Cleaning Trolleys

How to choose the right Cleaning Trolleys

• Match trolley size to your site layout, ensuring it fits comfortably in corridors, lifts and storage rooms without obstructing guests or staff.
• Decide between open janitorial carts for back-of-house use or enclosed housekeeping trolleys for hotel corridors and guest-facing areas.
• Consider capacity for waste, chemicals and linen based on the number of rooms, covers or cleaning rounds per shift.
• Choose materials such as chrome nickel steel or heavy-duty plastic depending on required durability, weight and cleaning regimes.
• Look for ergonomic handles, quality castors and corner bumpers to improve manoeuvrability and protect walls and doorways.
• Add accessories like spare bags, locking cabinets and organisers to tailor the trolley to your cleaning routine.

Care and maintenance

• Wipe down trolley frames, handles and shelves daily with appropriate cleaning chemicals to maintain hygiene and appearance.
• Regularly empty and clean waste and laundry bags, replacing damaged or heavily soiled bags promptly.
• Inspect castors and wheels for hair, string and debris, lubricating and tightening fixings as needed for smooth movement.
• Check doors, hinges and locking cabinets on housekeeping trolleys to ensure secure, quiet operation in guest areas.
• Avoid harsh abrasives on plastic or coated surfaces; use non-scratch pads and suitable detergents to prevent damage.
• Store trolleys in a dry, designated area to prevent corrosion, trip hazards and obstruction of fire exits.
