Cleanliness is one of the key factors that directly influences guest satisfaction and brings about more glowing reviews. To reach these goals, you may contract out cleaning services and assign housekeeping tasks to them. This is, however, time-consuming and requires sending messages back and forth to keep your cleaners updated. This is where automating your housekeeping tasks by employing a housekeeping mobile app or platform offered by or integrated with your Property Management System (PMS) comes in handy.
Let’s review some of the top cleaning apps that streamline your cleaning tasks.
