    As a housekeeper I always try to keep my rooms clean. The problems often come from management. Getting the rooms done fast is usually far more important than doing it well. I once had to debate with my manager in front of the big boss when he tried to get me fired for taking an extra 5 minutes in each room. I pulled a cloth with black streaks out of my pocket and asked if it was acceptable for me to leave that dirt in the room. He said no so I said "so I guess I better take a few extra minutes and fix it, huh?" He no longer works at our hotel. I still do. My rooms are not perfect, but I do my best.

      No you don't especially the window blind pull cords 😔🤯... I stayed in hospital with my child for almost 1 year and had several swabs done while there they told me the results where so bad they couldn't even share with me and there was stuff they didn't know what it was even on the medication drawers... I would virox my child's while room even floor twice a day everything. They never even mopped the floor in our room once the whole time we where there. I did it with virox and booties covers skating around the floor and gloves and hands under counter etc...

    I worked for a "luxury" holiday home company here in Australia for a few years and I can tell you that even when you are paying top dollar for your establishment to be cleaned, there are MANY corners being cut. For example, if the bed sheets and pillow cases didn't "look dirty" we were told to leave them on for the next guests, some of whom were paying tens of thousands of dollars to stay for a night. That's just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of the corner cutting comes down to time. For example, we were given 4 hours total to clean a house with 10 rooms and over 30 beds. If we went over the time, we weren't payed.
    I now ALWAYS take my own bedding when I stay ANYWHERE away from home and definitely do my own clean with antibacterial wipes when I get there. Cutting corners like some companies do, can make people really sick and in worst cases, cost lives.
    If you want it done properly, do it yourself. It amazes me that the companies don't make sure things are cleaned properly as it can and has ended up in many lawsuits around the world.

      @@b.k.3364 There’s no way to determine if the establishment will give you ‘fresh’ sheets or not. It’s best to bring your own - take a set of old sheets with you or pick up clearanced king size flat sheets wherever you can find them on sale. Either dispose of them after using or sanitize them when you get home. That way, you’ll know for certain the bed linen is clean.

    Housekeeping is probably the hardest job at a hotel. They are under payed and expected to clean a room in 30 mins or less. I use to work in hospitality for years (doing housekeeping for a few months) and i was destroyed after a shift lol. I can't speak for every housekeeper but I made sure the room was cleaned, primed and polished for every guest. but after a while.... your soul dies a bit. The system is flawed.

    I was a housekeeper at a hotel years ago and it is true that you are given 20 rooms in an 8 hr. shift. If you didn’t have your allotted rooms done in your shift the manager or a coworker would have to clean the remainder of rooms. Comforters and blankets are only changed if they looked soiled. My manager and laundry scolded me for changing out the above mentioned items. I quit and started cleaning houses on my own because I refuse to accept filth for myself or anyone who occupies a space I was responsible to clean.

    • @kianelliott4874
      @kianelliott4874 Рік тому

    • @kellybee1935
      @kellybee1935 Рік тому +7

      Never said I couldn’t do 20 rooms in an 8 hr shift. Substandard housekeeping is why many establishments do not pass inspections and I want no part of that. I would love to see an inspection report on the 20 rooms that you did in an 8 hr. shift.

  • @Blooomix
    @Blooomix 6 років тому +572

    Yeah, but look at this from other perspective, who does all that stuff? Not housekeeping obviously. Cleaning is on the one hand - but the guests are those who first should start to learn how to behave in hotels too. The urine stain on the wall? People tend to disrespect things that aren't their property, I worked at housekeeping and most of you would wouldn't believe how dirty some rooms are after certain guests.

    • @Hitsuji-senpaiVT
      @Hitsuji-senpaiVT 6 років тому +48

      I agree with you. And hopefully, people who don't will start to learn respect property that isn't theirs. Just because the room doesn't belong to the individual staying there, doesn't mean it's okay to pee on the wall or let their children mark up the walls, chairs, bedding, etc. with the pens provided in the rooms with the "Note to self" pads. That stuff is not easy to clean and none of us want to spend a lot of time trying to clean it up.

      Sure theres going to be bad guest but that doesnt excuse the way you or they should be properly cleaned.. especially for $80 plus a night! As an adult It's common sense on how to clean things proper. Take initiative.. if you are being trained wrong say something or do it better than the person who trained you and you'll eventually take that person's job.

