Housekeeping

Housekeeping is a critical component of facility management as it plays a significant role in maintaining clean, safe, and hygienic environments for residents, employees, and visitors.

The following are some of the key reasons why housekeeping is important in facility management:

Enhancing the image of the facility

A well-maintained and clean facility can greatly enhance its image and attract residents, employees, and visitors.

Improving indoor air quality

Regular housekeeping activities help remove dust, dirt, and other pollutants that can negatively impact indoor air quality.

Maintaining a hygienic environment

Housekeeping helps prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, reducing the risk of illness and disease transmission.

Enhancing safety

A clean and well-maintained facility reduces the risk of slips, trips, and falls, helping to ensure the safety of residents, employees, and visitors.

Boosting productivity

A clean and organized environment can increase productivity and motivation among employees, leading to higher job satisfaction and improved performance.
