Housekeeping Equipment & Supplies

Essential hotel housekeeping equipment includes: housekeeping trolleys (linen and supply carts), vacuum cleaners (upright for corridors, canister for rooms), wet-dry vacuums for bathrooms, mops and buckets (colour-coded), scrubbers for hard floors, window cleaning equipment, and pest control equipment. Larger hotels add ride-on floor polishers for lobby areas and industrial carpet extractors for deep cleaning.

A standard planning ratio is one housekeeping trolley per 10–14 guest rooms per floor, allocated per shift. A 100-room hotel typically needs 8–12 trolleys (to allow for simultaneous service across floors plus spares for maintenance). Luxury hotels may assign one trolley per 6–8 rooms for more personalised service. Post an RFQ on Hospiverse India with your room count and floor configuration for accurate quantity recommendations.

A room attendant trolley (housekeeping cart) is a multi-shelf mobile unit that carries all supplies for servicing rooms — linen, amenities, cleaning chemicals, and waste bags. A linen trolley is a single large canvas bag on wheels, used exclusively for bulk linen transport between laundry, linen room, and floor storage. Hotels use both: room attendant trolleys on each floor and linen trolleys for bulk supply runs.
