Hotel Disinfection

The State of Health in the Hotel Industry

The hotel industry has been declining for a while, even before the coronavirus pandemic hit the country. But, that doesn’t mean hotels weren’t affected by COVID-19. On the contrary, this worldwide health crisis forced many hotels to close down — some on a permanent basis.

As hotels reopen, the one thing customers have on their minds is whether or not their accommodations are clean and safe. After all, along with restaurants and gyms, hotels have been named as a COVID-19 superspreader risk.

However, apart from the coronavirus, hotels also face other health-related problems brought on by high traffic, improper cleaning and disinfecting procedures, and poor employee hygiene. All this, in turn, will ultimately result in a lower occupancy rate and affect your bottom line.

Beyond the financial implications, hotels also have a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of its guests and workers. A clean and healthy environment builds a positive reputation and contributes to employee productivity.

The Importance of Disinfection in Hotels

Hotels must adopt stringent strategies to cope with COVID-19 and help mitigate its transmission. Many hotel chains have already publicly released their plans to implement more frequent cleaning and disinfection procedures. Your own plan should involve the following strategies:

Hotel Cleaning physically removes germs from objects and surfaces, thereby lowering their numbers. However, this process doesn’t necessarily kill them.

Hotel Sanitization is reducing the number of germs on a given surface or item to a safe level as determined by public health standards.

Hotel Disinfection eliminates germs, along with viruses and bacteria, with the use of powerful chemicals called disinfectants. This process, though, doesn’t necessarily clean the surface or object.

While most of the cleaning can be delegated to hotel staff, COVID-19 disinfection is best left in the hands of professionals like Charlotte Metro Cleaning.

How Hotel Electrostatic Disinfection Works

Charlotte Metro Cleaning specializes in electrostatic disinfection, a relatively new way to disinfect surfaces and objects. Compared to traditional methods, though, electrostatic disinfection is more effective and efficient.

But, how does hotel electrostatic disinfection work? This method uses an electrostatic sprayer to positively charge disinfectants as it leaves the machine. The sprayed droplets, now behaving like magnets, stick to surfaces and objects in an even coat. With an electrostatic sprayer, you don’t need to worry about missing spots or hard-to-reach areas.

In addition to full coverage, electrostatic disinfection is also 70% faster and uses 65% percent fewer chemicals than traditional methods. Additionally, due to its contactless application, it prevents the risk of cross-contamination. The disinfectant dries fully and leaves zero residue — no wipedowns necessary.
