7 Cleaning Hacks Hotel Staff Use to Deep Clean and Save Time — You Can Try Them at Home

Hotel staff fluff pillows and rotate mattresses daily to maintain shape and prevent dust buildup.

At home, rotate mattresses every few months and fluff pillows weekly.

5. Vacuum First, Then Mop

Hotels vacuum floors thoroughly before mopping to remove debris that can scratch surfaces.

At home, always vacuum or sweep first, especially in high-traffic areas.

6. Use a Toothbrush for Small Crevices

Tiny corners, grout lines, and appliance edges often collect grime.

A soft toothbrush with a little cleaning solution makes these spots sparkle.

7. Daily Maintenance Wins

Hotels don’t leave messes to pile up. Staff wipe down surfaces daily to prevent buildup.

At home, a 10–15 minute daily wipe of counters, sinks, and tables saves hours of deep cleaning later.
