Hey everyone! Ever thought about what it's like for the Housekeeping attendants who clean up after us in hotels? Well, I had a chat with them, and they shared some things they wish guests knew. Check it out:

***(from Cleaning attendant perspective)

  1. No Need for "Do Not Disturb" All the Time: leaving that 'do not disturb' sign up for your whole stay? Not cool. It actually makes the cleaner's job harder, and they might miss out on work hours.

  2. Tell Us When to Clean: if you have a preferred cleaning time, just tell the front desk. It helps the cleaners do their job without wasting time.

  3. Daily Cleaning is Better: skipping cleaning might seem nice, but it makes the room messier and the cleaner's job tougher. Plus, they might get fewer hours to work.

  4. Only Ask for the Towels You Need: se kind and ask for only the towels you really need. It makes it easier for the cleaning crew and is good for the environment.

  5. Remember to Tip: tipping is a big deal for cleaners. Even a small tip can make their day and help with daily expenses.

Bonus Tips:

  • Give a Shoutout in Reviews: if you liked your cleaner, mention their name in your review. It gives them the credit they deserve.

  • Use Protective Gear for Hazardous Stuff: when it comes to handling risky stuff, cleaners need the right gear. Safety first!

  • We Need Panic Buttons: cleaners often work alone. A panic button with GPS makes them feel safer in case of trouble.

  • Keep Your Room Neat: try to keep your room tidy. It makes the cleaner's job easier and shows you appreciate their work.

  • Hide Your Stuff: stash your personal things out of sight. It's a small thing that makes the cleaner's day better.

The next time you stay at a hotel, remember these tips. Being considerate can make a big difference! Have a safe journey!
