Cluttered Corridors?
Cluttered Corridors?
Is this how you greet your guests on their way to grab a cup of coffee? Nothing says “Good Morning!” like an overloaded housekeeping cart full of soiled linens, dangerous chemical bottles, and nasty toilet brushes… right? With the rising popularity of internet reviews and social media, travelers are making their disgust with the “status quo” of hotel housekeeping known and this could spell trouble for your hotel. Fortunately, Forbes is on a mission to change that…

Guest Satisfaction
Guest Satisfaction
Forbes’ new In-Room Housekeeping Carts are designed to allow housekeepers to easily maneuver their supplies out of hallways and into guest rooms, virtually eliminating guest exposure to used linens, cleaning supplies, and unsanitary conditions. Guests will greatly appreciate the clean corridors, free of housekeeping carts and operations. This will result in an enhanced guest experience which can lead to more guest-referrals through internet reviews and social media channels, and more repeat guests in the future.
Time is Money
Time is Money
Do doctors store their scalpels in the waiting room? Do chefs keep their cooking utensils in the walk-in freezer? Of course not! Then why should a housekeeper leave their cart full of cleaning supplies out in the corridor? The extra walking to and from the cart out in the hallway fatigues the housekeeper and can lead to less efficient work performance. Leaving the cart in the hallway also encourages pilferage of cleaning materials and toiletries from the unattended cart by opportunistic guests and employees.

Safety
Safety, Security, and Efficiency
By bringing the cart closer to the work area, we have helped reduce worker fatigue and worker’s compensation claims. It just makes sense to keep the tools for the job near at hand so that one is not wasting time and energy trekking back and forth. With the carts in the room and the door locked, guest’s valuables are secure and the housekeeper is safe. This will also reduce, if not eliminate, pilferage of items from the cart by passing guests and employees.
Quit Wasting Money
Quit Wasting Money
How much money do you spend on worker’s compensation claims related to pushing around heavy, overloaded housekeeping carts? How much money do you spend each year on repairing dented and scratched walls and door jambs, or on replacing broken furniture and fixtures? The old way of doing things just assumed that these extra expenses were a part of doing business in the hotel industry, but Forbes has a new way that will lower or eliminate these unnecessary budget items from your bottom line.

Return On Investment
Return On Investment
Protecting your employees from straining and injuring themselves while trying to wrestle around a cart that weighs twice as much as they do is an ROI that pays dividends far into the future. The Forbes In-Room carts have a shorter overall cart length than traditional carts and are available in molded plastic, greatly reducing the overall size and weight of the guest room attendant cart. Protecting your walls, door jambs and furniture from damage is an ROI you and your guests can realize immediately. The four revolving corner bumpers and full perimeter fixed vinyl bumper provide dual protection for your walls, entryways, furniture, and fixtures. The carts are also equipped with large tracking casters that roll easily on any surface and allow them to be moved away from a wall or door jamb with ease when in “all swivel mode”. Two of these tracking casters have a swivel lock that, when engaged, allows them to act as rigid casters when you need to roll the cart straight down long corridors.
