Being able to multitask is the most important skill to have as a housekeeper. In my five years of housekeeping, I noticed that my ability to focus on multiple tasks at once improved with each year, and the strengthening of this ability improved my efficiency. In my previous housekeeper position, I changed cleaning techniques and treatments whenever I went from working with glass, marble, stainless steel or wood. I also prefer to use treatments designed for the room I am working on, such as the bathroom.
