As a housekeeper you will take care of the general cleaning of the rooms in the resort or hotel. You will make use of a vacuum cleaner, duster and cleaning detergent. You responsibilities extend to making the bed, changing the bed clothes, dusting the furniture and making sure that the room is reset every morning so that when the guest returns it looks and feels the same as when they first arrived. Hygiene and safety are an important responsibility for housekeeping staff, as well as to monitor room maintenance and make sure that the resort’s standards are being adhered to. Sometimes there might be more to the housekeeping as set out in the duty roster you receive. For instance, in smaller resorts the housekeeper does not just have the responsibility of cleaning and maintaining the rooms, but he or she will also need to keep the lounge or public area clean.
