When you treat yourself and decide to book a hotel room in a carefully booked hotel, you want to beauty, of cleanliness and of comfort. However, this requires monitoring to ensure that quality is maintained in hotel cleaning. So let's look at some common non-conformities and possible solutions. We will cover the topic under three main headings: The bedroom, the bathroom and the maintenance.
Even though we know it's a space rented to several guests, we don't want to see it!
The bedroom is a space of rest
Despite the flow of guests, the room must be spotless for every guest. A systematic room inspection would be enough to prevent non-conformities and correct them quickly.
- The sheets must be well stretched and above all, without any hair or fur.
- No presence of insects or critters. Inspecting the mattress is very important. To this end, be aware that a industrial steam equipment can disinfect, decontaminate and sanitize. As well as kills the notorious dust mites, bed bugs and eliminates mold!
- The room should be tidy yet uncluttered. This will also make cleaning easier.
- Furniture must be cleaned. Cleaning isn't just dusting, but actually cleaning, with a microfiber cloth dampened with the appropriate product. This includes furniture, television controls, tables and chairs, drawer and cabinet knobs, headboards and footboards, etc.
- The inside of drawers and cabinets should be checked to ensure that there is only what should be there.
- The layout must be neat. For example, the assortment of coffee, sugar, and tea must be nicely arranged and the condiments must be in sufficient quantity.
- The maintenance of walls, baseboards, doors, curtains, carpets, armchairs, and ceramic tiles should be checked and corrected regularly. They should also be systematically cleaned according to a defined schedule. To this end, use quieter times of the year to carry out these special tasks.
The bathroom
It is in the bathroom that I find the greatest number of non-conformities:
- Ceramic joints blackened by dirt,
- Mold,
- Poorly cleaned furniture,
- Cracked and dirty ceramic tiles, etc.
- Soap or dirt residue
Arranging things neatly on the countertop isn't enough. The space must be clean above all else. Cleaning equipment must be adequate, as dirt, limescale, or soap residue won't be easily removed if you don't have effective products and accessories for these problems.
Some effective tools and products
Accessories
- Microfiber cloths quality. Use yellow for plumbing and pink for toilets and urinals only.
- Soft recurring tampon. The Bath Magic from Vileda Professional is very effective without being too abrasive.
- Different brushes can be useful with the appropriate product for cleaning ceramic. The crevice brush and the floor brush are very effective.
Cleaning products
- A biotechnological bathroom cleaner will be safe for surfaces while still being effective.
- A biotechnological descaling product will help you remove stubborn stains. However, with daily maintenance, this product should only be used occasionally.
Equipment
- Steam and textile extractor equipment
- A good one vacuum cleaner. Consider employee comfort when choosing this equipment.
Maintenance
A crooked soap dish, a lack of adequate ventilation in the bathroom, a screeching air conditioner, or poorly executed repairs are among the recurring non-conformities in the hotel sector. Admit it, this kind of negligence doesn't inspire confidence!
Recovery of the situation
If you believe your hotel's maintenance is lacking, it's not too late to correct the situation. Conduct an honest examination of each room and list the non-conformities by room. Examine employee work methods, housekeeping areas, and the condition of housekeeping carts. Check the products and accessories used. After a thorough examination of these areas, you should be able to diagnose what needs to be corrected.
Ask for help from a building hygiene and sanitation consultant is always possible.
