5 hotel cleaning procedures Blackpool

Running a hotel or guesthouse in Blackpool isn’t easy. Between back-to-back bookings, staffing gaps, and last-minute arrivals, things get missed. But when it comes to cleanliness, the small stuff isn’t so small — especially in a world where every guest has a camera phone and a TripAdvisor account.

Here are the 5 most common mistakes I spot during SpotOn 360 audits — and how you can fix them fast:

1. Corners and Skirting Boards

Most cleaners focus on eye-level areas, but guests notice the baseboards. Dust, hair, or fluff build-up here screams “cut corners” — even if the rest is spotless.

Fix: Add a corner/dust check to your final walkthrough.

2. Smudged Mirrors and Glass

Even if the room is clean, a streaky mirror or balcony door gives the impression of carelessness.

Fix: Use a separate cloth just for glass — and check it under natural light before you go.

3. Missed Toilet Bases and Behind Fixtures

This is a hygiene hotspot. Guests don’t always say it, but they absolutely notice it.

Fix: Add a flashlight check — seriously. What you don’t see, they will.

4. Worn or Stained Soft Furnishings

Tired curtains, marked headboards, or cushions with “mystery spots” instantly downgrade the room’s feel.

Fix: Rotate fabrics regularly and consider protective covers. Replace softs before reviews start pointing fingers.

5. Odours (Especially in Carpets)

You might be nose-blind to it, but a guest walking in for the first time will notice.

Fix: Use a neutralizer, not an overpowering spray. And air rooms daily between checkouts.
