Housekeeping Standards

Professional room cleaning follows two rules that decide the whole sequence: work from top to bottom (dust falls), and from clean areas to dirty ones (never drag bathroom germs into the bedroom). A standard sequence: knock and announce, ventilate, strip the beds, remove rubbish, dust high to low, make the beds, clean the bathroom last with its own cloths, then vacuum your way out of the room so you leave no footprints.

A well-stocked trolley at the start of the shift is the difference between a smooth day and a hundred corridor trips. Linen counted, amenities topped up, chemicals in labelled bottles, separate bags for rubbish and used linen. Park it against the corridor wall beside the door — never blocking the corridor, never inside the room where it scuffs walls and carries dirt in.
