Hotel Housekeeper

Housekeepers maintain the appearance of hotel rooms, rental properties and private residences. They handle a variety of tasks to keep clutter from accumulating and remove dirt, debris and germs from surfaces. In addition to cleaning responsibilities, housekeepers may also have light clerical duties to complete during their shifts.

• Using disinfecting cleaning products to clean hard surfaces, such as toilets, countertops, showers, tubs and tables
• Performing deep cleans to remove stains and large messes, as needed
• Notifying owners or management of damage to a room or property
• Logging all lost and found items

• Responding to calls for housekeeping issues, such as spills and broken glass
• Monitoring and reporting on the inventory of cleaning supplies
• Providing status updates upon completing a cleaning checklist or finishing a guest request
• Cleaning, disinfecting and storing all equipment at the end of the shift
