Full Size Housekeep Cart 60X22X50 Black
An important but sometimes overlooked factor which is essential to maintaining a clean and professional appearance at hotels, motels and resorts is the selection of efficient and staff-friendly housekeeping carts.
Housekeeping carts (sometimes referred to as “maid carts”) are used every day and are a common sight that patrons encounter. Hotel housekeeping carts must have the strength and capacity to transport and hold items such as towels, tissue paper, toilet tissue, room supplies, cleaning supplies, brushes, brooms, dustpans, waste baskets, fabric bags (for linen storage) and vacuum cleaners.
Hotels want to avoid situations where patrons encounter carts which appear to be disorganized or unsanitary. Thus, not only is the cart’s capacity critical, but its ability to keep as many items out of view as possible, and to keep open items in designated compartments, is also important.
Hotel maid carts should feature ergonomic handles for easy pushing and steering, enabling maids or cleaning personnel to efficiently maneuver the cart while avoiding physical strain. Maid carts should also be equipped with bumpers to protect walls and furniture.
Proof of how seriously housekeeping carts are taken by hotel management came in 2006, when Rubbermaid’s High Security Housekeeping Cart received the Editors’ Choice Award at the International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show in New York City. Noted for its superior organizational capacity in a more compact footprint, this cart features dual access via easy opening, locking cabinet doors, and a hood that keeps cleaning supplies within easy reach, yet concealed and secure.
Most popular housekeeping maid carts, whether compact or high-capacity, feature a wide range of accessories and storage options.
Hotels and motels also utilize numerous similar carts such as janitor carts, cleaning carts, turndown carts, and service carts (for room service).
