• Do evening turndowns with chocolates and curtain closing.
• Wash, dry and press linen and table cloths in the laundry.
• Inspect rooms against the checklist before release to front office.
• Update room status on the housekeeping app or board after each room.
• Mix chemicals safely and store them as the MSDS sheet shows.
• Hand in lost property with a written log entry.
• Strip beds, make them up with fresh linen and square the corners.

• Weekend and public holiday work
• Fit enough to lift mattresses and push trolleys all day
• You can finish around 14 rooms in a shift
• Hotel, guesthouse or domestic cleaning experience

• Chemical handling training
• A supervisor course or time spent running a floor
• Basic first aid certificate

• Meals on duty
• Monthly award for best room scores
• Staff transport from nearby townships for early shifts

• Write how many rooms per shift you managed at your last job; supervisors look for that number.
• A clean, clear police clearance helps; mention it if you have a recent one.
