Cleaning for hotels and aparthotels
How cleaning works in a hotel and an aparthotel
The lobby and front desk around the clock, corridors and lift halls, conference rooms turned around between events, the pool and back of house. We work around the guest: unnoticed, with no smell and no blocked walkways.
Cleaning built around
check-ins and check-outs
We look after city hotels, aparthotels, resorts and boutique hotels: public areas, back of house and specialist work to the site’s schedule.
Your housekeeping team runs the rooms, and everything between them is often left to nobody: lift halls, stairs, service corridors, the car park. That is exactly where the guest forms their impression and an inspector finds the problems.
Why a hotel can’t run on
an office protocol
Four reasons. Pick one and see what it means for the contractor.
The building never closes
An office has its night; a hotel doesn’t: a guest checks in at three in the morning and checks out at six. Cleaning runs continuously and has to go unnoticed — no noise, no smell, no blocked walkways.
The shifts cover the property around the clock, including night arrivals and early departures.
The peaks follow the arrivals
The load doesn’t build evenly but in waves: a group arriving, breakfast, the start of a conference. The shift is planned around the property’s timetable, not around an average rate.
The schedule is built around the property’s timetable: group arrivals, breakfasts, the start of conferences.
The guest’s impression costs money
A hotel sells an impression, and it is scored in public. A mark in the lift or streaks on the lobby glass reach a review faster than they reach the facilities report.
The lobby, the lifts and the glass stay in a state where the hotel can be shown without warning.
Marble and stone need their own care
In Dubai the lobby and public areas are almost always stone. Domestic products kill the polish: it takes stone-specific chemicals, machine polishing and scheduled gloss restoration.
Stone floors are treated with stone-specific products and polished on a plan, not with domestic chemicals.
What we do in a hotel
The areas we
answer for
Tap an area on the plan to see where the risk sits and what we do about it.
Lobby and front desk
The guest’s first and last impression, and the area that shows up most in reviews.
Permanent cover: floor, glass, desk, sofas, bins. Stone care on its own schedule.
Lifts and halls
An enclosed space where every mark and smell is noticed.
Several rounds a shift: cars, mirrors, buttons, thresholds, floor.
Floor corridors
The shared area for every guest on the floor, easily missed between room cleans.
Floors and carpet, skirting, doors, waste taken from the floor stations.
Conference rooms
Sometimes there’s less than an hour between events, and the room has to look new.
A fast turnaround: tables, chairs, glass, equipment, water, consumables.
Pool and gym
Wet areas mean slip and odour risk, and carry the most requirements.
Wet areas, showers and changing rooms treated, slip control, sun loungers and equipment.
Back of house
The guest never sees it, but it is what shows how the property is really kept.
Staff corridors, service lifts, linen stores, changing rooms, the staff dining room.
Measured on site,
reported to you
The KPI and SLA framework is set for your site at launch, so quality can be checked rather than taken on trust.
What the client
facilities teams
Four things facilities teams answer for in front of their own management — and that we take on.
A site manager and a supervisor by name and direct number, not a general office line.
Lifts, stairs, service corridors and the car park sit on the schedule alongside the lobby.
Floors are treated with stone-specific products; polishing and gloss restoration are scheduled, not left until the look is gone.
Machinery, consumables and chemical safety data sheets sit with the contractor.
You don’t notice the right contractor while things go well — and they prove their worth the moment something goes wrong.
How many people
and hours a hotel needs
Set the area and the schedule — you get the crew size, hours on site and a price range. The exact figure comes after the survey.
An attendant is a cleaner who is in the hotel at all times: the lobby, the lifts, the public washrooms and urgent requests. The rooms are your housekeeping team’s job — we work the public and back-of-house areas.
