10 Most Common Housekeeping Non-Conformities

1. 1. Around the faucets and sinks: Inadequate or infrequent cleaning leads to limescale buildup. Using the right product and method makes all the difference. A microfiber cloth held correctly will greatly help.
   2. The sink drain turn:  Very often, people empty the remainder of their coffee cup or coffee maker. Improper cleansing or the use of the wrong product can cause a brown dark circle to appear.
   3. The half-moons of the doors: The door handles are cleaned, but the surrounding area—often touched by hands—is neglected. A quick wipe with a cloth is all it takes. Furthermore, these areas represent high-risk contact points for contamination (high touch), and cleaning staff clean them daily, or even more frequently depending on the building's occupancy.

To avoid these streaks, simply integrate a final wiping to the window cleaning routine. After you've finished cleaning, a quick wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth along the bottom of the door will remove any streaks or residue. This step only takes a few seconds, but it makes all the difference in the perceived quality of the work.
