How to plan a Good Housekeeping Program?


A good housekeeping plan is imperative to plan and manage a facility or a house properly.

Why does one needs to plan housekeeping program?
  • To ensure orderly storage and movement of the materials from entry to exit point
  • To ensure that there is minimal handling of the material
  • To manage the workforce attendance and skill enhancement/ training effectively
  • To delegate adequate amount of work to the workforce, based on their availability
  • To save the consumer from any damage or loss due to improper handling or storage of the materials. Hence, professional housekeeping services are preferred to avail services from as their team constitutes a set of trained work force
  • Supports your efforts with  the records


Housekeeping services always stay in order if they are planned properly. Cleaning and maintenance is an on-going process, which does not end only with the last minute cleaning at the end of the shift.
A good housekeeping planner or a program, to put it in a better way, identifies the objectives and assigns tasks accordingly.

Dedicate a diary or a notebook to record such activities

Workers will be timely and trained

They are briefed a bit about the work. This helps them in maintaining the quality of services. Their tasks are monitored regularly

The entire day’s routine can be broadly broken in to various segments:
  • clean up during the shift timings
  • Everyday cleanup activities
  • Careful and judicious waste is a necessity.
  • Dumping and Removal of unused materials
  • inspection to ensure cleanup is complete
  • Attendance is up-to-date

However, one should not forget out-of-the-way areas like shelves, porch, window sill, common areas to be cleaned. They collect a lot of dust and other pollutants that keep escaping through small, tiny-winy hole. In case deemed necessary, help from the professional housekeeping agencies in Delhi NCR is preferable.

It goes without saying; a final addition to this program would be a supervision and inspection. The supervision or inspection records should be well-maintained. Without this a housekeeping program won’t be effective.
