Your impact on housekeeping

I embarked on my professional journey in laundry operations approximately a decade ago. However, my fascination with housekeeping operations soon began to blossom, leading me to delve deeper into this field. As my interest evolved into a genuine passion, I made a conscious decision to advance my career within the domain of housekeeping. From that point onward, I have continually progressed in this field, accumulating over a decade of invaluable experience across various renowned brands in the realm of housekeeping.

The challenges you faced in your housekeeping career 

Every housekeeper faces a high workload with limited time and manning, especially in busy environments like hotels, However efficient scheduling, prioritising tasks, and utilising technology for task management can help in managing time effectively. 

Ensuring consistent cleanliness and maintaining high hygiene standards in all areas can be challenging, especially in large facilities. Finding and retaining skilled employees is yet another challenge and adapting to new technologies is yet another but regular training, implementing thorough cleaning checklists, regular inspections, and fostering a culture of cleanliness and attention to detail can help in maintaining high standards consistently.

Your advice to fellow housekeeping professionals

  • Pay meticulous attention to every aspect of your work. 
  • Safety and hygiene should always be a top priority. 
  • Maintain a professional and respectful attitude towards both clients and colleagues. 
  • Always continuously learn and improve.
