Best practices in sanitation according to hoteliers

Life after the pandemic is going to be different. That’s just a matter of fact, we have all had to enact changes to make sure that we can keep Covid free. Whether those changes entail the mandatory wearing of face masks or ensuring physical distancing in public transportation. Outside of the changes that have to be done in public, our protocols in private have also been affected. When one comes into a house from the outside, they must wash their hands properly and for the necessary amount of time needed to ensure that their hands are bacteria free as well as disinfect their footwear to avoid spreading outside contaminants into the home.

While all these sanitary improvements are being implemented everywhere, there is one industry that even before the Covid pandemic, can be learned from with respect to thorough and convenient sanitation. That is the tourism sector, specifically hotels and resorts. These businesses have ample experience in sanitizing rooms and common areas in between groups of guests. Some are even so efficient that they can make is seem as if there were no prior occupants in a room in as little time as possible before another guest comes in.

Now you might be thinking that these techniques would not be applicable in a home setting. But sanitation can be applied anywhere. Hotels and resorts are used to using the best possible agents and materials for sanitation, this is to ensure that their efforts are as effective as possible. A normal household could take this approach and attempt to use more effective sanitary products in their efforts to keep the home clean and safe. Perhaps using more personalized scents in soaps for example may not only keep you cleaner but also improve your mood. This is only one way that the tourism industry applies sanitation products to have an effect aside from cleaning.

After the restrictions on travel and public gatherings are lifted, I suggest that you visit a hotel or resort near you such as Malagos Garden Resort in Davao City, and observe their sanitation practices. If you are observant enough you may learn a thing or two about proper sanitation.
