarification regarding the client's requests
If the client simply asks you to "please clean the rooms", there is a
possibility that miscommunications will arise between the client
and the Taskaji houseworker. Be sure to ask "where do you want
cleaned, and in what way?", clarifying the details of the request
before you begin work.
If the client feels that they paid a good deal of money for service
but it wasn't done as they wanted, this can cause trouble.
④ The client requests that you take care of their valuables
So that the client doesn't end up finding that something
important is missing, ask the client to take care of their valuables
before you work. In the event that you come across valuables
while working, you must report this to the client and request that
they take care of them.
⑤ Take care of your own valuables
17 ページ

タスカジさんお仕事マニュアル
0.2 版
To ensure that you don't lose anything, do not keep any
accessories that will get in the way of your work on your person
while performing your duties.
So that you don't have to tell a client "I left something behind", be
sure to take proper care of your valuables. If you use a client's
money for any purpose, be sure to keep the receipt as proof, and
present it to the client.
⑥ How to tell Taskaji if the client files a claim
It is best to tell the client "I will tell Taskaji right away. We will
be sure to respond."
In the event of a claim, you should give the following information
to Taskaji:
①Who is filing the claim
②What they found unsatisfactory
③What kind of work they requested
④What they want done about the situation

electrical appliances off after you are finished.

Dust tends to collect on the wall around the air conditioner, so
be sure to dust it well.
(If no duster is provided, wipe with a dry cloth.)
・When possible, wipe appliances and doors with a wet cloth.
Be especially careful when you are wiping areas that collect
fingerprints easily. If you only use water to wipe these areas, most
of the marks may not be removed. It is best to have a set order for
cleaning any light fixtures or switches that may be cleaned using
a wet cloth, and follow that while cleaning.
Vacuum the floor.
After you use the vacuum, you should wipe the floor with a wet
cloth, or use a mop.
It can be quite difficult to clean large living room floors by hand,
so be sure to make use of the cleaners and tools (mops and such)
provided by the client. There are mops that use dry sheets, mops
that use wet sheets, and mops that use cloths.
Please make use of those tools provided by the client.

There are three things a professional should be careful about
when cleaning a living room.
First, the doorknobs.
Second, the baseboards.
Third, the light switches.
Quite often, the people living in a house will forget to pay
attention to these areas, even if they collect a good deal of dust or
become dirty. Clean these areas well to ensure a good response
from clients.
Also, the area around door knobs often gets dirty, so clean that as
well.

cleaning the ceilings, vents, and lights.
Especially with the ceiling, even if it doesn't appear dirty, there
may be mold present. Wipe using a damp cloth that has been fully
wrung out.

Warning: Be careful not to cause damage when you are cleaning
areas you cannot see.
For hard-to-reach areas like the backs of taps, bring out about
30cm of stocking, and move it horizontally across to polish those
tougher spots with ease.
How to remove grime from bathroom mirrors
Using a citric acid spray, wipe the entire surface, and leave it
covered in the spray for 15 minutes.
Use a toothbrush to attack tougher spots.
Finally, wash the surface with water, using a soft cloth or a

Useful if available: tooth powder, melamine sponge
Melamine sponge
A melamine sponge is a sponge made from melamine resin. Rub
it against a surface, together with water, and you can lift any
substances that have adhered to it. It really feels a lot like an
eraser. Its ability to polish surfaces so softly and finely is amazing,
particularly when those surfaces are enamel or stainless steel
taps, which are similar. It is also extremely effective at removing
the brown incrustation left by hot water.
