Housekeeping-tips, tricks, technology

Regardless of whether you outsource your laundry or do it in-house, housekeeping is one of the most important aspects of operations.

Cross-training staff and staggering shifts to align with check-ins and outs will help optimize staffing and schedules. If your rooms have similar setups, this will reduce inconsistencies. Creating cleaning checklists offers a logical order for each room type and should decrease backtracking.

Technology! Automating tasks on apps, tracking room status in real time, and reducing manual reporting all enhance communication across your facility.

Creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) will assist you in managing key performance indicators and offer measurable data for analyzing improvements.

How can our products help?

As a solution-driven company, we take customer feedback and enhance our trusted products. Here are a few examples:

TrueFit™ - Color Indicators for Size Identification

In a fast-paced laundry environment, housekeeping tricks are essential. Different colored hem threads on our sheets and mattress pads are used to identify sizes. For blankets and other items, if the exposed thread colors are not very appealing, the colors are noted on our woven labels. This technology enables housekeeping to quickly and mentally recognize where the product belongs for storage or use.

Fresh&READY™- Products Ready for Use Upon Delivery

This innovation ensures our towels are cured in hot water and third-party tested to be room-ready. Housekeeping can eliminate the initial laundering process, resulting in reduced costs for properties in energy, water, and labor.
