"Nine-character formula" to solve hotel room hygiene complaints

A video recently posted online sparked a heated discussion: a waiter at a five-star hotel in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province wiped his toothbowl with a rag and wiped toilet bowl with a bath towel. This again drew public attention to problem of hygiene in hotels.

In today's lesson, we will use this hotspot to analyze causes of hygiene chaos in a hotel and make recommendations for hotel hygiene.

Why do hotels often have hygiene problems?

Many hotel managers are puzzled: why do these loopholes still appear in real operation after extremely thorough cleaning and preliminary training? The hotel can "check for omissions and fill vacancies" in following areas:

1. Pay attention only to visual indicators, not to physical and chemical indicators

In terms of room cleaning procedures, hotel has strict rules regarding cleaning standards and room disinfection procedures, but verification of compliance with standards is carried out only through visual identification, and no scientific testing equipment and facilities have been introduced to ensure that it meets physical - chemical indicators. Daily inspections usually pay attention to general cleaning work that can be seen, but they are powerless over quality of disinfection, which cannot be detected by naked eye. focus only on appearance without scientific means Measure and evaluate.

2. There are loopholes in hygiene management in work procedures

Despite fact that sanitation procedures in hotel rooms are relatively strict, there are still many blind spots and loopholes in real work.

①Plumbing equipment for cleaning

Dragoras are most commonly used cleaning tools. According to requirements, they should be divided into six colors depending on purpose, but in actual work there is no difference. Two rags are used in room from start to finish, and cleaning process even becomes a process of pollution.

② Hotel hygiene management procedures rarely formulate measures for treatment of hotel guests.

Most hotel sanitation management procedures are designed for hotel rooms and staff, and rarely take guest differences into account. In fact, situation of hotel guests varies greatly, and some guests themselves suffer from contagious diseases. It is difficult to guarantee effect of hygienic cleaning and disinfection with cleaning procedures developed by hotels for ordinary rooms.

③ Employees have poor hygiene awareness and do not follow normal cleaning and disinfection procedures

Most of work in hotel room youcarried out only by employees. The procedures and standards of work formulated by hotel, especially implementation and execution of disinfection work, can only rely on conscience of employees.

④ Sanitation procedures for homes of some sick guests are still not perfect.

3. Hotel Management:

For example, there are problems such as rising operating costs in hotels, a decrease in attractiveness of vacancies in hotels, and a lack of highly qualified service personnel.
