What this sheet is for

Get every room cleaned the same way whoever is on the trolley. A fault is caught by the checker rather than by the guest.

Who it is for

Housekeepers and room attendants in hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfasts, and the supervisor who checks the room before it is released.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the room, the date and the type of clean at the top before starting.
  2. Work through the bedroom list, then the bathroom, ticking as each job is done.
  3. Write any fault or damage in the faults table and report it straight away.
  4. Note anything the guest left behind and who it was handed to.
  5. Have the room checked and signed off, with the time it was ready to let.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: One room, one clean — bedroom and bathroom worked through in order and ticked as each job is done, faults written up, and the room signed off as ready to let. What a finished room looks like is your house standard; this records that it was met.

Questions

Why is there no turnaround time or cleaning standard on the sheet?

Because both are yours. How long a room takes and what a finished room looks like depend on the room, the type of clean and your house standard, and a figure printed here would be someone else's. The sheet records the order of work and that it was done and checked.

What is the difference between this and the deep clean rota?

This is one room on one day — the routine service or departure clean. A deep clean is the mattress-turning, carpet-shampooing job done less often, and it belongs on its own rota so the overdue rooms stand out.
