The summer travel season means higher occupancy, busier employees and increased traffic throughout common areas, pools and fitness centers. With travelers encountering germs in airplanes, rental cars, ride shares and public transportation, it is every hotel’s responsibility to maintain a clean, safe environment. Keep guests and staff healthy and productive this summer by using these tips:

• Incorporate hand sanitization stations throughout your property and encourage employees to use them and refill them regularly.
• Stock OSHA and food code-compliant spill kits in foodservice, pool and other common areas. Ensure staff members are trained to safely remove blood, vomit and other bodily fluids quickly and effectively.
• Promote regular handwashing among busy employees and guests by keeping soap and paper towels readily available in lobby, restaurant and pool area bathrooms.
• Keep sanitizing wipes on hand to make regular disinfection of the highest-traffic surfaces easier. Wipe down the front desk counter, public restroom doors, elevator buttons, luggage carts and other surfaces frequently touched by guests.

Promoting a clean, safe environment leaves a lasting positive impression and encourages guests to rebook. For more solutions that improve the productivity and image of your property, contact your Home Depot Pro sales professional today.
