• In addition to collecting dirty linen, check whether there is nothing else dirty in the various corners of the room, such as the bin in the bathroom. If so, empty it and insert clean bags.
• After making the bed, we move on to cleaning the spaces, then cleaning the desk and the bathroom with the appropriate detergents. Dust furniture and windowsills, doors and windows, wash mirrors and windows. Clean any hanging paintings because that is where dust forms and the customer may notice that it is not very clean.
• It is important not to forget sanitize every corner of the room. Especially with Covid-19. Then sanitize the remote control, television, handles, telephone and anything else with a special detergent.
