Be organised
Being organised can help you work efficiently and get tasks done more quickly. Make a check list of tasks that need to be completed each day/week/month and try to stick to it as much as possible.

This will help you provide a thorough cleaning service, ensure that your clients are satisfied and help you stay organised and ensure that all tasks are completed in a timely manner.
Have good communication skills
As a housekeeper, you may be working with other people such as homeowners or guests. It's important to be able to communicate effectively with them to make sure that their needs are met and that they are happy with your work. Let your employer know if you need more supplies or if there are any issues that need to be addressed, don't be afraid to ask for clarification if you're unsure of something. This will also help you build trust and ensure that your clients are happy with your work.
Be flexible
Housekeeping can be a demanding job, and you may need to be able to adapt to changing schedules or unexpected tasks. Being flexible and able to roll with the punches can help you be a successful housekeeper. You may be asked to perform tasks that are outside of your usual responsibilities.
