Expert tips can make all the difference in the demanding world of hotel housekeeping. Whether you’re cleaning ten rooms or thirty, working back-to-back shifts, or preparing for high occupancy, having the right strategies in place keeps things running smoothly. At Renue Systems of Georgia, we work with housekeeping teams every day—and we see firsthand the passion and pride you bring to every guest experience.
That’s why we want to take a moment this Monday to say thank you—and to share five actionable, expert-backed tips to help you kick off your week with confidence, efficiency, and care.
1. Organize Your Cart for Maximum Efficiency
Start your shift by double-checking your housekeeping cart. A well-stocked and organized cart saves time, minimizes trips to the supply closet, and reduces interruptions in your routine. Expert tip: place high-use items like cloths, gloves, and disinfectant sprays on top, and group items by category—bathroom supplies in one section, linens in another.
Repetition is key—when your cart is set up the same way every time, it becomes second nature to find what you need fast, even during your busiest days.
2. Clean Top to Bottom, Back to Front
It may sound basic, but it’s worth repeating: always clean from the top down and the back of the room forward. Dust and debris fall downward, so start with higher surfaces like vents, headboards, mirrors, and picture frames before tackling beds, baseboards, and flooring.
Moving from the far side of the room to the entrance also ensures you’re not walking over freshly cleaned areas. These small habits build long-term efficiency and reduce the chance of having to redo work.
3. Treat Stains Right Away—and Know When to Call for Backup
Whether it’s red wine on a carpet, makeup on upholstery, or mildew in the bathroom, treating stains immediately improves your odds of removal. Use your approved stain removers and allow the product to work before scrubbing. Expert tip: never rub—blot and lift to prevent setting the stain deeper into the fabric.
If you encounter a tough stain or recurring odor that’s beyond the scope of your supplies, call in the pros. Renue Systems of Georgia specializes in removing difficult stains, restoring surfaces, and helping your property stay spotless behind the scenes.
4. Prioritize Air Quality and Freshness
Guests often associate cleanliness with scent—and no amount of visual sparkle can make up for a musty smell. Whenever possible, open a window while cleaning to refresh the air. Use lightly scented, brand-approved deodorizers sparingly, and always make sure PTAC units are free from mold, dust, and debris.
An overlooked HVAC system can spread bad odors or allergens across the room. Renue offers expert PTAC cleaning services to help hotels maintain fresh, healthy air in every guestroom.
5. Take Care of Your Most Valuable Tool: YOU
Expert tips don’t just apply to surfaces and supplies—they apply to your own well-being. Start your shift with proper hydration and take brief stretch breaks between rooms. Wear comfortable, supportive shoes and gloves to reduce fatigue and protect your hands.
Burnout in hospitality is real—but small acts of self-care throughout the day can help you stay energized and motivated. Remember: the better you feel, the better you work.
