THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A PRISTINE CLEANING REGIME
Expert guidance from P&G Professional on how to reassure guests with cleanliness concerns
While we're still in the heart of the winter, cold and flu season is once again in full swing - and as the spread of Omicron continues, there is no room for complacency when it comes to stemming the current tide of the pandemic.
Hospitality staff are often short on time, and as such, they need products that are easy to use yet highly effective, and cleaning regimes that are simple to follow but deliver stellar results.
To ensure your B&B is in tip-top condition this winter, P&G Professional recommends following three guiding principles: prepare, establish,
and enforce:
PREPARE: Being ready for everyday infection control can help when an outbreak occurs
Have a written and posted plan for infection control
Ensure a stock of cleaning products, tools and supplies
Train employees on PPE and keep it available
ESTABLISH: Consistent and frequent cleaning policies and procedures are critical
Proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures should be part of every employee's training plan
Managers are the role models - exhibit the behaviour you want to see
Post your policies and make them easily accessible
ENFORCE: Enforcing the ‘good behaviour' of cleaning and disinfection can help ensure it's done right
Catch your employees cleaning and reward the actions
Have frequent spot checks
Train by doing - when you notice improper procedure, correct it by showing the right way
In addition to an effective and enforced cleaning regime, it's important to choose high quality products to provide a thorough clean and reassure guests. P&G Professional offers a range of trusted household name brands to help business owners keep their B&Bs pristine.
