Guests know their accommodations were previously used by hundreds if not thousands of guests before them, but they certainly don’t want to be reminded of it by finding remnants of dirt left behind by those who enjoyed the hotel’s amenities before them. While your housekeeping staff do their best to tend to standard room cleaning, oftentimes, rooms and common areas are in need of a more thorough cleaning every season–or more frequently–depending on use (and your proximity to seabirds).
No More Common Complaints
Common areas see a lot of foot traffic and recreational use by guests who tend to be a little lackadaisical when it comes to picking up after themselves while on vacation. There’s often the assumption that someone on staff will happily come along to properly discard of litter left behind. Melted ice cream and soft drink spills can leave a sticky film on surfaces that serves to attract more dust, dirt and hair. Outdoor areas are exposed to the ravages of the Island’s healthy seagull population, making a thorough surface cleaning a must.
Carpets and flooring often see the worst of it. Outdoor dirt, pollen and debris is carried in on guests’ footwear and luggage, and over time, leaves unsightly marks in common area carpets and streaks across smooth flooring that a quick vacuum can’t remove. Dust left on surfaces can contribute to allergies and an overall disheveled appearance, lowering the overall perceived value of your establishment.
