How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
