Housekeeping Check List

I don't have one, but here are a few ideas:

Inspect the rooms and see what housekeepers are missing, then put them on the list. Quick brainstorm:

• corner-dirt on floors where the mop misses (see image)
• spider webs and dust on ceilings and wall corners
• window-shade dirt, especially this kind (I've seen these so dirty that you could see the dirt on the 4th floor window blinds while standing on the street.)
• trash and dirt under the bed (might need to be moved to sweep, depending on the design)
• trash and dirt behind other furniture
• corners everywhere in bathrooms
• under and behind toilet, all around toilet seat hinges
• clean the dust on top of everything
• dust off the lamps
• dust off the wall boards and power sockets
• dust off top of toilet water tank (depending on design)
• around all the sink parts, including under sink
• check inside any drawers
• showers should be spotless
• no hair on floors, showers, sinks
• clean all mirrors and shiny things, like the faucets
• see if there is anything missing from the room
• check that all the light bulbs work
• check that the signs on the wall still look nice
• count the number of guests in the room and give final list to front desk

Tip for housekeepers: clean everything from top to bottom -- e.g., dust the dresser before sweeping the floor.

We used to set aside a certain number of rooms to "deep clean" every day, and rotate them so every room got an especially good cleaning about once per week.