  • @ghostcat8519
    @ghostcat8519 7 років тому +426

    If the hotel managers would give the housekeepers more time to clean the rooms, AND hire more housekeepers, then there's a really good chance the rooms would be much cleaner. At the hotel I worked at, the housekeepers were given 20 minutes per room. That's really not enough time to clean a room properly, especially if the guest stays several days.

    • @ghostcat8519
      @ghostcat8519 7 років тому +38

      And if they do laundry like I had to do, the sheets really aren't getting that clean. I had to literally pack the washing machine with linen and top comforters from 7-8 rooms into one load. There should be more room for the linens to agitate properly in the water, but I had to pack them so full they would never move. Trust me when I say that hotels need to really step up when it comes to time/money invested in keeping the rooms clean, and stop worrying about penny pinching.

    I loved my time as a resort housekeeper- being able to just put my head down and work hard with no distractions. Most housekeepers take huge pride in their work. Everybody makes the odd mistake, usually if you get interrupted, but most of us do a very good job. Training is a factor too, if the girls aren't trained properly they don't know, and you can't force an uninterested person to do a good job.

    I worked at the holiday inn, in Guelph. The filth and contamination was absolutely appalling. For example the bedding was not washed after every use, if the bedding looked clean, they would just reuse it, for as long as possible. I began to take notes about what I saw, and what I though could be improved. I did a test, too. I found a used condom on the ground in the stairwell, under the stairs, and I left it there to see how long it would take for someone to pick it up. Well a month later I made a meeting with the hotel manager, and the head of housekeeping to talk about what I've noticed, and what I thought could be done. Well, they did not appreciate the concerns I raised, and since I wasn't unionized, they fired me on the spot. That was 5 years ago, and I bet that used condom is still lying in that stairwell.

    The bottom line is money. It means the cleaning staff have a limited time to do a LOT of hard physical work and they are required to do it as quickly as possible, often while getting paid minimum wage. There's not enough time to be thorough in the cleaning, not by a long shot. Standard practice is cleaning up to sixteen rooms in eight hours - 1/2 hour each room.

    This is pretty gross! I used to work at a restaurant when I was in high school. I always thought "Oh well, I'm sure the manager will take care of that" And I had some not many, some customers getting sick after eating at the tables or using the bathrooms. I decided to go up the chain of command. After six months they didn't respond to my concerns, so I took it upon myself to give the topic to my reporter friend. After a year finally, the restaurant started providing better cleaning products and training all staff on wearing/ changing disposable gloves, disinfecting countertops, etc. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING SPEAK UP AND MAKE IT HAPPEN, that way we can stay healthy.

    As a traveller staying in hotels frequently I have come across these issues. The final straw for me was when I finally got a chance to talk to chamber maids that I knew personally. What they are told to do is horrific. If they don't, they lose their jobs. The mop is to be used on the floors and whatever they can do in the room with it. Then the vanity gets the first clean with this mop, then the toilet and lastly to clean the mop, the shower is cleaned with it and the mop gets rinsed out at the same time. (2 for 1) Here's a fun fact (not really) When the carts are in the hallway and the cleaners are working you'll see the white sheets going into the laundry bags. Have you ever seen the duvet? I will never stay at a hotel again.

    I used to be a housekeeper at a hotel. It was a fairly large privately owned pretty fancy hotel. All they had us do is spray the sink and tub area down with some spray and wipe it down, wipe the outside of the toilet down, vacuum and change only the sheets and pillowcases on the beds. We were instructed to put the same bedspread back on the bed. When I stay at a motel or hotel now, the first thing I do is take the bed spreads off and throw them in the corner then call room service and ask for more sheets. I always bring a can of Lysol with and spray the hell out of the place then leave for a while so it can air out. I spray EVERYTHING, door knobs, the remote control, the knobs on the lamps, the the headboards on the bed, the walls, the floors, the desks, chairs, EVERYTHING! ! Then I go around and wipe everything off again with disinfectant wipes including paper stuff like the phone book! I am a complete germaphobe!

