The holidays are upon us, and with that comes holiday travel! With holiday travel looking a little different this year, safety is more important than ever. As hotel owners, car rental managers, and other similar professionals, it’s your job to ensure cleanliness is at the top of the priority list. At Servico, our electrostatic spraying service is a worry-free solution.

How Can You Prepare for the Holidays?

When you and your staff are preparing for a busy holiday rush, there are some things you shouldn’t forget. Depending on the current regulations in your area, there are different features you might have available to your customers. For example, if you run a hotel, is your pool, workout room, or business area open right now? If so, be sure you get all of those areas clean. If you run a car rental service, which cars are you using right now and which are out of commission? Do you have a lobby that needs cleaning, or are there other meeting places where customers might linger? Be sure to touch on all of those areas.
Also remember to replace things that need replacing and use disposable products if you can in certain areas. For example, your housekeeping staff will obviously get each room ready before customers, but they shouldn’t leave anything untouched in the room. The coffee maker should be cleaned and replaced, the hangers in the closet should be cleaned and replaced, and the sheets should be cleaned and replaced. You could also include a second set of sheets, folded nicely in the closet, in an attempt to cut down on contact through housekeeping staff. In your motel dining area, try to use paper products that can be thrown out. Instead of allowing customer after customer to use the same dishes, even if they’re washed, it might be more sanitary to just have those disposable products. Disposable hand towels in the bathrooms might be another option, and you could have disposable shower curtains and a floor mat as well. 

It might seem counterproductive to disinfect your place of business before the holidays. You’re just going to have to disinfect again after the holidays are over with, so why not just wait until then and do it once?

• Customer Safety – Your customers deserve the safest environment possible while they’re traveling for the holidays. They shouldn’t ever have to worry they’ll pick up a disease or illness while they’re enjoying themselves over their holiday break. Instead, they should feel confident you’ve done everything to ensure the motel room, rental car, or bed and breakfast dining room is ready for them to enjoy without getting sick. OSHA, the CDC, and the EPA have approved all cleaners and disinfectants used in electrostatic machines, meaning they are considered safe to the general public.
• A Thorough Job – Because of the ability for electrostatic disinfectant to wrap around an object in order to clean all areas, it’s going to be a thorough job. All those cracks and crevices, such as on the wood railing or in a floor board, are harboring germs and pathogens. Electrostatic spraying ensures they are all killed before you allow anyone to touch them during the holidays.
• Disinfecting High Traffic Areas – It can be difficult to make all your high traffic areas truly free of germs. Many of those high traffic areas don’t get cleaned like your individual rooms do. With electrostatic spraying, you don’t have to worry about it. The cleaning solution attacks every pathogen it can reach, so even if you’ve had a lot of traffic over the last couple months, you can wipe out almost 100% of the germs they’ve left behind.
• Saving Time – Before the holidays hit, you have a lot to do to get your facility or rental service ready for a possibly high influx of customers. You don’t have the time to wipe everything down. Electrostatic spraying disinfects a large area in just a short period of time. Your large gathering spaces, as well as your smaller rooms or cars, are quickly cleaned so you can move on to something else right away.
• Electronic Safety – One of the benefits of electrostatic spraying is you can use it on electronics. Computer keyboards, telephones, and other electronics harbor a lot of germs. With all the little nooks and crannies on electronic devices such as these, there’s no way you could wipe them down and get rid of everything. Electrostatic spraying spreads down into all the little areas you can’t reach, but it doesn’t destroy any of the technology.
