Housekeepers should clean the shower and toilet in hotels before guests arrive. This includes scrubbing the tub, shower, and sink. The toilet should be cleaned with a disinfectant cleaner and the floor should be mopped. In the shower, make sure to clean any mould or mildew that may have formed and leave it dry.