      Hunt Guy I'm more concerned about the way rooms are looked after, than I am about every last germ being dead. As humans, we're covered with germs day in, and day out. I could give a rat's ass about germs, unless shit is all over the walls, I could care less.
      I stayed in a Holiday Inn one time, and at 3AM, the fire alarm started chirping, I couldn't ignore it. It was all I could do was to keep from smashing that thing to pieces. I couldn't take it, so I called the front desk. It was the manager, and he was so apologetic, that I couldn't be pissed at him. He was more frustrated with Holiday Inn, because he'd been having problems like that off, and on for months. He suggested that they go and replace all the batteries once a year.. good, or bad. After a year, they're done.
      The idea was shot down of course. The company was concerned about batteries that had a few more months left in 'em, and getting replaced for no reason. He said he gave up the quest, and now he replaces them when they're obviously screwed.
      Holiday Inn lost at least one customer. They wouldn't even give me a break on the cost of the room. You better believe this guy filled out that questionnaire they leave that goes to corporate. In it, I let them know I wasn't a happy camper, and they'd NEVER see me in there again. And to this day, they've never seen me back again, and I'll never go back in the future.

    The main cause of this problem is the housekeeping job itself. It is incredibly difficult, you only get a small amount of time to clean an entire room, and to pick those small things like the lamp base or a remote? There's no way you are going to be doing that especially with how much time you have and how many rooms you have to clean in a shift. It is a very physically straining job and these hotels try to maximize profits like all businesses. I don't see them doubling the housekeeping staff and increase to attention to detail anytime soon.

      +Nissan L33 In the institution(not a hotel) that I work in, the cleaning staff has to swipe their id badge before starting to clean a room and again after finishing. The problem is that this enables management to enforce "productivity" goals. Instead of taking twenty minutes to clean we are forced to average ten minutes per room. You just have to cut corners. When I originally trained thirty years ago we would clean all surfaces of sinks and toilets including the pipe and underside of the sink. Now we are told to only sanitize the "contact" points. The theory is that the germs underneath the sink or on the back side of the toilet aren't going to hurt anybody. Failure to make the quota of rooms will result in disciplinary action leading up to termination of your employment. People are desperate to hold down their jobs and will skip breaks and even work after punching out to catch up. Your hunches are correct.

As a former housekeeper, time has been (and still is) a struggle for me when it comes to cleaning many rooms, especially at hotels that give their housekeeping staff 20+ rooms to do and 30 mins or less per room. I've been reassured by many that you get better over time once you get into the rhythm of work (which is true), but working quickly heightens stress and takes away from performance. I've heard of some housekeeping staff cutting corners to get done quicker and of course, someone is going to notice. I believe in getting the job done right and in a timely manner, but I'm sure housekeepers (myself included) feel pressured to work faster and faster past their limit.

Was that revenge against people who can afford to travel, bitterness against her job or something, or lack of common sense. My parents didn't teach me to not wipe anything with anything you just wiped the inside of the toilet with, I FIGURED IT OUT ON MY OWN!

Every second counts . It is nothing against the guest is about slavery in hotels ! Before they used paid more for the same job and with more time, Currently they hire external companies, asking for more rooms done in less time

    I worked for the Holiday Inn located in Kitchener, ON and they overworked housekeeping staff. We would be assigned 16 rooms a day and expected to get everything done in each room within the 8 hour shift. Needless to say, too many rooms and not enough time, led to a lot of shortcuts made so they'd get done in time. It's impossible to get the rooms really clean if you're only given 15-20 minutes to get each room done. It's long enough to get the beds changed, bathroom wiped down and the carpets vacuumed and then it's on to the next one.

I knew of other maids with the same work load and a lot of us cut corners just to keep up with the 30 minute time frame we were given to completely clean one room. It was of course very stressful. A lot of times we just didn't have the time to do a complete cleaning.

Whats not is being a cook and having 5 tickets that all need to go out the same time so you juggle what to make first. House keeping you go in, take blankets and towels and wipe things down. thats it. If somethings dirty you can take it out of rotation until you get it cleaned, like smoking or a ring around the bath tub.

