Housekeeping Equipment

Efficient cleaning and maintenance are dependent upon high-quality cleaning equipment, correctly using.
Though only 5-10% of the overall cost incurred on cleaning is accounted for by cleaning equipment and
agents, selecting the ideal equipment plays a major role in the cleaning process. There will often be several
ways of carrying out any particular cleaning task and different types of equipment that can be employed for
it. It is the executive housekeeper’s responsibility to select the most appropriate piece of equipment
according to the hotel’s requirement. Most types of cleaning equipment fall under the category of recycled
items, but a few large pieces of items may be considered as fixed assets. The correct choice of quality
cleaning equipment could save costs due to breakdowns, reduce fatigue and also ensure overall efficiency
in operations.
