INTRODUCTION

OF
HOUSEKEEPING
Prepared by: Diosdado M. Vallejo Jr.
“I consider housekeeping
to be the heart of hotels
and it is only when
something goes wrong
that is recognized-just
like our hearts.’’
Housekeeping department is
one of the major contributors
in terms of hotel operations
success, though some may
consider this as a
supplementary service only.
There are two types of house
keeping
Domestic and Institutional- Domestic
housekeeping includes housekeeping
service or maintenance done at home.
Institutional housekeeping- on the other
hand, includes housekeeping service
applied to commercial establishments
like hotels, resorts, inn and even
hospitals.
