WHY CLEANING IS IMPORTANT IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

Studies have shown that unclean rooms have the greatest negative impact on customer satisfaction.

In fact, 60% of guests will research hotel reviews on sites like TripAdvisor before booking a room and a whopping 71% of guests only consider hotels with ‘above average’ cleanliness ratings.

The cleanliness of guest rooms, bathrooms, bedsheets, towels and common areas all play an important role in customer experience regardless of the property size, brand affiliation or location. Since guest rooms can harbour different types of germs and bacteria, it is critical that they are cleaned frequently to maintain a clean and odour-free environment.

To keep hotel toilets fresh and protected against bacteria, daily restroom cleaning is also very important. The hotel lobbies and non-carpeted floors should be cleaned regularly to prevent dirt and bacteria build-up on these visible and high-contact surfaces.