    One of the reasons why hotels do NOT clean their hotel rooms is because they are depending on the guests to do it for them. The lady who said she cleaned certain items with alcohol wipes did not say to use 1 alcohol wipe per item. It does take more than a few minutes to sanitize a room. I would also bring a black light with you to see the germs on the sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and towels. If a towel shelf is situated above the toilet (yuck), do NOT use the towels and wash cloths. Usually, the bedspread or comforter has not been recently washed, so upon entering the room, immediately take it off the bed for good. Never make coffee from the small machine in your room. If your room has an air conditioner in it, check and see if the screen has been recently cleaned or if it is dusty. I would not use the first tissue poking up from the tissue box, either; throw it away. Some people ask for an unopened box of tissues, and the same with the toilet paper.

      No excuses just clean the damn room and bathroom, is what they sign up for, they knew what salary they were going to get. It's not like the government or company is obligating them,Mir they don't like the job than there are other people looking for a job like that.

      +TheFedericohiguain2 They sign up for a job since they don't have many options. Generally they are hispanic women who are trying to make ends meat. My mother has been cleaning hotels for over 20 years and she has always tried to do the best that she can. In the beginning she would do 9 rooms in around 8 hours but she would make sure everything was spick and span. Later management needed less people since they felt that it would be better and more cost efficient. There are women who had to do 20+ rooms in 8 hours and the hotel costs $300+ per room. My mom has seen many women come and go in those hotels since the work is to hard and the demand is to high and also they are paid the minimum wage.

      I agree. these "measures" the companies say they're taking are probably just retraining their employees when they actually need more staff and better tools

      Management know all about of this but they dont care as long they still can run the business . Keep pushing and give preasure to housekeeping. Guest never know about housekeeping need to clean more then 20 rooms per day sometime housekeeping department not enough man power then per person housekeeping need do more more more room . PLUS WHEN THE HOUSEKEEPING VERY SLOW DOING THEY JOB , THE BLOODY MANAGMENT WILL KEEP YELLING NEED THE ROOM IMMENDENTLY . Plese give housekeeping less room , 10 room perday . So we can spend 1hours per room . Cleanlines will be tip top siak! We can help decor the room also . Hahaha . 20plus rooms per day you expect the room is clean ? zZzZzz

      When I was a House Keeper at a fancy Motel all those years ago in Montana we got 15 to 20 minutes, and Management would still complain we weren't working fast enough!!! And those rooms were immaculate and were all inspected before any of us were aloud to go home for the day and if we even missed a hair or anything we had to clean it and have inspected again before leaving for the day...... so even though there is a lot of pressure on these house keepers to get it done fast!!! They got it lucky compared to some of us!!! Lol

      @@kathycharles741 alot of managers haven't done the work of their subordinates... and thus lack 'context' regarding your work (true in alot of industries. )
      Many managers excel at 'yelling' and intimidating staff... and think that's an effective way to 'run things.' Problem solving... is a foreign concept for many aspiring managers... who often get their start in bookkeeping and other administrative roles.
      If they went to school... they (some of them but certainly not all) look down at their staff as too lazy or underprivileged to have 'put the effort in at school'... when it mattered... and are now suffering accordingly.
      They don't worry about 'their failings' as managers... prefering to assign the blame on their subordinates... deciding in their aloof minds... that any and all issues are the problem of and responsibility of the under trained, poorly paid/equipped and motivated people working supporting roles... beneath them.
      Managers... especially bad ones... are the primary reason I prefer to play the markets for my living... where I answer to 'no one.' I also 'own' any success or failure I make... poor due diligence =lost opportunity... have only myself to blame if things don't work out, wouldn't have it any other way.

      Big difference is that you don't have a high turnover of people. Think when one in the family has winter flu and how it spreads in the home. The very same would happen in a hotel which is why a higher level of sanitation is required compared to the domestic home

    I find this really bothersome! I work at a hotel and I’ve done both housekeeping and laundry. The hotel I work at has very high cleaning standards. We are given around 30 minutes per room, which is usually more than enough. All sheets get changed, everything gets dusted (with separate rags), the bathrooms are cleaned in certain orders using separate products and rags. We also do deep cleans of rooms monthly, where we spend an entire 8 hour shift scrubbing down the walls and deep cleaning the carpets and even the curtains get washed! I think the management of these hotels really need to get their stuff together and start meeting the proper standards of the hotel! Clearly these hotels are understaffed and not giving the housekeepers enough time or the proper tools to do their job, or these housekeepers are just being lazy. This is so gross and it makes housekeeping at hotels everywhere look so bad.
