How to provide full protection to guests including airborne viruses and bacteria
Going the extra mile to ensure guest safety and increased customer satisfaction and Trust
Manual cleaning methods have limitations. They are designed to create clean to the eye environments.
Vacuum filters, cleaning cloths and other disposables need to be frequently washed or replaced, to prevent cross contamination from room to room. Use of detergents leave chemical trails that are not environmentally friendly and may cause discomfort for some guests.
Airborne micro-organisms- the major cause of infection
Hospitality groups should place specific attention to the airborne micro-organisms that endanger the health of their guests. This problem can effectively be solved with professional Ozone treatment to guarantee a safe environment in rooms and public areas
Ozone, as a gas, is the most powerful oxidizing agent known to science. It is easily generated, and ensures total odor removal, and sanitizing of every point in the room.
Based on studies by leading researchers, use of Ozone can effectively remove bacteria, odors, mold and many common viruses. Hidden and inaccessible corners and surfaces are easily disinfected, providing the guest with a safe, odor free and sanitized environment
Summary
The Hospitality sector is due full credit for the rapid adoption of increased cleaning and safety measures to increase the trust and confidence of the guests. Those that adopt the most stringent measures will be amply rewarded by increased occupancy rates.
