How a Hotel Room Is Cleaned

Each time a guest stays in a hotel room, the entire surface is cleaned in preparation for the next visitor. Not only is this done due to hygiene regulations, hotels want to provide their guests with the best service possible and the team here at The Mitre know there is nothing worse than discovering a dirty bathroom or unmade bed. After all, you are parting with your cash in return for a relaxing place to spend the night. Here is the lowdown on how most hotel rooms are cleaned…

1. The first thing that a member of the housekeeping team in any hotel will do is gather all of the materials they may need. This usually includes fresh bedsheets, clean towels, cleaning supplies and a vacuum cleaner.
2. The process begins by removing any room service trays from the room, if the hotel offers such a service, and taking it down to the kitchen along with any used cups and cutlery from the tea and coffee confectionary station. After this, all the sheets are stripped from the bed and along with the used towels, are placed inside the laundry basket.
3. The staff will then empty the bins situated in the room, replace any used complimentary bathroom soaps and condiments and provide clean cups next to the kettle.
4. After this, every surface is dusted and cleaned using a fresh cloth and spray, including the whole of the bathroom. There should be no hairs in sight to the staff nor the guest who is going to enter the room.
5. If necessary, the floor is vacuumed and the bins are provided with new liners. Some hotels will provide literature and following the cleaning of the surfaces, the staff will present this in the appropriate area.
6. Finally, clean bedsheets are added and the housekeeper will leave the room with the lights switched off and the curtains open, taking all of their cleaning equipment with them.
