Things changed after the outbreak of pandemic COVID-19. Travellers stopped travelling that has severely affected the tourism industry. People were at home, taking care of social distancing, and following new normal. Hotels, airlines, the work of the travel agents, and other people related to the tourism industry were poorly affected and had seen a major decline.

For the tourism industry, things are getting better because the airline facility has started and people have started travelling both domestic and international. The hotel booking is catching the pace and owners are getting the opportunity to serve the guests following the new guidelines. There are a lot of other things happening in the entire world.

In this post, we will discuss one major concern after reopening the hotels i.e. cleanliness and hygiene. If you are a hotel owner, it’s your responsibility to follow the right cleaning habits and ensure no guests get infected from coronavirus. You need to forget the things you did before COVID-19 and do what the current situation demands.

The new approach to follow for hotel cleaning amid COVID-19 is:

Don’t clean your hotel for appearance 

 Previously, the review and ratings of the hotel were primarily based on the appearance. Today, your objective should be cleaning for health. Instead of showing shiny lobby floors and clean linens, you should be concerned about the germs entering your hotel. You should minimize exposure to infection and protect your hotel.  

Try to inactivate the viruses and kill the bacteria to limit the spread of harmful pathogens. The time will come when cleanliness will become a new norm and appearance will be nowhere.

Follow new cleaning standards for your hotel

• We already said that things have changed so you should implement your old and out-dated cleaning techniques. The best way is to consult professionals providing hotel cleaning services. They are updated with the new cleaning standards and know what’s best to attract the guests at this difficult time.
• Based on the discussions with the experts, you should use and implement safe products for cleaning your hotel. You should check the compositions of the cleaning solutions and consider the manufacturer’s instructions. If you are unable to decide the right cleaning solution, we recommend using hospital-grade disinfectants. The disinfectants should be harsh on the pathogens but not on people.
• Hiring professionals for hotel cleaning services is a great step. They are duly trained and licensed to perform projects. But in case you are working with an in-house cleaning team, you should conduct quality training for the workers. You should make them aware of the new cleaning standards and other cleaning processes to prevent the spread of the virus.

For tourists, it’s very difficult to stay away from their house where there is less control over cleanliness. So along with hotel cleaning, you should focus on communicating with your guests. You should explain the steps taken by you and develop trust in the minds of your guests.  

Lastly, if you demonstrate a commitment to health and safety now, we guarantee you will go a long way.
