Practice Simple, Safe and Smart Cleaning

Spotless, germ-free bathrooms keep guests and visitors happy and healthy. In fact, a clean bathroom consistently ranks as a top attribute contributing to guest satisfaction. However, cleaning 20 or more bathrooms every day is not an easy job for housekeepers. That is why ergonomics, the science of designing jobs, equipment and workplaces to fit the person, is so important. For your hotel staff, it can make work easier, reduce discomfort, lower risk of injury and increase efficiency.

It is just as important to use the right commercial grade bathroom cleaner and disinfectant, multi-surface and glass cleaner, as well as specialty cleaners, to deliver excellent results.  In addition to using these types of products, the use of ergonomic housekeeping tools can reduce heavy-lifting (or reaching, jumping and scrubbing) for your staff and improve the bathroom cleaning process.

Together with safe procedures, these recommendations can improve employee safety, operational efficiency, and ultimately, keep guests happy and healthy.
