How to Clean a Hotel Room

Guests like their hotel room to be squeaky clean and to smell fresh. The
manager of the housekeeping staff or another upper management staff member
is generally in charge of making sure that the quality standards of the hotel are
followed with regard to cleaning the rooms. Managers supervise housekeepers
and inspect the rooms for optimum results and guest satisfaction. Housekeeping
personnel assigned to each room are expected to properly complete a series of
cleaning and sanitizing duties as outlined in the steps that follow.

Remove dirty linens, towels, and trash from the room and the bathroom.
Remove the comforter/blanket. If items are scheduled to be be laundered,
remove them from the room. Otherwise, set them aside while changing the
bed linens.
2. Step 2

Put clean sheets on the bed (one fitted sheet, one flat sheet) and clean
pillowcases on the pillows. Replace the blanket and comforter. Fold
approximately 1/4 of the comforter down from the top of the bed, and set the
pillows on the crease. Then pull the comforter up over the pillows back
toward the top of the bed. This is the standard way to make the bed in many
hotels .

Clean the bathroom. Use several rags to prevent cross contamination. Spray
the bathtub and shower walls with bathroom cleaner, and wipe them down
with a rag. Rinse with water if the chemical you use requires rinsing. Change
the shower curtain if it is dirty. Spray the toilet and seat with bathroom
cleaner, and wipe it down with a different rag.
Spray bathroom cleaner in the sink bowl and on the vanity surface. Use a
new rag to wipe the vanity surface first and then wipe the sink bowl. Spray
glass cleaner on the mirrors and wipe with a new rag. Replace trash bags,
toilet paper, towels, and other amenities provided by the hotel such as soap,
shampoo and shower cap.

Clean the mirrors, windows, TV, and phone in the guest room with the glass
cleaner. Wipe down any hard surfaces of furniture such as the desk, dresser,
nightstand, lamps, headboard and inside of drawers. Remove stains from the
carpeting or upholstery with a cleaning product made specifically for
carpeting and upholstery.
5. Step 5

Replace trash bags in the room. Make sure all other items provided by the
hotel are replaced, such as laundry bags, laundry slips, do-not-disturb signs,
in-room guest guides, and chocolate for the pillows. Remove all rags and
cleaning products from the room. Vacuum the carpet, and spray the room
with air freshener.
