Hotel Cleaning Tips and Tricks

If there’s one place that it is very important to keep clean, it’s the hotel room.

Think about the amount of traffic that goes through a typical hotel room in, say, a few months, and this statement makes a lot of sense. With the number of people using the furniture, or that bathroom, it makes sense that cleaning and maintenance should be frequent and thorough. Your establishment is aiming to impress visitors with nice rooms, or at the very least sanitary ones. Read on to learn some tips and tricks that’ll keep furniture looking new, and your guests’ temporary living space, well, live-able.
  • Keep wood furniture, and chrome furniture, nice and polished.
This should be done at least once per month. Be sure to use the appropriate polishing agents for each-i.e., don’t use furniture polish for wood on the chrome. If wooden tables and chairs are scuffed or damaged, there are professional companies available that specialize in furniture restoration. These companies can fix a broken veneer, remove smoke damage, and restore a piece’s faded color so that it looks like new again. Look around on the internet to find an appropriate vendor for the services you need.
  • Have staff clean the bedroom, rather than the bathroom, first.
The bathroom should be saved for last, to keep germs from spreading to the other parts of the hotel room. Also, when cleaning the bathroom, cleaning agents can do their jobs better if left to sit on tiles and counters for a few minutes. Having staff spray these things down first, take care of everything in the bedroom that needs to be cleaned, and then come back to the bathroom at the end is an efficient and effective way to clean the room.
  • Spot cleaning? Vinegar and water is less harsh.
Sometimes different household cleaners can harm certain types of upholstery, so if you’re trying to get rid of a stain, use a solution of vinegar and water. When shampooing furniture, make sure to use cleaning agents that will not harm it. Manufacturers often give instructions on how to clean furniture pieces.
  • Floor tile and grout needs a good scrubbing.
A nylon bristle brush is ideal for getting those hard-to-reach places cleaned. Use one of those, coupled with a cleaning agent, and have the bathroom floors scrubbed. Don’t forget to clean around the toilet and sink in a similar manner, and then rinse everything with clean, fresh water and dry with clean rags. A toothbrush works great to scrub tile grout clean, too.
  • Have carpet regularly shampooed.
Whether you have this done by professional carpet cleaners, or you rent a steam cleaner yourself, try and have the carpets in your hotel cleaned every six weeks or so. This is a fairly lengthy process, and then the carpet needs time to dry. Alternatively, foam cleaning uses detergent that produces a lot of foam, a machine with brushes that scrub it in, and less liquid. This dries a lot faster, but does not clean as deeply as a cleaning that uses hot water extraction. In between these scheduled cleaning times, cleansing dry powders can be sprinkled onto the carpet. These kinds of powders are left on the carpet for a while, and then once they’ve absorbed dirt and stains, are vacuumed up.
  • Mattresses and box springs need to be maintained too.
Because hotel room beds are what are most often sat on and used, their mattresses need to be turned and flipped regularly. Four times a year is a good bet. In addition to this, box springs need to be rotated once a year. This will greatly increase the longevity of both your box springs and mattresses. And lastly, using a mattress cover and pillow protectors won’t hurt, and they protect customers from dust mites and other allergens.
  • Vacuum or sweep first, and then mop.
Having floors mopped before they’re swept or vacuumed just pushes dirt and messes around. Make sure a room is vacuumed often, with all of the high-traffic areas gone over more than once. An easy way to achieve this is to vacuum from the outside of the room to the inside, so that the entrances are gone over multiple times.
  • Don’t forget the drapes.
Drapes should be cleaned once a year, as they collect dust. Only those that are made of synthetic fibers can usually be washed (in cold water), and they should be air dried only. Dust can be vacuumed off of drapes, and a professional dry-cleaning can be performed by a company that specializes in this if the drapes are non-washable.
  • Vacuuming isn’t just for carpet.
In the same vein of vacuuming your drapes, furniture shouldn’t be neglected by housekeeping employees either. If too much dust or dirt collects on upholstery, the fabric can be worn down over time and will look more faded. Using a hose attachment usually takes care of any dust problems your furniture might have.
  • Dish soap and an upholstery brush can be used on (some) furniture fabric.
Upholstery brushes are soft and gentle, and because of this they’re ideal for scrubbing furniture clean. Fill a bucket with dish soap and water, dip the brush in it, and sweep it gently across the furniture’s fabric. Make sure that the furniture is totally dry before anyone uses it again. One more important note: this does not work for all furniture. If the furniture has a label with an X on it, this means it is vacuum-only and, if it needs to be cleaned, it must be done professionally. A W or WS means that it’s okay for water to be used in cleaning the piece, and an S means spot-clean only with no water.
Clearly, there’s a lot that goes into cleaning a hotel room, but it’s worth it in the long run. After all, no one wants to stay in a room that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in forever. Keep things up to par, or above that, and you’ll make your guests happy.
