How to Clean Hotel Rooms
Everyone expects a clean room when they stay at a hotel. A hotel room should be clean enough when a guest walks into it that it would appear that no one else has stayed there. A hotel room should not only look clean it should smell clean as well.
Items needed:
- All purpose cleaner
- Wash cloths
- Clean bedding
- Toilet bowl cleaner
- Furniture polish
- Vacuum
- Towels
- Paper towels
- Toilet brush
- Air Freshener
- Shower curtain
- Glass cleaner
- Room accessories
- Pick up all of the dirty laundry and place it in a bag. This includes removing all of the previous guest’s sheets, blankets, pillowcases, towels, shower curtain and rags. All laundry should be picked up, washed, dried and folded.
- Bring clean blankets, sheets and pillowcases to the room to replace the used bedding. You’ll need to put on the fitted sheet first, then cover it with a flat sheet and slip new pillowcases on the pillows. Put the comforter over the flat sheet and fold it about one-quarter of it down. Overlap the pillow slightly on the folded down comforter and pull the folded down comforter back over the top of your pillows.
- Restock the bathroom with clean towels, wash, cloths, toilet paper and tissues.
- Empty all of the trashcans in the room and replace the bags inside them with new ones.
- Scrub down the toilet with a toilet brush and toilet bowl cleaner, and wipe down the seat and outside of the bowl using a new wash cloth and all purpose cleaner.
- Cleanse the shower with spray shower cleaner and scrub it down with a scrub brush. Soap scum can be hard to remove. After scrubbing away the grime, rinse the bathtub with hot water from the showerhead.
- Clean out the sink using all-purpose cleaner and an unused wash cloth to keep from spreading germs. Rinse the cleaner out of the sink with hot water.
- Sweep and mop the bathroom floor with a broom, mop and bucket of soapy water.
- Clean all glass and windows with glass cleaner and paper towels. Paper towels work best on glass because they do not smear as badly.
- Dust any woods surfaces with wood polish and a new washcloth.
- Use carpet cleaner to clean up any stains or trouble areas on the carpet.
- Vacuum the carpet.
- Re place any other items the hotel provides for guests, such as coffee, snacks and do not disturb signs.
- Spray air freshener throughout the room to give it a fresh scent.
