The cart is the mobile work tool par excellence of the chambermaid and cleaning staff.

Its function is to allow efficient movement through the different areas of the hotel, transporting everything necessary for preparing rooms and common areas in one go.

A correct organization of the cart not only saves time and unnecessary trips, but also reflects the professionalism and order of the staff.

The Chambermaid Cart: Structure and Assembly

The chambermaid cart is specifically designed for cleaning and restocking rooms.

Its assembly should follow a logical order to facilitate access to the different items throughout the day.

The typical structure is organized as follows:

• Upper tray: This is reserved for smaller replacement items and those that will be used in the bathroom.

Amenities or courtesy items, coffee capsules, water bottles for the guest, and pens are placed here. (always with the point facing down to avoid stains) and any documents the maid needs for checks.

• Middle trays: These are generally used for clean linen.

The towels are placed in the middle tray, sorted and sorted by size (shower, hand, face).

• Bottom tray: This is where bed linen is stored.

Here are the sheets, bedspreads, and pillowcases, all neatly folded and sorted by size to speed up the task of making the beds.

• Sides: The sides of the cart have specific functions.

One of them is equipped with a large bag for the garbage collected from the rooms, while the other side has a bag exclusively for dirty linen (used sheets and towels).

The Cleaning Cart for Areas Common

Unlike the maid cart, the cleaning cart is more focused on transporting tools and machinery for the treatment of floors and larger surfaces in public areas.

This cart allows you to carry tools such as buckets, mops, dusters, and brooms in an orderly manner.

Its structure usually consists of a garbage bag and several trays, and it is assembled as follows:

• Lower side tray: This is the space designated for the largest items, such as mop buckets, brooms, dusters, mops, and mops.
• Middle and lower trays: These are used to place cleaning cloths, such as rags, cloths, and feather dusters.
• Upper tray: This is reserved for cleaning chemicals, ensuring that they are properly closed so that they cannot spill.

Use and Maintenance Protocol for the Cart

The order and cleanliness of the cart are the visible image of the maid's work.

At the beginning of each day, the maid must replenish her cart with all the necessary supplies (towels, sheets, cleaning products, amenities) so as not to have to interrupt her work later.

While cleaning a room, the cart must be placed in front of the door to optimize movement and not obstruct passage in the hallway.

To move it, it must be done safely, using both hands and the strength of the entire body.

At the end of the day, the maid is responsible not only for leaving her cart clean and ready for the next day, but also for organizing the warehouse or office on the floor.

Summary

The maid's cart is organized in a logical way for room cleaning. The top shelf carries amenities, the middle shelves carry linens, and the sides carry trash and dirty clothes.

The cleaning cart for common areas is designed to transport larger supplies. The bottom shelf carries buckets and brooms, the middle shelves carry cloths, and the top shelf carries chemicals.

The usage protocol requires restocking the cart at the start of the day. During work, it is placed in front of the door, and at the end of the day, it is left clean and ready.
