Guest Room & Public Spaces Cleaning Process

We have implemented a supplemental cleaning process for guest rooms in which a two-part sanitizing process is being used on all high touch surfaces in guest rooms. The process will be performed by highly trained team member and entails the following:

– Two trained cleaners will work in each room, one will be assigned to the bathroom area and the second to the bedroom area.
– Cleaners will wear new latex gloves that will only be used once to clean one room and then will be immediately discarded.

Each cleaner will be trained to perform a two- part cleaning regimen on all designated surfaces
- Stage 1 – Clean: Using a clean, colored cloth, spray the target surface area with disinfectant cleaner (from dispensing system), then vigorously wipe the surface, removing any debris and/or liquid from the area.
- Stage 2 – Disinfect: Using a different colored cloth, spray the cloth and the target surface with bathroom disinfectant cleaner (from dispensing system), then wipe the surface.
Upon completion, cleaners will place soiled cloths in the dirty laundry.

Cleaning Tools for each Guest Room

4 cloths for each guest room that is cleaned. (2 for bathroom and 2 for bedroom).
Disinfectant bathroom cleaner (from dispensing system) in a new, properly labeled spray bottle, complete with an operating trigger
Gloves (latex or rubber) fitted
