# Room 12 is ready.

Housekeeping and the front desk look at the same board. A guest checks out, the room turns dirty and a cleaning task appears. Housekeeping marks it clean, a supervisor inspects it, and reception sees it ready.

**How does housekeeping work in Tivuzo?**
Tivuzo housekeeping gives every room a status (dirty, clean, inspected or out of order) on a board both housekeeping and the front desk can see. Check-out marks the room dirty and creates a cleaning task; a button creates daily cleaning tasks for occupied rooms; maintenance tasks take a room out of order and off the planner. Confirming a new booking assigns clean rooms first.

## Room status

| Status | Meaning | What changes it |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty | Needs cleaning before the next guest. | Check-out, or a daily clean for occupied rooms. |
| Clean | Cleaned, waiting for inspection. | Housekeeping marks the task done. |
| Inspected | Checked by a supervisor and ready to sell. | Supervisor inspection. |
| Out of order | Not for sale: repairs or deep cleaning. | A maintenance task; the room is blocked on the planner. |

Drag a room card between columns on the status board, or update it from a phone on the corridor. Every change is time-stamped with who made it.

## Tasks

### Departure cleans

Created automatically at check-out for the room the guest left.

### Stay-over cleans

One button creates the day's cleaning tasks for every occupied room.

### Maintenance

A dripping tap or broken AC becomes a task; out-of-order rooms stay off the planner until fixed.

### Tracked on a board

See which tasks are done and which are still waiting, room by room.

## Linen and amenities

Housekeeping stores are a store like the kitchen or bar: soap, toilet paper, guest amenities, cleaning chemicals and linen. Issue them to floors, set reorder levels, and count them monthly to see what each occupied room really uses. See [inventory and stores](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-inventory-management-software/) and [hotel stores control](https://www.tivuzo.com/guides/hotel-stores-control/).

## A housekeeping day in Tivuzo

- Morning: the supervisor creates stay-over tasks and sees departures due today.
- Through the day: each check-out turns its room dirty and adds a departure clean.
- Attendants mark rooms clean; the supervisor inspects and releases them.
- Reception assigns arriving guests to inspected rooms first.
- Evening: out-of-order rooms and open tasks carry over to tomorrow's board.

## Housekeeping questions

### Can housekeeping use Tivuzo on a phone?

Yes. The status board and task list work in a phone browser, so attendants and supervisors can update rooms from the corridor.

### Does the front desk see room status live?

Yes. Status changes show immediately on the planner and the arrivals list, and new bookings are given clean rooms first.

### Can I block a room for repairs?

Yes. A maintenance task sets the room out of order and blocks it on the [room planner](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-pms-software/) until it is fixed.

### Do housekeeping staff need a user each?

Supervisors who update the board need a user. Room attendants can work from a supervisor's list if you prefer fewer users.
