INTRODUCTION
In the lodging industry, most of the products are the same, in terms of rooms,

A. Intangibility services are intangible in nature. It means that services cannot be
seen, tasted, felt, or heard.
B. Inseparability - is a major characteristic of services. It means that services are
generated and consumed simultaneously and cannot be separated from their
providers, whether they are people or machines.
C. Variability - which means that their quality may vary greatly, depending on who
provides them and when, where, and how they are provided.
To ensure that quality rooms will be provided to the guests, the following room
cleaning procedures are observed. There are different procedures and methods that
being used in cleaning a particular rooms, public areas and other sections of the
establishment.

lint- free cloth or feather duster.

8. Use slow, even strokes to give machine enough time to suck dirt, dust and grit.
9. For edges, fit the vacuum cleaner with the appropriate service tool or attachment.
10. Clean the dust bag after each use.

- is used to remove spills and adhered soil that was not removed during dry mopping
or sweeping.
1. Remove any article such as hair and waste in the wash basin.

ACTIVITY 5: APPLICATION
LEARNING OUTCOMES
INTRODUCTION
One of the main tasks of the housekeeping department is to provide not only
fresh and sanitized linens to its guests but also clean and neatly pressed uniforms to
the hotel staff.
If the hotel is larger in terms of number of rooms, it is expected that linens and
uniforms being used in the hotel are more adequate to cater guest’s needs. The
housekeeping department must provide the linens and uniforms at the right time it is
needed regardless of the number of items it has to wash every day.
A good laundry facility ensures the following:
1. Careful handling of linens.
2. Correct handling of linens.
3. Materials are kept in its original condition and color.
4. Proper counting and records are maintained to avoid shortages of linen.
5. Sound policies regarding damages or loss.
It is essential for the housekeeping staff to launder the linen and make it readily
available at all times so that the staff can receive their well-laundered uniforms before
work, and the guests are provided with good quality linen.
It is definitely required to purchase good quality linen; but the life, appearance,
and the quality of linen largely depends upon the treatment it receives at the laundry
by the laundry staff. Small hotels can contract with the commercial laundry services
located outside the hotel. But on the other hand, large hotels built their own premise
laundry facility.

loading it to the washers. This ensures that the correct and acceptable weight of the
linens is loaded in the washers to avoid overloading.

consumes time while automatic folding comes to the aid of the laundry attendant
saving time and effort in folding.
8. Storing - after folding, the linens are stored and shelved by batches, allowing to rest
for 24 hours as this will increase the life of the linens.
9. Transferring linens to designated areas - with the use of clean carts, linens are
transferred to designated areas such as to the linen and uniform room.
