A Day in YOUR Life as a Night Public Cleaner

Every person that enters a hotel should be greeted and feel like a guest! This is YOU on your first day of work and every work day after that. You walk in with a smile, say hello to passing guests and acknowledge your colleagues perhaps with a smile, nod or salutation. You are already taking in the surroundings and noticing items to be addressed, such as a discarded coffee cup on a table, and you aren’t even in uniform yet! After putting the cup in the trash, you make your way to the employee change room and transform into to your sharp, clean look with your professional and comfortable uniform, punch in at the time clock and energetically join your night-time teammates.

You will be preparing to see how you will tackle the evenings cleaning of public areas and assisting your Housekeeping teammates, if needed. Regardless of the time of day or length of shift you are ready to meet every guest with exceptional service, cleanliness and care!

As the night begins, you check in with the front desk overnight team to communicate that you are starting your duties for the night. As you are working in your department during a time that a leader is not present you must be self motivated. You also must communicate effectively through check lists and other non face to face channels. Overnight we have limited staff working which means you and the front desk team member will be constant communication as you are responsible for the safety and security of the property.

The public areas have a big impact on a guest’s impression of the hotel, and you take pride in this. Nobody wants to see overflowing garbage cans, dusty lobby furniture, or dirty carpets in the hallways when they stay at a hotel. You will maintain and keep public areas clean to create a positive guest experience. Being a public cleaner, you will be required to pay attention to details. This is not only for maintaining the appearance and cleanliness of the hotel, but also observing what kind of guests are staying in the hotel. You may want to vacuum the lobby area but you notice a guest checking in at the Front Desk. You will leave the vacuum aside and go outside to make sure the sidewalk is swept, no garbage is sitting on the planters and the entrance door handles look spotless. While you are wiping the window in the lobby, you may be called for mopping the elevator floor as someone spilled their food delivery. You will be ready and equipped to get the cleaning done swiftly. When you are dusting the hallways, you are asked to assist a teammate by moving some documents to the storage area. You are a team-player and enjoy helping your teammates. You are overseeing the cleanness of the hotel, communicating and working collaboratively with the housekeeping department and other departments. You are always focused on our guests and their needs. Don’t forget you are their ambassador to our hotel, surroundings and city. By the time you leave, you are more than satisfied that the hotel is impeccably cleaned, sanitized and ready for your existing guests to return, new guests to arrive and have the best stay possible.
